I'm sorry that the people who answered ahead of me are not sympathetic to you. I understand that good looks do indeed intimidate. One of my daughters is strikingly attractive, and when she was in high school, she had only a couple of dates. Many boys were interested in her but thought she was out of their league. You would be surprised (or maybe not) how many movie actresses had that experience.
It does get better. High school guys are immature (lagging about two years behind the girls of the same age emotionally) but when you get out into the world beyond, you'll find your looks are a big plus.
In the meantime, be patient. Smile at guys you might be interested in, talk to them in a casual way about sports, school, and so on. Think of it as a project. Try to make two new "guy friends" a week. Once the guys get to know you as a person, who is friendly and approachable and easy to talk to, they will be far less intimidated. Hang in there and good luck!

Senior year is almost over. Then you'll be out in the "real" world and this type of issue will not exist. In the meanwhile, why don't you focus on someone else's feelings besides yourself and you might be a little less "intimidating" to the guys around you.

lol! Get over yourself. You will soon learn that the pretty girls don't necessarily make it in the world (although of course many do!). Don't stress about it, just work on being friendly, approachable and a genuinly considerate person. Most guys will quickly overcome intimidation if a gorgeous girl is a good person who tries to accept others and make them feel at home. To be honest, I would suggest that the intimidation mor elikely comes from your attitude than your looks.

If you never talk with them or say anything friendly, they can't help but assume you wouldn't want to talk with them. Back in school, I knew a few girls who were beautiful -- not pretty -- beautiful! I would've assumed they were too arrogant to talk with me, but some of them actually sat down beside me and iniatited a conversation themselves. After that, I actually knew they had decent personalities.
I remember when one called me "handsome"; a guy never forgets a complement from a super-attractive girl. You just have to prove you're down-to-earth by talking with some guys.

Go for military or college guys. High school guys are a waste of time.

Get over yourself.
That's the best thing you can do, once you get to college, everyone is the same. High school is SO miniscule compared to the real world.

You know- I believe you.
I was that way too. I was dating college boys as a junior in high school because my peers were to shallow and stupid for me.
So just let it go, you have a few months left and its off to college.
Don't worry be happy.

Maybe its not your looks...maybe its your self centered ways.
