How can I make male friends?

I’m a 19-year-old girl who is really shy and socially awkward around boys. I’ve never had a boyfriend or a male friend and I never hang out with guys. I don’t understand how they think or act since the only guy I can talk to is my dad. At college, I often make eye contact with boys but I don’t know if that means they’re open to hanging out with me. I don’t want to come off as annoying. When a guy tries to talk to me, I stress out and answer briefly. Whenever a boy is near, I get scared and tend to leave. I act like this because I know my personality is weird and I don’t want to miss my chances because of a bad first impression. My dad thinks guys don’t want to be my friend because I look too innocent, which might put them off. I am always treated like a little girl by everyone, even my own friends. So, how can I approach guys without seeming weird? What’s the best way to behave? What is the process of making male friends? How should an girl act?
