Right. Dasein is not a person. Dasein is the complex of meaning and disclosure of the world that arises between interaction between a person and the world. Sartre didn't understand this, or didn't agree with it, and so winded up both Cartesianizing Heidegger and making the subject into the source of meaning. Whereas in Heidegger the person does not force meaning upon the world but discloses it through various modes of comportment.
On a different note, the government has stopped letting the Great Patriotic War vets march on Red Square on Victory Day on account of their age. That is depressing. In 30 years no one will remember what Victory Day means. That's even more depressing.

Dasein does not translate as "me."
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
