There always could be "someone better" out there, no matter how many or how few people you've been with, if you're looking for an excuse. Considering however that she hasn't dated anyone else, I can understand her possible doubts. Even though I don't believe you have to date a bunch of people to find "the right one", I do think that dating doesn't just teach you about other people, it teaches you a heck of a lot about yourself. Maybe that's what she's going through right now. Perhaps it's more of a sense that she doesn't know who she is as an individual, hasn't quite discovered where her personal life is headed, or doesn't know if she can trust her own judgment based on limited experience (I went through that myself) rather than the actual relationship with you.
I would agree with the others in the idea of letting her go through this and simply supporting her right now. That may be all she needs and may never date anyone else. If she does actually want to explore other relationships, let her and just be there for her. You don't have to like it, but her knowing that you trust her and are willing to go outside of what your heart tells you for her will make the relationship a lot stronger in the long run. I wouldn't go into any kind of disaster-type thinking right now. There's that saying "If you love someone, set them free. If they don't come back, they were never really yours to begin with."
P.S. pytsip, I also thought of Boy Meets World. Excellent show.
