Thank you to everyone who replied.
After reading your replies and talking with my T, I realize that what happened was a success.
First, I accepted her invitation.
Second, I showed up.
Third, however awkward and stilted, I did carry on a conversation.
Fourth, I was able to spot some red flags about her. My T confirmed them and said I probably shouldn't actively pursue the friendship, but that that is OK.
Realizing all this makes me feel proud of myself.
