Would it bother you if you were on a first date with a guy and he used a coupon to pay for dinner?

I doubt it. I think that's actually smart, especially if he knew I liked the restaurant anyway.
-
It would bother me a lot. I would be wondering why am I on a date with a guy. LOL :) ++++
-
Would not bother me :)
-
No of course not, as long as i enjoyed his company and the food, why should it bother me that hes a bit strapped, or has a coupon?
-
OH MY GOD. that would be a major Cheapo Red Flag right there. my guy is kinda cheap but we go all out for fine dining...there is a time and a place for coupons and a dinner date isn't one of them *only my opinion
-
Of course not. Thriftiness is not a turn-off.
-
I couldn't pull that off on a first date, there's no way. I also don't like paying cash. I don't know why, but it just seems...Yea, I don't know why. Maybe it seems pseudo-pretentious.
-
no it wouldn't bother me.
-
Nope it wouldnt really bother me. I mean as long as he didnt expect me to pay for the meal of hte coupon had expired. But it would bother me if he used a coupon to pay for a wedding ring. Lol
-
Nope not at all, it would just show me that he works hard for his money and if able to use a coupon why not!
-
He paid for the date (didn't ask YOU to pay YOUR half)... If youu had a good time talking, had good-great food, and enjoyed each other's company, what does it really matter?
-
Hell, as a retired guy living on a fixed income, I would be grateful if a coupon paid for a cup of coffee.
-
It would not bother me at all :) At least he did pay :) Maybe he's thrifty:)
-
Not at all. Why not use one if you have one? The restaurant industry makes a huge profit, so why not pay a more reasonable price for your meal?!
-
Maybe not if he did it discreetly. But if it were obvious, I might wonder if it was a sign that he was a penny-pincher or at the very least a bit nerdy.
-
I think that it would, but I don't know why it would.
-
That better be how he got his millions.
-
Our FIRST date....I'd be very bothered.
-
Ummm, I would like to say no. But something about it does not sit well with me, for some reason. I hate to sound petty.
-
First date? of course it would. On a first date a girl wants to feel pampered and appreciated. Save your cheap ass penny flinching until AFTER you've slept together...so that's a go for the coupon for the second date;)
-
What?....she's getting dinner?:) No I would not use a coupon on a first date, because it would likely be a place that doesn't take coupons
-
Not at all. He's nice enough to take me to dinner, he can pay for it any way he likes. Now, if he turned out to be a cheap tipper, that would bother me. A lot.
-
Yeah it would. I don't know why, but it REALLY would bother me. I mean, if a guy were strapped for cash and could not take me to the nicest place in town, that is perfectly fine. The coupon would not fly with me though.
-
Yeah, that's pretty tacky. And I'm a guy.
-
No, as such an action would show a lot more about the guy and his honesty, and how he's not obsessed over superficial and pretentious image. It means he's less likely to break my heart in the long run, since he's not instilling within me some false expectations. Also it would be so cute lol.
-
No, it would not bother me. What the heck, save a few bucks.
-
yeah sure, it maskes me feel mad and really upsets me, if he want to use a coupon why he asked for a date...
-
well, i really wouldn't care
-
Yes, I totally feel so sorry for the establishment when some bozo refuses to cough up a few bucks. What the hell?!
-
I think I might find it endearing, depending on what kind of personality he had to go along with it. The only thing that might bother me is a nasty or mean personality
-
yea i think i'd be a little turned off if a guy did that on a date! it makes a girl wonder, will he be cheap when he's thinking of buying something for me?
-
if he does it in a very confident manner and not apologetic at all, i'm sure it wouldn't bother me coz he'd be able to pull it off! then it'd be kinda cute ... ;-)
-
It depends if the choice of going to that particular rest. was his choice or not. If it was ... perhaps it would bother me. But if it was my choice and he happend to have a coupon, not really.
-
I can beat that one! I was on a first date with a guy. We had picked a restaurant to meet at and everything. Then he changed all the plans because his business associate had said if we met him at HIS choice of restaurant, he'd pay our dinner bill. So, my date changed all our plans and told me "it's great because it's free". That SCREAMED cheap! I think I'd have felt better if he'd used a coupon! I mean who takes someone out for a FIRST date and gets someone else to pay? Overall, I think a coupon is okay, but probably not on a first date.
-
thats cute...
-
No, it wouldn't bother me.
-
Not at all! It will reveal to me that he's someone who doesn't waste money and that's definately a bonus with me.
-
No, I don't believe that there is anything work with that. That's my opinion. I would be ok with it.
-
That would be my kind of luck! I meet a guy I am interested in and he uses a damn coupon:):) I really know how to find them..LOL!! Great question!
-
I'm so over the "keeping up appearances" that I would compliment him on his chance to save some quarters and his courage to pull it out.
-
It depends on if I thought he was being sensible and frugal or if I thought he was only taking me to dinner BECAUSE he had the coupon.
-
Not in the first date of course. In the 5th or the 10th is OK.
-
Not at all. I think if the date was going well and it was a nice place that he was quite clever and thrifty:-)
-
that seems a little too up tight to me on a first date. That makes it seem like you arent sure if she was worth spending money on yet. It seems pretty cheap for a first date!
-
yes yes yes!!! i don't mind pay if its a problem, just don't make ti look cheap. If he used a coupon on the first date after few date he will tell me to leave without paying;p
-
No. It is just a first date.
-
That would be such a turn off, i wouldn't be calling him for a second date
-
No, its not okay, a MAN has his pride and on the first date man!!! Tat's just wrong...
-
I suppose if you were shallow and superficial it would bother you.
-
No, it wouldn't. It would mean he was willing to spend his money on me but is thrifty. That's money he now has available to spend on me someplace else.
-
Yeah. Screams "cheap" and "tacky"!!!
-
well no it would kinda be imbarrising but kinda cute at the same time but i wouldn't say anything about it because he might get imbarressed
-
On a first date it would. Thrifty can appear broke or cheap. If the guy brought it up in conversation and explained he does and why then no problem. First date doesn't look good.
