They can. It depends on the situation.
Both:
If he works with her he may be scared of workplace complications.
If she was the ex of a friend he may be concerned over the friend's reaction.
If he though she was 'out of his league' he might be afraid that she is just playing with his heart, or that there will be no way to keep her; leaving him heartbroken.
He might also be shy or have some sort of anxiety disorder.
You Like Him:
He might care about you, but not be attracted to you, in which he fears he will hurt your feelings.
He might be afraid of changing the current relationship.
He Likes You:
He may be afraid of you rejecting him in a harsh manner.
But usually a guy will be enthused if a girl lets him know she likes him.

No I don't think most guys do...Some guys can be shy and they might not initiate anything anyways...but it depends on if the attraction is mutual..some guys might be flattered.other guys might get cocky and arrogant...I personally would appreciate it if girls would tell me straight up about their feelings and intentions..but then again your body language should be enough to tell a guy depending on the guy.

from my experience I would get a bit scared when I like someone especially if it not under the right circumstances.
If a girl likes me I usualy think they are crazy for it like- but more flattered than anything elseI think all guys are different its easy for guys to say there not but every guy is different and resonds in there own way
I get a bit nervous with a girl that I like or when a girl likes me because in the back of my mind I'm thinking I'm going to screw it up.
Some guys do get scared but its because they are too shy to approach the girl. usually whenever a girl tells me she likes me I think its tight
yea like the other guy said I think I'm going to screw something up so its kinda hard
Men won't. Boys will.
