I have a silly question: Is it acceptable to use a coupon on a first date?
I came across that question recently while reading an article (not from personal experience thank god) and wondered what people thought of such a thing. To be honest, I would totally judge someone for whipping out their "two for one" coupon on a first date. I get that the economy isn't great and the person wants to save money, I totally get all of that, I do! I however think that a coupon is best left for another date perhaps the 4th or 5th. I'm all about saving money and wouldn't want to date someone who was up to their ears in debt, I also don't want to date someone soooooo frugal that they whip out a coupon on the first date.
That being said I suppose the person could go up to the register to pay the bill discreetly thus the dining partner would be none the wiser.
Discuss :)

Me man. Me pay for things. Me have to show off money. UGH!
WIGSF, no no no women pay too! I don't think a man would want a woman to pop out a coupon on their first date either.
Hmmm, yah, I would never take out a coupon on a first date either. And I'd think it was a little lame if he did too.
Personally though, I don't like going to places on first dates where you can even use coupons. I like going to funky little neighbourhood places. However, I have gone to Starbucks on a few first dates, and none of those worked out, so that goes to prove my point.
Side note: I also get really excited about Starbucks coupons.
I think if they did use one, to do it discreetly on the first date, although if the guy was cool, it would definitely not be a deal breaker.
No its not ok to use a coupon on the frst 3 dates at least. I think its ok to use coupons once you start feeling something solid is there (and I dont mean just the cock). After a few dates its ok to use a coupon and also its ok to ask her mom for a loan etc.
I'm ok with it, but I know others aren't for reasons they can't explain. Therefore I would never do it.
Christielli, okay where are these starbucks coupons you speak of??? And I agree, cute little one of a kind places are much better than say Kelseys LOL.
Jlee, yeah at least don't let me know you're using it :) Granted I would not be bold enough to use one....
Yrautca, ha! And yes I agree at the very least a few dates in before coupons come out!
Wiwille, I just think it's a bit tacky on the first date, after a few though it's fair game.
Definitely NOT. I mean if someone is totally caught up in the coupon it means they are not focused on the date which is more important.
I have issues with coupons, I hate how they force people to do things they normally wouldn't. Like my brother bought 10 boxes of cereal at Save on Foods just to get 10,000 points on his card. I mean, no cereal is that good, right? Apparently my sister-in-law made her way through the cereal pretty quickly though haha.
Another story: I once had a friend in Winnipeg who would go places JUST because she had a coupon. Like bad comedy clubs and shit. I had to ween myself away. But she also liked to talk about her cat over the phone so that didn't help either.
Yea I'm up early on a Saturday.
Speaking of people who go on and on, I should probably end this comment now.
No. And I will use coupons for things. But never on a first date. It's just a bad tone to set. Bad, bad idea. Even if you get away with it discreetly it will always be a bad idea. It might not be a 100% deal breaker, but it should be at least a 75-85% one . . .
NO. NEVER hahahaha
I wouldn't. But I don't think I'd mind if someone else did...I guess I find frugal quite sexy ;).
