Good grief. With the last 5 or 6 years in the US, one lesson that I hope Americans learned is that frugality or looking for good deals can help your finances no matter what class you are in. I should not be labeled as cheap because I don't want to pay any more than I have to. I'm not a rich man.

And if you are why waste it when you can save it for other things.
I do this almost every time I take a girl to eat because I'm a frequent couponer. Do women find this odd/offputting or do they not care? I suspect one girl lost interest in me because I did this but maybe she just thought I was a tool.
I don't think it's weird at all. Eating out, just at an average restaurant, is getting pretty pricey these days, so if you can get a deal, why not? My SO would always rather make a meal (he's a great cook) than eat out, but sometimes it's nice to go out and be waited on and not have any prep or clean-up to deal with.
There is nothing wrong with using a coupon on a first date per se, but women are attracted to alpha males, let's face it, there is nothing "alpha male" about using a coupon on a first date.

An alpha male does whatever he wants; he doesn't need the approval of some woman to determine if his course of action is appropriate or not. If he decides coupon use would be valid, he will use a coupon.
On the first few dates, I would say no. Afterwards, yes once you have gotten to know each other better. It depends on what restaurants you have coupons for. You may get a coupon to a restaurant where your date may not like the place or the type of food that is served there. As someone else had said earlier not if a coupon sets too many restrictions on what you can eat. I would make sure that these coupons are not to places that have been cited or have food sanitation issues.

If you're in a long term relationship and the girl thinks its bad to save money using coupons then you better run quick because that b*tch is never gonna save money!

^^^^^this.
" Hey I got this gift certificate for a dinner for two at this nice restaurant downtown, I haven't been there yet. We should go and try it out this weekend"
Spin it the right way and it's not a big deal. If that's a problem to the girl, she's not worth your time anyways.
Ha! I love how insecure men who don't meet the mustard automatically blame the negativity on the female.
Using a coupon is like a second hand rose. It would be so much more romantic if you saved and splurged. Instead of nickel and diming to give off the impression you live a lifestyle you really couldn't afford without coupons. Also I don't care for the financial hit local business take for those coupons.
I am a big believer in living within your means without coupons. If you want to eat somewhere that you need a coupon to afford something has to change for you. Girl or not.
Alpha males rather spend their time earning money than saving money.
