There’s no getting around it — I’m old-fashioned (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impasse

'there's no getting around it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'i'm old-fashioned' is the wordplay.
'old-fashioned' becomes 'passe' ('passe' can be a synonym of 'old-fashioned').
'im'+'passe'='IMPASSE'

(Other definitions for impasse that I've seen before include "Stalemate situation" , "cul-de-sac" , "Lack of movement" , "Unpromising situation" , "deadlock results" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
