That's not what it means. Given your boyfriend example low expectations doesn't mean you don't believe you can get a "better" (whatever that means to you) boyfriend because there's nothing better for you. It means find the best boyfriend you can but keep your expectations of the relationship low/realistic. Not expectations like, "I expect he will never beat me." But expectations like, "He's certainly going to disappoint me on occasion by not being as considerate of my feeling as he always could be, but that's ok because he's just human."
