The idea is that you never hold yourself in high regard when you refer to yourself when speaking to others. Watashi is a general word so it's okay. However in rare occurrences some women do use "watakushi" or "atashi" (the usual examples are in animation) but the former are generally for people that sound arrogant about themselves.

What are the different Japanese forms of I and what are the differences between them?

There are several forms, and even more if you venture into non-standard dialects. However, three forms that one learns early on are 'watakushi,' 'watashi,' and 'boku.' 'Watakushi' is a formal expression for "I." 'Watashi' is one for everyday use. It is polite and appropriate in nearly all cases, but is a touch feminine. Thus, guys can typically use 'boku' instead of 'watashi.'

What does boku no inu desu mean?

In colloquial Japanese 'boku' means 'I', so this sentence it would mean, "I don't like you". However for 'boku' to be combined with 'suki ja nai' i.e. I don't like, is odd. It would read, 'Watashi' another personal pronoun for 'I' in Japanese.
