<human>: So I recently started a college course in Science. I am particularly keen on it and have learned from other courses (Med terminology, micro, gen bio, ect.) I also am very antisocial. I will intentionally go out of my way not to make friends or communicate with classmates. So A few weeks ago the class started and I just randomly took a seat next to a semi attractive girl. FF to the week before last when we had a group project and she immediately chose me to be in the group, so I was like whatever why not. 

Now that we're in a group I try to be friendly to her (as not to be a dick) and make small talk and make jokes and whatnot. Well I think she likes me. However when I try to text her and strike up a convo, she ignores me. 

So here's the dilemma, I want to be friends because we're in a group, but I don't want to think I like her YET I don't want to be a dick and just ignore her.

How do I proceed?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: a classmate chose me to be in a group project, I think she likes me. I want to let her down, without accusing her of liking me and without leaving the group as not to be an ass.
