Guys confuse my intentions.

[cheldy]

I've had a problem in the past few years, I'm attracted only to girls(no one in real life knows though), and each time I try to become friends with a guy, they think I am flirting with them, or they try to flirt with me.
It's becoming very annoying, I hate it as when I was little I used to have guy friends with whom I got along better than girls, but now that I changed schools we lost contact.
I am in a class with lots of "popular" kids, and I hate most of them. There are 3 guys that seem all right though, but each time I tried talking to them was a failure.
Why does every guy think that a girl that talks to them has a crush on them? Ugh, this is frustrating.

Is there anything I can do to change this? It's happened already with 10 guys so far, and not only from school.

Sadly, this is life, and life is not easy to change. Because you are female, you can not stop men from being wooed by you when you speak to them. It's the curse of their own ways, to be throw overboard by a few simple words out of a girls mouth, and it is the curse of our ways to be the ones doing the throwing.

Perhaps you should try to change how you talk to them? Reassess your way of sparking up the conversations and switch them around.

tell 'em you aren't interested in them in that way, but you could help them meet your friends that are girls. keep making the group bigger...

That happens to me with girls.. oh wait I'm stupidly camp..
Seriously though, it's the way. It's exactly the same with an attractive guy friend of mine (he's gay, but nobody knows but me.) - he's really fit and all the girls just throw themselves at him. There's not a lot you can do really, if the way you talk to people seems naturally flirty then it would be difficult to change; maybe telling those specific guys that you're not interested might be a good idea.
