blacklabjumper 0 #26 July 16, 2010 I'm a guy and i would never use a coupon on the first date. To me that is just being a cheap MF'r. If you ask a girl out on a date you should be able to pay for the date. Now, don't get me wrong I love to save a buck wherever i can and on future dates with the same person I would not be shy in whipping out a coupon especially if it was for an amusement park or something like that. But first date at a resturant no way! I am also a very generous tipper regardless of coupons. I tend to use coupons for shopping. I will cut the coupons out of the sunday paper and I do have my little baggie of coupons I take to do my grocery shopping. I don't think by throwing money around on a first date is going to impress the girl and if that does then she is not the girl for me. But I was raised old school and when you ask someone out you pay the frieght. Very simple. I wonder if nataly thinks clipping coupons out of the Sunday paper is sexy? If it is I am one sexy dude! I am just a little bit uncomfortable saying that. just my .02Rodriguez Brother #1626 Dudiest Skydiver #1962 DPH #-2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #28 July 16, 2010 Nothing wrong with coupons. But you don't know the other person and they don't know you. Probably best to let them get to know that you are thrifty and not cheap before you whip out the coupon organizer. Just my suggestion.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #31 July 16, 2010 It seems OK to me, but I guess it might depend on the situation. I never had much of a normal dating life though, so I don't really have any "rules" for what the first date should be like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blacklabjumper 0 #34 July 16, 2010 nothing wrong with it at all just wondering if clipping coupons was as sexy as using coupons. But yes you are right you have to like the guy and/or girl.Rodriguez Brother #1626 Dudiest Skydiver #1962 DPH #-2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I will argue that if a girl gets bent out of shape because the guy used a coupon, that is a red flag that she likes to see money thrown around needlessly."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

quade 4 #42 July 16, 2010 QuoteI 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. I love coupons! Considering the times we live in, if he's paying for it, the only proper response is gratitude.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #46 July 16, 2010 Using a coupon on a date? Many of my dates won't take coupons. However, some will give a discount if you ask up front. ""Hey, how much for the three of us?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
