A gorgeous guy once broke up with me because he felt that he was 'dating down' and 'settling'. I told him that, with that mentality, he might not ever find what he's looking for.
That's insane. Can't believe anyone was douchebag enough to make a statement like that...he did you a favor walking out of your life. Hope he got his eyes examined since then.

I'm afraid to say a good Waterboarding is in order, right buddy?
People have been shown through studies to subconsciously pick a mate based on how physically compatible they are. As the old adage goes, "5's pick other 5's, and 10's pick other 10's." This is almost universally true in societies which have free marriages. Even in societies with arranged marriages (there are no exclusive societies like this anymore, but it is widespread in many) the happiness of a marriage depended on a number of factors, and this was one of them. Old matchmakers would use this to see how well the two would get along, among other things.
So, what I'm trying to say here is he is dating you and if you two continue to go out and have fun and enjoy each other, then you are underestimating your own attractiveness. And also remember one person's 10 could be another's 7. I'm attractive but not movie star material, so I usually attract the looks of other women when I go around, but even so, when I was single, not every girl would want to talk to me.
Just enjoy yourself
That said yes, I have dated girls who I thought were porn star material and I have to say that the sex was great, but ultimately they all failed for a variety of reasons, and I ultimately married a sweet woman who I wanna be with the rest of my life. It's all about compatibility and if you feel right, go for it . You don't have to ask "have you ever dated someone who's TOO beautiful" ... don't think about it too much and let your heart guide you. Women these days think like this too much, it would make the world a better place if people (not just women) felt their hearts more.
Ok, so I recently had a date with someone who was easily the hottest (non-celebrity) guy I've ever seen. It's possible that I just live in a town full of unattractive dudes, but this guy is INCREDIBLE. It was only our first date, so I don't know him very well, but I can't imagine that he doesn't have women lusting after him wherever he goes. He is 110% my physical type- I wouldn't change a thing about him.
As for myself, I'm cute, but kind of shy and not really one to flaunt my assets. The guys I've dated in the past have been averagely cute and more on the shy side also. This guy also seems really down to earth and not aware of how attractive he is, but I can't help but notice it!
Anyway, I know this isn't something I should be worried about, but how do you get over the initial shock of dating someone so gorgeous? How do you deal with feeling like they may be out of your "league", so to speak?
You have to realise and be ok with the fact that other women will always be checking him out.

First of all, I don't really believe in the 'out of your league' thing. I do believe in different worlds and not having enough things in common because of it (as well as different perspectives on the world and how to plan and conduct your life). But don't pin your 'league' status on something as fleeting and subjective as looks.
Second of all, like many beautiful women, I'd bet there are plenty of gorgeous men who want someone to like them for what they have to offer as a person rather than just their looks.
Looks also fade quickly once someone opens their mouth, I've discovered. There is nothing less attractive than any person who is obviously a complete dolt or an arrogant jackass. One of my exes was super-hot and accomplished and had even done modeling on the side (while working on a Harvard PhD in molecular biology), but she was a completely embittered, psycho relationship terrorist.

That being said, i have dated a couple women who, when with, we'd get the "you look/make a cute couple" comments a few times..guess it is because we both are..or were attracted to/by the youthful, baby face type..<shrug>
I did date a woman who had began a modeling career right after High School..She was gorgeous, but had less personality then a stone..Sorry, but she was more concerned about money and joining those pyramid scheme things and could be very judgemental at times..this was part of i broke things off.

He sounds like a jerk - good riddance and all that!
You should have told him you were "dating down" as well - mentally.
