Should I be her friend if friendship is all I want?

I’m bisexual with a preference for men. So I choose not to date women. I met through a mutual friend, a bisexual woman with a preference for women. Who chooses not to date men. Upon asking for her friendship and making it clear that this was all I wanted, she gave me her number and said that she thinks the best relationships come from friendships and she tried to sit on my lap later. Should I try to be her friend, just hanging out in groups, like my bestie does with straight men pursuing her that she doesn’t like? Or should I just avoid her in future? I know I’m not going to change my mind about her.
