Anybody that would think less of someone for using a coupon is shallow. They aren't even worth their weight in dog turds.

...all depends on your own finances.. if that's all you can afford as a first date...then so be it..
no need to overextend yourself in order to portray yourself as something you're not.

word... thats my sentiment. I like to be smart with my money and restaurant.com is the truth. Real nice places and real cheap, they have 80% offpromos all the time.

Not ballin whatsoever, so why front on the first date? If you're just trying to get in those jeans though, a coupon might hurt your chances.

Hell no, I wouldn't even use a $25 gift-card at Chilli's.

- I'm perplexed...

Its quite simple if you think about it. We are all ballers here on NT and care how others perceive us as we have that baller reputation to uphold.

Do whatever you're comfortable with and don't be something or someone that you're not..
I usually prefer simple and casual first dates.. But that's just my style.. I only like going to fine dinin' joints if it's with a girlfriend andnot someone I'm trying to impress..

Anyways, there are ways that you can use a coupon and not have your date know.. Eg, slipping off to use the washroom and giving your waiter/waitress the coupon(and paying the bill then and there too).. I'm not slick enough to pull that off or comfortable enough with myself to just use a coupon outright..

Whatever though.. it's not that big of a deal..

And.. if you're tight for money, make the girl pay.. just tease her about doing so ahead of time.. I've had girls pay for me plenty often and I'mdamn not ashamed about it (and it's not like I can't afford it.. I just enjoy playing around like that)..

i've done it...we were going to the movies i had the free ticket you get from AE when you try on jeans...i pulled it out and he looked me crazy...but stillused it...it was a first date to...

 

[mixednuts]

NEVER EVER.

 

[blackmagnus514]

this is ridiculous

I don't like spending money on other humans anyway, though.

 

[bonafide hustla]

if a chick stops giving you play for using a coupon at a dinner, axe her shallow @#@. crazy how society views status sometimes. its one thing to be cheap,but this is not being cheap. what is the big deal with handing the waiter a piece of paper to make the meal cheaper. thats what its there for. now ifcoupons are completely deciding where you go on a consistent basis, that may be a problem

 

[kicksaholic86]

Probably not.

 

[ajwings23]

nahhh

 

[freakydestroyer]

I don't care if you're Lauren London, I'm whipping out the coupons. What is there to be embarrassed about?? just do it nonchalantly.

Put me in that category too haha

 

[ryda421]

try not to spend too much on your "first" date.

 

[frostythepoptart]

why not i dont need to spend money to get somewhere with a chick.....

reminded me when i left some party one time and some chick complained about a dude not buying her a drink wth is that nonsense

im not saying u gotta becheap and cant treat the girl but dont be a walk over either.

 

[west2east]

Sometimes I just feel like having Jack in the Box or Applebees $2 for $20 even on first dates. The conversation is more important than the food anyway. Weshould be so into it that we almost forget where we are and eat almost nothing. In that case the place won't matter too much anyhow.

 

[dyyhard]

he's just trying to save money.....for the next date and not you ----- with a different girl.

 

[toy collector123]

Y'ALL ARE ALL SIMPS NOT USING COUPONS. LETTING THESE GIRLS TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN RUN AND RUN. SIMPING DUDES MESSING UP THE GAME. smh
