Where have all the real men gone?

I will admit that I have a slight crush on a guy that I've known for a few months now. We went out on a date, and have been keeping up on email, but by the way he was writing his emails, it seemed as though he didn't like me. I am completely easy-going, and if he didn't have feelings for me, that's perfectly fine, no skin off my nose. Friday night, I talk to his friend who brings up a conversation about him out of the blue. I told him I didn't think anything was going to happen with us, and he said that I "shouldn't give up hope" because he does like me but is intimidated by me.
It is so funny because it seems that every guy that I have had some interest in has been so intimidated by me that they act like a deer in headlights around me, and then stop talking to me altoghether, like I was on the prowl, and about to attack! I've found it funny for awhile, but it does get tiring after awhile. I've thought a hundred times what could possibly be so intimidating about me...my flirtatious/joking nature, my independent strong side...it is so confusing.

I think my biggest pet peeve is that men are just not men anymore. Maybe it is just a "John Eldridge" society that I am circling, where men need to cry every 2 seconds, but it just seems that there are no manly men left on this earth. Could it possibly be that they took the woman's movement in the 60's so seriously that they think a woman should make all the moves? Could you imagine a society in where the women become men, and men become women? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO!!!
Someday I would really like to meet a man who would "be a man" and if they wanted to date me, actually ask for my phone number, take me out to dinner, and be a complete gentleman about it, without me having to show any interest at all. I guess I need to travel back in time to the 50's, where men were men, and treated ladies with respect. *sigh*
I was told long ago, that if you showed any interest in a man, then he would lose interest in you fast. How can you practice this if they won't make a move!!
Why do men have to be so intimidated by beautiful women, that they won't even dare to come close to her all night, but will be perfectly fine around a semi-pretty girl? Is it the fear of rejection that controls thier every moment in life???
I guess there will never be a resolution, so I will close for now, but I'm telling you now, this isn't the last you'll hear from me about this!!! *enter evil laugh* I'll keep you posted.
