Has there been any negative experience of any kind between your dog and your boyfriend? Have you ever left your girl alone with your boyfriend? Have you had an argument in front of her? There must be something that has made her afraid of him.
Don't force your dog to go near your boyfriend. Fixing the problem will require patience and time. Tell your boyfriend not to approach the dog. Instead, he should remain still and let the dog approach him. He can gently toss some kind of small treat on the floor to attract her. If she makes any movement toward the treat or him, praise her.
Calmness from you and boyfriend are important. Loudness or sudden movement, anything unpredictable can make a dog scared.
