Agreed with Carla.
Also, are you a male? Sorry to be so blunt, lol, but I'm wondering if maybe there's a connection between feeling fearful towards a male, which some dogs are (yet are fine or better with females).
The treats might not be high-value enough. I've known a LOT of finicky little dogs. IF you get something REALLY yummy and stinky - hot dogs, for example, like Carla said - that might spark his interest a little more.
How long have you had him and how well was he socialized? Did you take him to puppy classes, or the park, or anything?
About the pat, then walk away.. HOW are you touching him? Patting him on the head? Some dogs find that quite uncomfortable.
