Am I crazy for this bothering me? Nice date and he pays. He uses a metallic card which caught my eye because it had shiny eye-catching flowers on it. I say that's a really pretty card, even the waitress noted it's a pretty card. I think he was embarrassed by us calling it pretty, because it's sort of feminine? Instead of admitting he ordered it, his face turned a little red and he says it's just the replacement version they sent them. I don't know if the feminine card bothered me or just his lack of agency. Whatever the case it's been bothering me all week.

You are not crazy for letting this bother you.

You are emotionally very immature and should be dating until you become more of an adult.

Making fun of a man (or, in the case of your target market, a boy) for having something that you perceive as "feminine" should have been left behind in grammar school.

Where was the man made fun of?

Who cares, that’s what they sent him. Bfd.

Did you really make a petty comment or roll your eyes at his Amex credit card design?

Troll. Or maybe you’re aspergers and can’t not be fixated on some stereotype you have of gender specific credit cards and how they got distributed.

He might not have been embarrassed about the card just the extra attention all at the same time, sometimes when people are bashful too much at once will shut them down and they’ll say anything to move the conversation along.
It’s not about his masculinity, it’s not about not owning the situation it’s just about too much attention at once, more of a processing issue.

Next you will get the ick from the way he twirls his spaghetti or fall towel, so please, if he happens to ask you out again politely decline and spare him the misery.

My spouse selected that one. Usually he doesn’t notice or select anything. So they send whatever they have to get rid of.

Is this a Seinfeld episode?

It’s just a couple of flowers!

Maybe your asinine attitude gives him the ICK.

Does for me.

You don't deserve this guy. Anyone carrying this card is making bank.

PP, oh gosh, yeah, that's just weird looking for a card. But you said he said it's a temp one, so he can change it.

On a more serious note, why is a man paying with plastic when he could be using cash. Flashing Bennies is better than some plastic.
As the old one liner goes, "Do you take plastic?"....."Only if it is wrapped in cash!"

Cash is gross. Anyone with sense and cents knows that Amex comes with far better benefits.

Ok Mr. IRS man.

I knew I recognized those flowers from somewhere. It's the Obama portrait artist.
