Where have all the men gone?

I've begun to notice a relationship trend recently in society, that really has me puzzled. More and more I see that guys are stepping back into the shadows and forcing girls to adopt a more aggressive role. Now, I'm not completely for traditional gender roles being the only thing allowed, but this is one that I do agree with. I definitely think that men are supposed to be the more aggressive person in a relationship. Honestly, the last thing I would ever want is a man who I could walk all over. I don't understand why in today's society, men are finding it so hard to walk up to a girl and tell them they think she's cute, or want to take her out, or want to be her boyfriend. I know that rejection is hard to take, but seriously, I know so many guys who are single, because they are "too shy" to approach a girl. Are you kidding me? When you finally get to date a girl and eventually fall in love, are you going to be "too shy" to ask her to marry you? Are you going to make her do that too? If you're hanging out with a girl a lot and kissing her you should be man enough to tell her where you're headed with that, not leave it up to her to ask you whats going on. If there's a girl you want to get to know better in order to eventually date her, you should be able to tell her that too! I think its ridiculous that so many men I know are incapable of these things. Personally, I and most girls I know don't want to wear the pants in the relationship, so men, you better step up and get your act together!
