Think of it the other way: The more people you meet, the more likely you'll find ones that don't spurn your advances, or better yet jump you as soon as they get the chance! :) Nothing is certain.
You will never know how you will deal with a relationship ending until it happens: worrying about how you will deal if you get dumped is like trying to learn to ride a bike and spending all your time thinking about how much it will hurt when you hit the ground instead of learning how to pedal (and that's to say nothing of actually enjoying it!)
And anyway, every break up is different and it doesn't get any easier. (Hell, I've just gone through my worst ever and I've had more than a few relationships.) Of course, you can't assume that they'd break up with you, either!
(Have you seen 16 Candles, by the way? You reminded me of a really sweet quote in there by Sam's father: "That's why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they'd call them something else.")
