Is using coupons on a date still a deal breaker in this economy?

[Anonymous]

i feel like in the past it would of been taboo or a deal breaker to use a coupon if you were with a girl you were trying to impress but in this current economy with inflation and gas surging would it still be a deal breaker if i was at mcdonalds or subway and like i have a coupon that could get us a better deal on our order?

haven't done this yet but wondering what people would think

yes coupons are deal breakers

depend on the circumstances

no coupons are ok to use these days

other please explain

when out yesterday i used a coupon when at a fast food place but noticed this cute girl by herself and pretty sure she used a coupon too maybe she'd be perfect

[NathanDavis]

you said... "trying to impress a girl"

and then you say "coupon"

the only girls who would be impressed by a coupon... will not be impressed by your one coupon...

so, this is how you actually have to do it

i know there is a lot of women who use coupons or price matching yet they'd be turned off if a guy used one when he was with them yet they use this stuff when there out shopping

[NathanDavis]

you obviously care about "impressions" and money

don't date if you're "broke" according to your own "standards"

[Asker]

not trying to impress with the coupon just trying to keep things affordable and allow for more money to be spent on other things

[NathanDavis]

I am just going by your own words...

"when trying to impress"

[Asker]

meant some people are trying to impress dates when they go out to places and buy them dinner and such

i was more thinking of using coupons during more everyday occasions like lunch or after bar snacks not an actual date

If you are worried about it, then just tell her to meet you at the park... You'll bring lunch. Then go buy the food with the coupon and eat out in the sunshine at a pick-nick table and then go for a nature walk afterwards. There are always simple solutions if you just use your brain...

[Asker]

well true , the coupons can be used quietly when at till too , the other person might not even notice if you don't mention it

[indissoluble]

She will probably brag about it to her friends about how you set up a pick-nick for her and how much fun she had and how she has such a connection with you. ha!

Not as much as going on a date to McDonald's or Subway would be

[Asker]

wasn't going to take her on a date to mcdonalds or subway , rather there common places i might go to if we were hanging out at some point but not as a date in that sense , i also have coupons for dairy queen which might be more interesting as it has ice cream

Not at all. It is being smart. Nothing wrong with that.

My aim on GAG is to help you decode dating behavior and avoid hidden red flags while still having fun 💁‍♂️

Using a coupon is not a deal breaker. Being cheap is.

If you confidently say “I’ve got a coupon, might as well save some cash,” that’s smart and attractive. If you act secretive, awkward, or make it feel stingy, that’s a turn-off.

Own it, be playful, and focus on the vibe, not the receipt.

I'd say any woman who had a problem with it isn't wife material.

🤣 It would be a date suicide.

[Asker]

not for an actual diner type date rather places we might go if we were out and say had a quick lunch like subway or mcdonalds but don't even have any coupons for full serve diner type places anyways just take out spots

[WellBye]

Keep your coupons for your single nugget runs.
