The date should be about honest interaction and non-judgemental behavior. Using cupons is a smart thing to do, not a bad thing or a sure sign of a bum, etc. Any woman or man that gives up on a date because he/she uses cupons is a money whore.

Sure, why not, just don't use multiple stackable coupons you know what i mean.

"In this economy..."

Honestly, if you can get a meal at a percentage off, your date should look at you as if youre the smartest sumbitch in the room. After all, you can theoretically use the savings on something else...like gas for having to pick up the lobster-eating succubus.

I should have clicked "No."

I cannot remember a date where I ever used a coupon. For that matter, I cannot remember an outing with friends where a coupon was used. It just is not a good policy to look cheap.

People usually do not lay claim to dieting or penny pinching in public for good reason.

Which is why were in debt. I think the government doesn't want to use coupons to decrease the debt with China...don't want to look cheap in front of the Chinese. They always tend to bring out their expensive dinnerware.

Hey Big Spender, have you tried the bird's nest soup?

Right now everyone really ought to be a penny pincher at times. A possible deal breaker for some would be taking a gal ( or guy ) on a FIRST date to Mc Donalds or Sonic. *shakes head* if a a person has a coupon for a decent restaurant that isn't a big deal. Its hard getting out of a fast food place with out spending at the very least 20 bucks for 2 people. So saving a few bucks on a decent meal then *shrugs* it wouldn't bother me.

I would be very disappointed if some guy talked about taking me on a "date" and took me to a fast food place.

Why not? Unless you are "purchasing" your date with a coupon.

Of course it's OK but If my date would use a coupon it would be a little turn off.

Sure, I don't have a money problem. I guess I think saving money is a turn off because I never did/do it.

Saving money is a turnoff? That saved money could go towards buying a gift for you

Hmm I don't know why but saving money can be a little turn off.

reply
Bigbrow... to Say_wut... 2012/05/15 21:27:45

Why would that turn you off? Do you think how much he pays for your meal matters, even if you got the same thing in the end?

reply
Say_wut... to Bigbrow... 2012/05/15 22:46:22

I don't know, just saving money can be a little turn off.

reply
Bigbrow... to Say_wut... 2012/05/16 00:44:41

In the end, saving money can lead to making even more money, but that isn't something I immediately think of...

reply

Hmm look people are different, I think it's a turn off, you don't. Let's just leave it at that.

but for heaven's sake don't feel ashamed about it. That should be included in the invitation, like: "Hey I have a coupon for dairy queen, you wanna go?" You know, be yourself. . .

Eh, it kinda depends. If you are having a hard time with money but you really wanted to ask the girl out. That's OK. It's not OK if you have plenty of money, but are being a cheapskate.

well that depends on how well you have money and if you really want to take this girl out

Using a coupon will tell you real fast if the girl is a Gold Digger or not. If she thanks you for taking her out, and doesn't mind that fact you used a coupon to save a little... she's a keeper... If she says something about you being "cheap".. she is a digger and it's a good thing you saved a few bucks - as the ones you spent were wasted anyway.

Know your budget. If you can't afford it....don't go to it. Simple. If your going to some place you can't afford and your using a coupon....yeah that screams cheapskate.

Linnster to Artisan... 2012/05/17 03:32:00

If your date is struggling financially, then he can take you to a less expensive restaurant - especially on a first date. If you really like the guy after that, it won't matter whether or not he uses a coupon. He doesn't have to impress a gal the first time out if he can't actually afford to and if a woman is not a gold digger, she won't mind going to a less expensive restaurant.

reply
Artisan... to Linnster 2012/05/17 19:59:48

I don't have to be a gold digger to want to go to a nice restaurant every once in a while, and I don't care whether my date uses a coupon or not. I'm not paying for it, I'm the grateful receiver, and if my date wants to use a coupon to save money, he can use it, I have nothing against that.

reply
Linnster to Artisan... 2012/05/17 22:15:37

You are certainly entitled to your opinion and, if you don't mind, so am I. The question was asked and I replied. My preference is to have a man take me to a restaurant he can afford without using a coupon. If that's Burger King, I don't have an issue with that. Clearly you don't agree. I'm not saying you're way of thinking is wrong.

I can't imagine why not, however, haggling over the amount of the check is uncool.
