American Idol asked:

I have a coupon for this Mexican Restaurant where you buy one dinner entre and get a second one free.

Is it wrong to use that coupon on the first date even if you’re broke and you really need to use it.

Should I act like I’m going to the bathroom and then slip the coupon to the waiter?

OK, let me explain before you clobber me. There are several situations that come to my mind.

Let’s say I want to take this lady to a particular nice restaurant because I think she’ll like it. I’m willing and able to pay whatever it costs to do this. But if I have a coupon, why should I not use it? If it’s because I need to show that I’m not cheap, or poor, suppose I use the coupon saving me $5 and then burn a 5 $ bill. Same thing as paying full price?

Let’s say I want to take this lady to an extremely nice restaurant because I think she’ll like it. But on most days it’s way outside of my budget. Suppose the nice place has an early bird special with a restricted menu on Tuesdays that I could afford. Should I just take her to an inferior place instead? Take her to the early bird special and tell her she needs to stick to the restricted menu? That sounds cheap, even to me, but remember – otherwise it’s pizza.

Or save a few bucks and maybe then I can afford the special desert.

Kitkat asked:

He would told you: “either I don’t use the coupon and the restaurant owner put $10 in his pocket because I didn’t use the coupon, or either I use the coupon and I put $10 in your pocket instead”. What would you prefer?
Miss UK, you can’t have $10 in cash while he don’t use the coupon. It’s both at same time or else no cash and no coupon.
A, I asked this question because many women don’t like that a man use a coupon on a first date.
