Welcome to the board esorycatshighbury,
Only you know what you can live with....
You're not too "good" for him but it sounds as though you're too ambitious for him.
I want you to think ahead in 5 or 10 years when you really want to start a career but he is not interested in the kind of life you want to lead. Will you still love him even if you feel he's holding you back socially and financially? I agree that he sounds like a great friend but not the best boyfriend for someone with your education and goals. However... Only you can really know for sure. If you're 100% satisfied with this guy and living with someone who isn't nearly as ambitious as you, then that's admirable. But be realistic about your goals and what you really want to be able to share with someone. It doesn't hurt to listen to your friends but they also could be biased by the fact that he isn't open or outgoing with your friends.
