If I knew this relationship didn't have long-term potential, would I break it off?

I'm not sure which answer points to "Engage" here! I would guess "yes", since it allows you to reason "...and I'm still around, which means I believe it has long-term potential, which means we should get engaged". But "no" indicates attachment to the person and a willingness to make the relationship work even if it's rocky.
