In a recent New York Post article, Carrie Siem cites a group of successful female friends who, surprisingly, won't turn their nose up at a guy just because he uses a coupon on the first date. Read the full article. The women say it's "recession chic". The men say it shows fiscal responsibility in the long run. Bargain sites are also meccas for adrenaline junkies looking for inspiration on activities that wouldn't otherwise come to mind. This article does have a point - who doesn't love a little more bang for their buck in their love life? (Get your mind out of the gutter girls and boys!)However, it's still the general consensus in most cities (and among most women) that coupons kill the mood! We have a point too - who doesn't like to be wined and dined like they're worth every penny of it?
You shouldn't have to tap into your life savings for a first date, but you don't want to make your date feel, well, cheap. Where do you stand?
