Expression: "out of my league"
Meaning: Think of this in terms of sports leagues. Because of having less athletic ability, a lower league team cannot be expected to compete and win versus an upper league team. Over time, this has evolved to mostly describe romantic relationships. Someone who is "out of your league" is perhaps very attractive, or very wealthy, or famous, or in some way is someone who cannot be expected to develop a romantic interest in someone so much less attractive, less wealthy, not famous, and so forth.
Example: "I am in love with my favorite movie actress, but she's out of my league."
