No, not a rude question. Dogs usually sense when people don't want to be near them, but if you are doing it out of fear that's a different story.
Something that you could try to do is appear very confident, hold your head high, body upright but most importantly relax--smile if you can. Also do not look at the dog, don't talk or touch them. Keep your head turned and or back towards them. Dogs can smell fear because our bodies let off a certain hormonal scent that we can't smell, but they also read body language very well.
Some people have a certain anxiety about dogs--some due to past experience, and some for no known reason, so you are not alone. Perhaps working with a counselor could help you overcome that. Not that you have to like dogs, but if you are not afraid, the dog will have a different reaction to you.
