Dating With A Martini Girl

How much bad luck can a girl have in the world of romance??? Well, when you are me you can have quite a bit of it! For January 2007 I joined an internet dating site and have decided to keep a web journal of all of the men and dates. I will be brutal, honest and most of all very sarcastic so...The hilarity of it all has began come join and laugh as a Martini Girl tries to answer that age old question: Just how many frogs does a girl have to kiss to find her Prince?

Three Newest Frogs




Meet TJ the Frog -

25-year-old


Status: Never Married


No Kids


Body type: About average


Height: 5'7"

Religion: Christian / Protestant


TJ and I have been e-mailing for a week now. As of Monday I have also been talking to him on the phone. I must say it has been quite fabulous! He is quick and witty. He makes me laugh and has made some small efforts to let me know he is interested in me... and just enough attention to keep me wanting more.

Here is the downside: (I KNOW I AM A HYPOCRITE !!) But he is SHORT!!!!! Early this summer I tried dating a short guy and it just didn't work for me. I thought I could get over the short stature and small body and I couldn't. I have always dated men that look like football players.... Linebackers to be exact. So how do I get over the short stuff??? I wanted to be held by someone that makes me feel safe and protected.... not someone that can wear my jeans! I am hoping that even though he is short He has broad enough shoulders to make me feel okay with this..... because so far from what I know.... I like about him.... This actually has some chemistry! There will be a date next week.....

Meet James the Frog -
28-year-old

Status: Never Married

No Kids

Ethnicity: Latino & Caucasian

Body type: Athletic and toned

Height: 5'9"

Religion: Christian / Catholic


James and I have been e-mailing for a week and it has been nice. He has asked me out but due to my busy schedule this week it just wasn't feasible. So we have said next week there will be a date. All I have had with him is e-mails - no phone numbers exchanged and no rushing it. He seems to be very out going and LOVES his job in advertising. James moved here from California and says that Texas is his new home.

Downside: He is Catholic.....

Here is what he says about his Ideal mate: "I am also looking for someone who is honest and open and someone who places a high value on family and friends. I love people with a great sense of humor and a quick wit. Someone who is unpretentious and has priorities is also very meaningful. "



Meet Chad the Frog Pilot

29-year-old


Status:Never Married


Body type: About average


Height: 5'6"

Religion: Christian / Other



Chad and I have also been e-mailing back and forth. We spoke for the first time yesterday. he was very funny on the phone. It was a short and simple conversation but nice. It does concern me how much he travels though with work. I have heard so many horror stories about guys on the road that it makes me a bit nervous. The plan is to meet up next week for coffee..... I DO like the fact he asked to meet for the first time not in a bar!

Downside: Short..... and travels alot!

Here is what he says about his Ideal mate: "I'm not looking for the perfect woman, just the woman that is perfect for me. So what is perfect for me? Lets face it the perfect match often times is not what we think we want, but what we discover we can't live without. However, I do believe that she will: have a slim/athletic/ or average figure, be smart with a sense of humor, outgoing but not annoying, sweet/ good hearted and compassionate but not gullible, and spiritual. She would enjoy trying and discovering new things and spending time with friends, family, and yours truly. She would also enjoy her own life as I do mine. I want the best part of my day to be seeing her."



Any thoughts on which Frog should get a real date???

Just stumbled on your log with the "next blog" button.

Posting pictures of guys you "may" go on a date with is in very poor taste. This is also against most of the terms and conditions of the bigger internet dating services. You probably should come up with more unique nicknames for the potential dates also.

I tower over every single one of these guys! Yikes.

I soonersfan a blogger cop or is he just ticked because he too is short and can't get a date? *SNIFF*

Ok I hate to admit it, but soonersfan might have a point from a legality standpoint.

I don't think it's in poor taste, because I know your intentions are pure, but it might get you in trouble legally. I'd check the privacy agreements with the site you are using to be sure. Remember, blogs are not private (I have learned this the hard way) as soonersfan has so abruptly pointed out.

Now as for the guys, I don't know why women obsess over height like they do. I am 5'11 so I am not hurting in this area, but being short in stature is nothing to be ashamed of as far as I can see. Plus, not to pile on your own comment about your height, but 5'7 is still pretty tall standing next to you right? I'm not making fun, I'm just sayin...

Being Catholic may have NOTHING to do with what Frog #2 actually believes. Being Catholic is sort of like being Jewish. It MIGHT be his religiou, but more than likely, it is just his heritage and identity.

And frog # 3 may be short, but you know you ladies love a guy in uniform. And he's a flyboy...

I would generally ignore any and all descriptions about "ideal mates" because that question is flawed to begin with. There is no such thing as an ideal mate so why dream of someone that will never be? It only makes you disappointed when you meet someone who doesn't meet the expectation.

Soonerfan - I am sorry you did leave me a place to email you or comment back so I will try to do so here. I am sorry you think it is in poor taste. But trust me - that is NOT my intent!! Because apparently I pick the wrong guys onmy own I reall do want some help here. My friends read this site - in and out of State and even my Mom. It gives everyone the big picture and then make smart choices from there. I truly want to meet my soul mate.

As for the legality (I talked to Demo about this earlier today) What I amy just do is ask each guy for permission to use the pics if that is what it takes. I guess it just makes me sad that you judged this site so quickly and myself. But to each their own.

Anon - Sign your name if you have an opinion dang it!

Heather - How tall are you???? And thanks for the sweet words after "Sooner" .... I needed that laugh.

Demo - as for the "ideal mate" section.... we all have to fill out one of those for the site. And honestly they are helpful! Some guys list things that I know don't fit me so it is nice.......

- A Martini Girl

I know what you mean about tall guys, my husband is 6'5"! I am 5'6" and I have only dated a few guys in my height range but I definitely prefer guys who are at least 5'10".

 
At 12:01 AM, Blogger Heather said...

I'm 5'9 1/2... BUT I wear 2 inch heels or boots EVERYDAY. I love looking like an amazon. ;)

I understand wanting a tall guy. When I was single I never dated anyone under 6'2.

As for the pictures... What you could do is draw a picture of them and post that. Ha ha ha! Now that would be a riot.

 
At 1:54 PM, Blogger Brooklyn said...

Well so far TJ is the winner.... infact I maybe seeing him tomorrow night....

 
At 6:20 PM, Blogger coffeygirlb said...

I'd go with number one....Dude, YOU are short so 5'7 should be tall to you! You sound the most excited about him!

I just wanted to let you know there are some definite perks being married to a pilot. Flight privileges are great. Our son is a pilot and he isn't gone that much. I might be concerned about Christian - other. You might not have a choice except Protestant, Catholic or Jewish - but what is other? Also good luck in your new job.

Pilots, especially cocky military ones kick butt! :)

As for soonersfan: "You have no expectation of privacy on the internet".
