Phone call from Derek, rant on Glenn, and an update on Richard

Derek called me tonight. We talked for almost an hour. He talks a lot about school and teaching, but I can relate so it's ok. Anyway...he asked me out for this Friday! And where do you think we're going? You guessed it: Cheesecake Factory! I'm going to face my ghost of Glenn head on! I have courage and I have strength. And if a certain asshole can't handle that, well more power to me!
All right, here it comes, a rant on Glenn.

Why couldn't he just tell me that he's not interested in me? I waited days, weeks for a phone call that never came. We could have been just friends or at least ended things amicably. Instead he did what he does: run and hide and avoid the issue. He's a coward and I don't need a man like that! Goodbye Glenn and good riddance!
Now, Richard.
He e-mailed and asked me to hang out sometime. We can be just friends but that's all we can be. I think he's very fickle and the way he's suddenly eager to make plans with me...well, maybe things aren't going so well with Nurse Nancy. Whatever. I'm not going to fall for him., I'l just play it cool and be friends.
More on Derek.
He's really sweet and kind of shy. But shy in a good way. And he's funny. I hope we click!
