Not everyone is made out of money. Would you rather that he take you to a fairly nice restaurant and use a coupon that cuts a $60 bill to $30, or would you rather he just spend $30 straight up by taking you to KFC?

What’s the priority here, the person you’re dating or his pocketbook?

KFC? There wouldn't be a 2nd date! LOL!

Ask me out for couple of slices of Pizza and a movie we'd both like to see and talk about afterward over desert or coffee? Now we're talking.

But you’d have a problem with him scaling the date up to a fancy bistro (still with movie & coffee after) - and not paying any more to do so?

That’s fair enough. Its just that the point we’re all making is that by using the coupon, he may well be trying to extend his finances for the date beyond what he otherwise could. It shouldn’t necessarily be taken as a slight.

Now if he drives up for the date in a $100,000 car and then tries to drop a coupon to pay a $50-$75 bill at the restaurant, yes, he’s a cheap jerk.
