What do/would you people do if you went out on a couple of dates with someone and you just weren't feeling the romantic thing but you were open to being friends? Would you tell the person that you are feeling friend vibe (assume they've asked you out again but no firm plans) or would you just not go out with them and leave it at that? Why am I so bad at this? Is there any point to trying to convert this barely-dated into a friend? No, right? So why is it hard for me to just blow someone off? Ugh.

I would think that the way the relationship started would have the potential to sort of leave a feeling of something failed, for lack of a more sensitive word, in the air?
Also, just a thought (as if it were my place to tell you what you're thinking). You call the last guy Mr. Patience. You are now wondering if you can turn a failed dating partner into a friend. Is it possible you aren't really ready to start dating again? At least not above a certain threshold?
