Are you dating someone that you consider “out of your league”? How is it going?

2. I sometimes feel like I’m dating someone who is out of my league. I know that I also have a lot to offer, but my partner is super athletic, outdoorsy, charismatic, proactive, good with animals and people, great at cooking, a musician, super smart, good looking… So, it’s a lot haha. And in the first year and half I was often insecure, felt like they were going to leave me for someone who would be more of their caliber or something. I still feel a bit insecure sometimes when the conversation goes towards things that I don’t do like extreme sports.

   But I’d say that in the past year or so, it’s weighed me down a lot less. I realize more what I bring to the relationship, what are my good traits, and how my partner and I make each other better. Some of the things that make me great are less obvious, and some of them I also just forget

3. Leagues aren’t a thing. Compatibility is. What will allow compatibility differs from person to person. So shoot your shot and see if you might be compatible.

4. I’m not currently in a relationship, but I have been known to date women I perceive to be “out of my league”. Some are interested and some aren’t, but the ones I’ve spent more time with are genuinely just nice people who I get along with. While attractive individuals might have options, lots of people are intimidated and won’t approach them for that very reason. I really believe being a generally nice and cool person will do wonders for dating compared to the affect of looks.
