I've been in similar situations before, and I've found that the following works:
If you want to be friends / acquaintances with her, treat her that way. She'll probably catch the signals, be upset by it, and either you'll be something-less-than-friends or you just won't see each other much. If it comes to a point where you have to either be the a. friend or b. prospective boyfriend, then you have to come clean with her and make sure she knows that you're not interested in dating her. That's where something like the athiest/Catholic thing becomes very important. I would avoid telling her that she looks like a harlot with all the make-up going on, and that you think she must breathe through her ass in order to keep talking incessantly, but a mention of divergent faiths and how you "just don't see it working out," and you're "not ready for that kind of committment right now." Don't forget "It's not you, it's me." The old gold standard.
Do not go meet her parents in the official "meet the parents" capacity. Wrong signal to send.
