whenever i am introduced to a new guy or meet a new guy they are always really weird around me, like they stand a few feet back and don't really make eye contact with me. the guy friends i have now say before i met them i came off intimidating. i don't see why, really. i'm not really loud and obnoxious or anything. and i'm 5'4'' (i guess that's like an average height) and i'm not huge so it doesn't look like i can beat up someone. whenever i meet them i'm always pretty friendly and smiling and stuff...what's the deal?
Keep being pretty, friendly, and smiling. Guys like that kind of attention, but maybe these guys are too young to know how to react to it yet. But if you are who you say you are, dont change. Guys like girls who show them attention and dont shy away, it makes us feel better. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

He meant you intimidate them by your looks. Guys are afraid to approach some girls that they think will reject them on an instant. They don't want to be rejected by you so they think avoiding you and being intimadated will just save them the trouble of rejection.
You could be gorgeous and guys will just be intimidated. It's not anything you're doing, like being obnoxious or even loud, but if that's how you look, they'll just be intimidated. That happens with me all the time. I'm the total opposite of being loud, and obnoxious, and I'm always friendly and even sometimes shy, but from how I look some guys get intimidated and don't approach me.

MzJENNiFER answered Wednesday July 11 2007, 7:29 pm: Hmm. Well, what can be intimidating is being too perky. Try to be regular around guys. Most of them like girls that are relaxed around them and not all nervous and shy. Don't try to be to normal but more like in between. Confusing, ehh. But what you must remember is NEVER to change for a boy. If you want to, that's another thing. If a guy likes you, he should like you for you, not who you pretend to be.
