I think a lot of young girls don't realize that poking a guy or hinting at something more isn't going to be enough; most guys are just as self-conscious at that time as they are.
I didn't realize I was attractive until my senior year in HS after basketball ended because I never went to parties, and got "jested" with by "friends".. who now I realize were just jealous.. and spent all my time off playing basketball or watching tv when I was too sore to move. (I did all my HW and projects at school besides a few that either involved my pets or legos. If it was an essay I'd have to print I had computer classes I could do it in... otherwise I'd hand write it).
It really hit in college though and I made a lot of mistakes and hurt a lot of people I wish I hadn't.
