Do you see the female flowers? The ones that look like little cucumbers?
If the bloom is just a straight thin stem that’s the male.

Squash put out both male and female flowers. There are multiple male flowers that might bloom before a female flower is produced. You may have a lack of pollenators & need to hand pollenate with a q-tip or paint brush by gathering pollen from the male flowers & rub it gently onto the inside of the female flower.
