Falling for friend but it wouldn't work out; breaking when we share social circles?

[throwaway321]

She's better educated than I am, makes much more income, I'm barely taller than her, has a phenomenal personality, the list goes on and basically there's literally nothing I'd have to offer her in a relationship in any objective sense. Atop that, even if she agreed, I've had the 'honor' of meeting her family and I'm definitely not the one they had in mind for her and I'd never want to be that wedge. Since it is getting more uncomfortable being near her, I think it's best to cut ties.

 

 

 

Issue is, we are both relatively new transplants when we met who didn't know many people so we ended up attending a lot of events/activities together creating a similar group of friends for both of us. So... it's not really as simple as just cutting her out of my life. Luckily I don't have to see her for some time, as she's traveling for the holidays. She texted me a few hours ago, I don't really want to respond. Has anyone even had a similar experience?
