If you're worried about people not sharing interests with you, maybe you should poke around the student union (or check your school's website) and see if there's any clubs or organizations that sound fun to you. I helped to run a zombie apocalypse twice a year on my campus and met lots of crazy, awesome, equally nerdy people doing it. I was in the marching band, and so was fortunate enough to make friends that lasted the whole 4 years and beyond in the week before most people even came to campus. There was a pretty equal girl to guy ratio in my group of marching band friends, and well...the zombie apocalypse was pretty much a sausage fest. It was funny because the male admins would swing between treating me like one of the guys and deciding that I was their princess and too frail to do things (naturally that part would occur AFTER I toted a 50 lb garbage pail full of rocks across campus for a mission prop).
I doubt that people actually assume it, honestly, but if people assume that you striking up a conversation automatically equals you hitting on them, they need to get over themselves. I wouldn't worry too much about it. At the beginning everyone's in the same awkward transition phase.
