The problem with many relationships is that people have this idea that there should be compromise.

You mention that your potential mate is "really attractive". If that's her main asset, then you may end up with someone who expects you to compromise your own goals, etc.

It really depends on how you look at love. Some people look at it as though the most loving thing you can do is sacrifice yourself and your own dreams, while others view the highest/best thing you can do to be simply following your own dreams.

In my opinion, both people should follow their own dreams independently, and discuss them occasionally over dinner, etc.
