Give me a character's name and I will tell you three reasons why it would be terrible to try to date them, have sex with them, or be in a long-term relationship with them.
For an extra challenge, pick characters you know I'm fond of. Anyone can tell you reasons not to date Cthulu, after all.

1. The obvious one is that she's broken; she's suffered a trauma that she hasn't dealt with constructively, and instead has become volatile and irrational, often feeling threatened by and lashing out at the very people she should be allowing to help her (including you if you don't walk on eggshells).
2. She will over-attach to you, having bought into all the Shoujo tropes about love being, as the saying goes "not everything, the only thing." Love means the world to her---as in literally, given the choice between her relationship with you and the whole world, she will display no sense of perspective. You don't actually want to be on the receiving end of that.
Mirrorverse!Yui:
1. She tends to be the cerebral type, and may come off as cold and calculated at moments when warmth would be called for. (Given the choice between her relationship with you and the whole world, her sense of perspective might be uncomfortably good.)
2. In certain areas I think it's fair to say that she can be a know-it-all; being from a much more "advanced" society than the people around her would probably compound this.
And the last one does double duty, applying to both (and possibly spoilery, but I'm not to worried about it):
3. Disadvantages of Mikos in general: If they haven't summoned their god yet, they're not allowed to have sex. If and when they summon the god, a price for that is that they can't have children. Being with someone with a Miko's level of fame and political importance also seems like it would be a pain in the ass even under the best circumstances---and if they fail to summon the god (eg if you have sex), then you're with someone who's pretty much a national disgrace. (Not even getting into the culture shock/whose world will you live in/etc...)

That's one of your worldbuilding additions, right? It's an interesting one. It makes sense as a complement to the "no sex before summoning" rule that canon provided.

(Of course, it'll be an issue for Hotohori and Yui, but adoption always seemed to work better for the Romans, anyway...)
