skymama 37 #1 July 16, 2010 I saw this questioned asked in a magazine. I'm not referring to established relationships, I'm talking specifically about first dates. Would you be offended if your date whipped out a coupon? Would it weigh in your decision to go out with that person again? For me, a guy would earn brownie points for being a smart consumer.

But if he is using coupons on items or activities then you will be able to do more things.

lost_n_confuzd 0 #5 July 16, 2010 Depends, half off at the cinema, or buy one get one free at six flags.....that's cool, right? However, I would never use penny pincher coupons on a first date. You know, like Subway. That's lame. Edit: I'm a dude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should go in the restroom and take care of that" and then take out the coupon when she leaves. Brilliant!

NWFlyer 2 #18 July 16, 2010 My former neighbors in Seattle - an awesome middle-aged gay couple - met through an online dating service. The guy who set the date said that he always had his dates meet him at a suburban Denny's for the first date - that way he could weed out the snobby, pretentious ones early on. He knew his partner had potential when he didn't even blink at the suggestion. I'd say it's cool, but then again, I'm not someone who would judge a first date based on how much we spend; and I'm also someone who loves a good bargain.

sickandtwisted 0 #19 July 16, 2010 I do not have a problem with coupons. However, I would not use them on a first date. It is ok as a topic of discussion. That way you get a feel for how the other party feels about their use on future dates.Skymama stalker #69!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slight of hand is a good thing. Tell her..."Hey look at the boobs on that chick over there" then slip it in with the CC and snap it shut. Then say..."Yeah, those boobs are no where as nice as yours!"

popsjumper 2 #22 July 16, 2010 If she had a coupon and didn't whip it out, I'd be....well, disappointed. How disappointed would be determined later on that night/day. Say! That reminds me!!!!! I have a coupon for a free blow job!. Hmmmm...I wonder if she's still around. Oh never mind....she's as old as I am by now. My reality and yours are quite different.

billvon 2,990 #23 July 16, 2010 Sure. I use coupons/cards etc all the time. (I would on a first date as well, although I don't have many of them any more.) I have a company card that gets me good deals on a lot of local restaurants, and I always seem to end up with gift cards to On the Border, Tio Leo's etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
