I'm a person who uses coupons and takes advantage of any and all special offers and deals offered by restaurants, etc. I mean, why not? If they didn't want you to use coupons, they wouldn't offer them!

That being said, if I'm on a date, I pay full price and leave the coupons and gift cards in my wallet. Why? Because a lot women are turned off by that sort of frugality. I don't necessarily understand it, but it's reality. It's like baldness or bad breath or body odor. They just don't like it. As the saying goes, you have to accept what you cannot change. To go on a first date with a woman and pull out coupons and/or gift cards is insanity unless you've decided that you're not into her and are purposely trying to repel her.

I don’t disagree...i wouldn’t bring a coupon myself....but if that is a deal breaker on a 1st date...then some are living an episode of Seinfeld...i would hate to think of some mistakes i’ve made on 1st dates....i’m sure i’ve given off the wrong impression without realizing it during small talk or what have you.
