The Poojer Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Is it acceptable to use living social, groupon etc, certificates on dates? You can't really hide it unless you talk to the establishment up front. I have purchased 4 or 5 over the last month or so, used one already. I am not going to plan each date around the deals, but when I see one for a restaurant that looks good, I buy them. Still learning the rules of dating after 20 years.

Chef Jim Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Go for it. Chicks dig cheap bastards. Better yet use the best 50% off coupon ever. Make her pay for her half. BTW I've been out of the dating scene for nearly 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 It's been a long time since I have dated. I would say if your objective is to look for someone who is like minded try it and see how she reacts. If she goes negative on you than it it is suggestive that you might not share the same values. I might not do it on the first date you could also simply ask her what she thinks about it before you go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I think you should frame it properly, so to speak. Call up the girl and say something like, "hey, I have one of this coupon things for so-and-so, and I thought this might be a good excuse to head over there and see if they're any good"....something like that. Frame it in advance instead of pulling that bad boy out when it's time to pay and, as Chef said, coming off like a cheap bastard. Then make sure you leave a good tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, no doubt...it would be akin to asking the girl to pay for dinner or something if you took out some coupon thing when the check arrived.

The Cincinnati Kid Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I would do like one of the other guys said and just be honest. "Would you like to go out to dinner?" "Sure," she says. "How about (insert establishment)? I have a coupon!" "That sounds great. I love using coupons...they make me feel all tingly in certain areas when I use them," she responds.

Rob's House Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 If it's a girl you've been out with a few times it shouldn't matter (unless she's a complete B word). If it's a first date I wouldn't do dinner anyway. That's what every other guy does. Take her out for drinks or something fun in the area. My favorite is to take her shopping to help me pick out something. It's money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Wait till you've closed the deal on the 3d date. Then you can start taking her to the two-for-one buffets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's money you're right about the dinner thing. imo the best first date is still the movies. its kinda hard to beat that one. after a good movie both parties feel good and are usually up for anything. here in so cal. the late night beach walk works like majic. after the movie of course. beach walk by itself... leave that one for the married.

The Poojer Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 First date we went to a wine and tapas bar in philly(no way would i use a certificate on a first date)....2nd date i did tell her in advance i had a deal certificate to a new wine bar on south street and we should check it out...best thing about it is they took the certificate that i showed them on my phone and didn't use the number, so my account still shows it as active. We went to lunch last week, just a random place we picked while walking through the time...gonna meet her tomorrow afternoon for lunch, again in her area(south jersey), I have a certificate for a place there but haven't definitely decided on the place. I am gonna call her tonite to confirm details...we'll see, its good til august. I also have one for a brunch at a place out my way, and also 2 passes to a wine trail that i have to use by end of april....that one i have no problem using. Just not sure if using them alot comes off as creepy or cheap, but she has indicated she is frugal...almost to a fault.. If it's a girl you've been out with a few times it shouldn't matter (unless she's a complete B word). If it's a first date I wouldn't do dinner anyway. That's what every other guy does. Take her out for drinks or something fun in the area. My favorite is to take her shopping to help me pick out something. It's money yes she is very hot...way hotter than I deserve! The first and most important question: Is she hot? I was kind of hoping you would chime in! Thanks! I could care less if you use a coupon or not. All that would matter is I'm spending time with a cool guy that I like. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
