let's say you meet someone who is ridiculously good-looking. however, this person is also a total overachiever. they have accomplished a lot and show no signs of stopping. they are impressive to have as a date, and you know guys/girls will both be jealous.

what are the cons of dating such a person?

I'm pretty sure it could be stressful. Having to be with someone whom is never good enough, that could put some strain on you or the relationship. I mean, it's nice to have goals, but sometimes you need to know what is reasonable.

That his career is more important than you.

He could turn out to be EXTREMELY rich

He could get bored of you and coincidentily dump you.

They might try to make you perfect in ways you don't want to be.
They might put school/work before spending time with you.

I'm dating a 15-year-old college student. I know the situation. It can be stressful, especially when they are in alot of programs and such. He gets stressed out alot, but it's nice to be able to comfort him.

Give me time I will be clear. Given time you'll understand;

I'm in this mood because of scorn. I'm in a mood for total war.

They make time for you if they really like you.

I am confident enough in myself to be able to go out with a person like this, however if they are expecting my to get straight A's join, NHS, and other prestigious things, then no I would not date someone like that.  I want them to base their beliefs on my on what I am, not what they can shape me into.

One time, this girl I was interested in wanted to actually see my progress report before she went out with me!  It wasn't that bad, like A's and B's, but I mean come on!  I don't want a person that would baby me all the time, (a little, I admit, is kind-of cute, I don't want to be the mature leader, if you will, of the relationship) I want someone who would like me for me.

If they are an over-achiever, then have at it.  I am confident in myself enough to date one.

There could be a lot of pressure on your part to be as successful as they, and also they may be very involved in their work, with not much time for the relationship.
