Awkward

I have always been a great television buff. May it be local series or international ones, I latch on to the story and do not let go till it has finished. A week back, my sister nagged me to death to watch a new series, 'Awkward'. 
It is a show aired by MTV network. The story might sound a bit cliched, however, it can be related to very easily. The story is about a girl who is not so high on the social ladder, in high school.  It starts from an accident the girl is in, and how the story of the accident gets distorted. This leads to the girl coming in the lime light more than she can ever imagine. 
Even before the accident, she was pining over the popular guy. It is surprising how the guy also likes her back, however, he is not ready to make his affections public!!!!! Surprise, Surprise. This might sound a bit generalized, but aren't all guys the same in this manner. Even thought girls are thought to be the shy and timid gender, it is the guys who don't like to be open with their feelings. 
Well anyway, the whole of first season is spent by the girl trying to get the guy she likes, to acknowledge her in public. Isn't that what we all want? it is simple really, us girls really want recognition and acceptance. There are not many, in fact there is not a girl out there who would like to keep their relationship under wraps. 
The society continuously blames the female gender for being insecure. Well I a am great believer of the law of science 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction'. Men are not aware of this law being applicable to areas such as practical life in reference to other human beings. 
Over the times, women have learned to keep what they feel under tight wraps. This is just to spare the men of the many different and incoherent thought which run through our minds daily. Men seem to take offense to this. They also seem to take offense to women who do share what they are thinking, with great clarity, with them. 
So, who is the confused gender here? The men, or the women? 
Insecurities are a normal emotion in human beings. My choice of word is 'human beings' and not men or women. This is because being scared and not feeling up to the par is a feeling which every human being has felt one time or the other. The individuals who have all the confidence in themselves are surely the blessed ones among us. 
No one likes to be fed the line 'I like you and want to be with you. BUT, I don't want others to know'. Whats the whole point of being in a relationship when you can't hang out in public? Isn't that another way of saying 'You are my booty call'? Or isn't that the equivalent of being the 'Mistress'? Or isn't that the same as saying 'I am ashamed to be seen with you'.
The first thought to go through a person's mind who is on the receiving end of the line would surely suffer from different insecurities. No girl likes to be the secret in the closet. In a world where the gays and lesbians are allowed to come out of the closet with no persecution, why should relationships be kept in the closet?
Every girl deserves to be treated nicely, contrary to the popular belief, being treated like a princess is not what is needed or asked for. Just a simple show of affection and appreciation is enough to make any girl blush with happiness.
