Temmie,
I just reread the posts about your date with Dennis. I'm not seeing where it was such a disaster. Sounds like you both talked in a little more depth than I would on a first date (but I'm a prude), but other than that, I'm not seeing where the disaster was. You may not be destined to be married and live happily ever after, but that's not what first dates are for. First dates are to meet new and different people and find out what you do and don't like AND TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
You said: "I'm just glad to have spent a fun evening with someone I can be upfront and honest with, who seems to honor my feelings, interests, desires, etc., including my need to TAKE THINGS SLOW."
So, can't you say that you had an enjoyable evening, but you probably don't want to see him again? That's not a disaster. That's one more experience for your life.
As for Paul. Please stay strong. I think that if you looked at it Objectively (I don't think anyone looks at things objectively) that you would agree that you would be better off married to Dennis than Paul. Just my opinion.... Since you didn't ask...
