To me, hearing the phrase "he/she is out of my league" seems ludicrous. It's buying into the idea that true love (which exists) is contingent on social hierarchies or a caste system. True happiness and success in any relationship is dependent on the goodness of two people, not what the two people do for a living or what type of background they have. That's not to say that certain factors can help (two people who are both working double shifts would have a hard time maintaining a relationship), but to think that the fact that one person is physically more attractive, or has accomplished more professionally or academically in life dooming a relationship seems laughable to me. The goodness of your partner is going to fundamentally determine the success of your relationship, not the pedigree of you and your partner.
