When my wife and I first started, we felt the same way. However, we quickly learned that playing with and against better players improved our performance. We still go to advanced beginner play (primarily because many of the people we started with still go) and we often hear some new players voice the same complaint. But we also have new players seek us out as partners because they want help improving their game. If you remain uncomfortable playing with better players, let them know. When someone tells us they are very new, we step out of line and help them find players at their level.
