I had a really exceptional girlfriend (extremely smart, successful and beautiful) - and married her. In general you should see it as a success. Most people only date the next-best-fit, you found someone you admire. Ask her what she admires/ loves in you and you'll surely find out some truly exceptional facts about yourself to soothe your self-esteem.

Congrats! Your comment suggests, and I concur, that you could find out what she finds attractive about you and then making sure that you don't drop the ball on that and related areas. You need to remember that beauty (handsomeness) is in the eyes of the beholder. Sustaining some shared interests is also very important.

That's a cute idea actually. I just hope she won't comment about my looks. I really hope there's something else there :)
