Adolescence is a difficult time for all. Boys are expected to maintain a facade of tough macho independence, and they also fear that friendships will be taken out of context and the guys will use it to torment them. Boys tend to develop socially, at a slightly slower pace than girls. They are not as comfortable with expressing their feelings, and are busy proving they can measure up to MAN Standards. Though they are definitely interested, it may take some time to work their courage up and figure out what to do about it.

I always laugh when one asks a question like that. It's a simple question (for me, given my expertise at psychology). I can give a lecture on this, but I have to limit those answers to elementary level since I'm talking to a teen. Here it is:
Certain types of men are emotionally attracted to certain types of women, and also vice-versa. But why do they avoid each other?
The first reason is social stress. Teenage people are sometimes teased because of having friends of the opposite gender. The second reason is being shy. Many people are too shy to express their emotions. Being shy can be impacted by many things, including the first reason. The third reason is rejection. They do not want to tell the person they like that they like them, because they are afraid of being rejected, seen as a, as people your age may say, "freak."
I strongly ask you not to fall in love, as it will drive you mad and eventually lead you to chaos. Mark my words, child.
Also, I advise you not to use the word scared. Scared, afraid, etc, all refers to fear, and if you do not fully understand the concept of fear, you should not use those words. And I will not be giving a lesson on fear, mind you!
Even though I excel at emotions, I should really ask someone else to answer this question, as people like me have already restrained their emotions and I have never gone through your stage of life.

No I think boys r not scared of girls.its not fear actually but a kind of respect,more like sexual respect.cause in the teens they begin develop sexual feelings towards the opp sex,which inturn results in shyness.maybe its because both boys and girls in there teens r turned on sexually than emotionaly.so cause of the sex factor it might be hard for them to be friends.as it is clear that it is in the teen age that boys and girls start developing their genitals or sexual organs.so I would'nt  call it as fear but mutual respect.

It's not just guys. It's girls too. Things can be really awkward during the teen years. However, we have hope! One day these guys will grow up . . . And so will we girls!

I'm afraid of girls because... The only girls I've ever been with just want sex and its scary when they are all over you. I'm not scared of a girl if they just want to be friends but its when they start to give you "the look" or touch you more often is when I start freaking out.

Well Boys/guys get sick of all the rubbish that a lot of girls stir up.  I am having problems with girls at the moment and it is making me consider just not bothering with females at all because I am sick of it.  Sorry to be negitive but my guess is that is where the problem is.  I am not trying to imply that you are like this tho just trying to give you a honest answer. :)

Lol. Theres this boy in my class and he kept tapping me on the head so I went to slap him and he covered his head and started screaming. And this other boy in a different class, he went up to my friend and said I'm not scared off you she started chasing him and he ran away screaming. Boys are funny creatures!

Now I want to answer this question sensibly, there is a main reason that men will find you impossible to befriend and that is if they find you overly attractive. Now I hate to say this but you need to see the other side of the stone, if you are, let's say "less attractive than the average girl" this SHOULD make it easier for a man to be your friend as he will simply befriend you on your personality/sense of humour etc which are the things a friendship is based upon, not a relationship. The problem with this theory is the age of the gentlemen you are referring to as unfortunately "looks" play a lot in adolescents' acquaintances.
