all I'm saying is you don't get rich by being dumb about your money, you don't have to be neurotic about it but definitely sieze opportunities to get the same for less.

Being dumb about money is what you plan to do because you'll be paying for a loooot of first dates without seeing second ones or anything other than that. You just don't get it. Nothing personal... it looks like many Americans don't... A first date is not the place to "seize" financial opportunities. It's a place to "seize" that opportunity in front of you.

You get what you pay for. Coupon users seem needy. I'd put out the caution flag.

I agree. If a person is worried about how using a coupon will look, he or she can go find the waitstaff and take care of it somewhere out of sight. There are ways to use coupons without looking cheap. I like the idea of using a two-fer or similar coupon as a date suggestion too.

Don't skimp on the tip, though.

On our 5th or so date, my girlfriend whipped out a groupon. Imagine the gleeful look on my face when I realized dinner/drinks was only going to cost me 10 bucks instead of 50! After that I knew she was a keeper.
