I think a lot of times, the freshmen-junior thing (regardless of whether the girl or the guy is the older person) is a little sketchy, if only because almost all the time the older person has such an upper hand. But that's not a problem for you, I guess, since you're the older person. Just think back to how you were as a freshman, how there was a mystique about the older guys... well you get the picture.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I lived through this (barely) - and because the maturity level was so different - he was a sophmore in college and I had already graduated and working in a successful company - i have vowed never to date anyone younger again. I was always stuck with paying for everything, getting nothing in return, and having to deal with his stupid stuff like his MOM calling my house on the weekends to nag him....blah! never again!!!
