Thanks for your optimism.

Unfortunately, at this point it is a tiny bit late. When I was discussing this with her, she said, "Well, if you want, you can cancel it then,"
To which I responded, and probably this was the incorrect response, "Well, if that is what you want, let me start getting ready for another time."
To which she responded, "Is that what I said?" In an undertone I interpreted as expressing displeasure, or possibly irritation. So, even though I already considered, and even motioned for the idea of calling the date off, it didn't work.

This is something I'm afraid of, but have been seriously considering as being a very big possibility. Sometimes, I imagine, that when people post here, they kinda want sympathetic post that reinforce the fantasy, "everything will be all right," but instead they get hit in the face as hard as possible with the black-and-white truth. I was expecting a few more responses in this vein, but please understand that I have been considering this position already, and I appreciate your well grounded stance in reality.

They have very weird rules about people being allowed into their house. (Another reason for misgivings about the whole idea) but I like the advice that you gave. Having an adult to adult conversation is a good idea, I think, but I imagine that if they won't let me into their house, that I need to instead, invite them to an alternative venue, like my house.

It is as you can read above in my response to 3... if that helps give you any perspective on her point of view. She has told me before that her parents are a little weird, and I have told her before that she is an adult.

Again, thank you for your responses everyone. I wanted to vent my frustrations somewhere, and I didn't feel like laying this on my real life friends, and my family wasn't really available to talk to at the moment.
