I don't want to come across as conceited or vain but the vast majority of boys who talk to me/approach me/meet me show interest in me but I have a boyfriend and as soon as I tell them they don't want to be just friends even if we got along really well Some of them just act bitter towards me, some try to pursue me even after I've told them I'm taken and some just disappear I don't understand whyyyyy Like it's so frustrating because the boys I'm "friends" with try it on with me occasionally whilst I have a boyfriend and always talk about "when you're single...." it's not like I don't get along with these boys I get along with them sooo well so why can it not just be platonic? My friends think I have a flirtatious/charming manner about me (I never flirt) it's just my character I guess but they think it's because of this boys never just want to be friends How do I fix this lmao also does anyone else have this problem

I mean... most guys that are approaching women do it because they find that person attractive... would you approach a randomer because you wanted to be friends with them? That would be strange. I would also find it weird to want to be friends with a random guy who only approached me to hit on me...
most guys that are mutual friends or whatever rather than randomers will usually get over it and be friends... unless they can't be bothered because you won't cross paths frequently
I've got plenty of female friends. If they try it on with you, they're not true friends. Besides, if a guy approaches you it's clear what he wants, so if you're not interested...he moves on, or acts like an idiot.
It's the guys who are interested in you romantically who don't want to stay as friends, which is completely acceptable. This doesn't mean that every guy doesn't want to be friends with you..

I dont think you can. Most boys will think about sleeping with you. The ones that decide its not for them are because they really want a gf and not just a female friend., So they get annoyed/ frustrated.
You arent doing anything wrong. Not all boys are like this, but especially if you are pretty, then some boys are going to find it frustrating.
yes because being friends with a woman is so emasculating.
Female acquaintances can be a great thing to have. A friendship is often not. That is why we see close platonic relationships (excluding family) between the sexes quite rarely.
The gender dynamics are simply not conducive to men having a close, rewarding platonic friendship with a woman.
