No More LRT, but slow progress

Man, I feel like you just went days and days with getting the best advice on these boards and you went against everything that some very wise people have advised you to do.

I agree. You should have cancelled dinner. No question. You are emotionally too involved. Do you get that the "going dark" thing is just as much for you as it is for her? It allows you to see more clearly what is really happening here.

Didn't I mention before that she sees this as a game and you said, no, she doesn't. BUT NOW YOU'RE TELLING HER THIS IS ALL A GAME?? I guess you need to go through this in order to learn but I don't see this working out in your favor if you continue this way.
