The Mirror Martini

By: Marjie Martini

Have you ever heard the phrase mirror image? Well a few weeks ago my girlfriend got a harsh blast of reality that turned out to be the mirror of what was going on with her! It is interesting in how life presents our lessons. The best thing about this lesson is that it was discovered during the evening when we were introduced to the amazing Mirror martini.

A few weeks ago I got a call from my girlfriend who was all bummed out because she had just dumped her latest and greatest date! This called for an emergency martini gathering at our favorite comfy lounge. When a woman has dumped or been dumped it is very important to medicate quickly and martinis are the perfect prescription.

When I arrived she was already half way through her martini. I was instantly attracted to this gorgeous martini with a sugar rimmed and floating raspberries. Upon inquiring I was informed that it was the Mirror Martini an intriguing blend of Sourz Raspberry Liquor, Vanilla Vodka and Triple Sec with just a hint of vanilla and lemon. Wow! The sweetness of the vanilla with the sour of raspberry made this martini definitely reorder able. The Mirror was just what we needed!

During our first martini she briefed me on the guy. For several weeks she had been dating this amazing man, I have to say man because he was 39 years old, divorced and on his way to being bald. Considering that she usually dated boys I was beginning to wonder if we really were aging? She had really started to like him; they laughed and had a great time together. He was very attractive and romantic with the added bonus of experienced sexual maneuvers plus the sex drive of a 25 year old. She was beginning to sell me on dating older men, the baldness is a definite drag but it is usually dark during sex! I was curious to why she had dumped him, if he seemed so great?

When our second martini arrived the story unfolded about why my girlfriend had to end it with her latest and greatest date! Everything had been going along fabulously until a few nights ago when

“he dropped the “I have to be honest with you” bomb!”

This was when he confessed that he was waiting for another woman. It seemed that he was conflicted(a man who is confused I never would have believed it!) between having an amazing time dating my girlfriend and not wanting to jeopardize a relationship that he had been developing over the past year with a married woman. He confessed that he had been waiting for this woman to leave her marriage and that it was very complicated. My girlfriend could not believe her ears! How could this great man be stuck in a holding pattern? He had left an unhappy 10 year marriage to turn around a wait a year for a woman who obviously was not going to leave her marriage. She did not have the heart to tell him what we both knew about women. That if a woman wants to be with a man bad enough, she will make it happen! If this woman had not made a move in a year, she wasn’t going to! She was using him as her back door! (A back door is when you use a person to fill a void in your life but you have no intention of changing your safe status.)

My girlfriend was totally disappointed! Even though she really liked this guy, she had decided to dump him. She was way to smart to play second fiddle to a married woman! That would have been a heartbreak disaster waiting to happen! What she was really pissed about was that it was bad enough that single woman had to compete with other single woman but now it seems we have to compete with married woman as well! What kind of shit was that! After, our second martini we joked that we should go spank the bitch because Damn it, she already had one man! Leave the single men alone!

What totally perplexed both of us was why had she attracted this man in a holding pattern into her life? After, another Mirror martini we finally found the answer! It seemed my girlfriend had neglected to inform me about a little conversation she had a few weeks ago with her long time, on again, off again EX! They had discussed getting back together again. I pointed out to her that after she had this conversation she had indeed put herself into a holding pattern while they decided if they wanted to try again. She had attracted into her life exactly what she was putting out! This guy was a mirror image of what she had going on in her life! I told her once she finally got over the dream of working it out with the Ex and let it go, then she would be able to find a guy that was truly into her and did not come with the baggage of an ex wife, kids and a married girlfriend plus I was certain that he would be great in bed and have a full head of hair!

Conclusion:

As we strolled home I realized that the flavor of vanilla from the Mirror martini was sweet like the epitome of why my girlfriend had attracted into her life a man in a holding pattern. The slight sourness of the raspberry was similar to the ego sting for losing out to a married woman. However, what did she really lose? A man who is stuck and does not want to move forward? A man with no hair? Really she did not lose anything but she gained a great lesson about how not to go back into a holding pattern and truly move forward in her life. Besides, she could always go back to dating boys! They may not have the sexual experience of an older man but they generally have enthusiasm can be schooled! Plus, they have hair! It seems that we are younger then we think!
