<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

So there was this international student this year at my college. She came and I instantly liked her. At first she sorta friendzoned me but after a month and a half of work I was able to get out of the friendzone and for a week and a half she said she liked me. We were sorta of dating without dating. 
But some things happened and she decided to give up becuase it was complicated and stressful for her. Now she wants to be friends with me but I still like her.  
Is it mean to just not be friends with her? Especially  since she is an international student and doesn't have many American friends already? Does it make me an asshole to just say "I don't want to be your friend"?
P.S. our college is super small, like only 1,000 students, so I see her a bit still.
<bot>: I chased a girl for two months then she finally decided to call it off and tell me she didn't like me anymore. Do I have to be friends with this person?
