Say you're going out with a girl you just met for the first time, or a guy if you swing that way really the gender doesn't matter much, but you had just met recently. You're taking them to a 3-star restaurant, so not too expensive or pricey. But you use a coupon to make the bill a little cheaper, or something else that lowers the cost of the meal.
Do you think it's bad to use a coupon on a first date with someone?
I say it isn't, if it's a first date, nothing's set in stone yet. You could be spending upwards of hundreds of dollars to go on one date that doesn't plan out. For first dates, I think it's perfectly okay to get it as discounted as possible. Later on though, if it starts to turn into something serious, that's when you don't use them.

Using a coupon on the first date is tacky, and it can sabotage your attempt to put the best foot forward. People generally use coupons as they become more familiar with each other, not when they're less familiar. And you shouldn't be spending hundreds of dollars at a three-star restaurant.

Depends. "Buy 1 entree, get one free"? No. Don't do that. A groupon for hang-gliding? Go for it.

I've seen this thread before...

There's nothing really "wrong" with it, but it does make you look a little cheap. If you really don't have the cash to pay, then I guess it's perfectly fine.

Nope.

Yes. It makes you seem cheap.

It would leave a poor first impression of your financial status. +++Translate to Jive+++ It show yo fool ain't got no dolla

Hmm, my first answer was yes because it looks cheap but thinking more about it... nah, i wouldn't mind if my boyfriend had done that, at least that way he would have paid for SOME of the damn meal...
