Ladies: can I use a 2-fer-1 coup when I take you to a nice dinner?
I think the people who don’t use the 2fers in the paper here have “sucker” stamped on their head, even if you’re wealthy. But I’m taking a girl out for a nice supper and I’m getting mixed results from friends. Some tell me it would be my first and only date with this girl. Others say “fuck it, use the coup and save some dough”.
She’s makes a lot of money, and likes to go to really nice restaurants. I really have no problem being thrifty and using a 2fer deal. And I’m not sure I’d be very interested in a girl who gives me heat about saving some cash. Besides, the $$$ I save on entrees will go towards the booze tab.

Use the coupon, but don't use the drive thru.

Use it, if she get's upset by common sense it's move on down the road time cuz she's an idiot.

First several dates, no. Starting to get serious, yes.
It will actually be a good test to see if you are on the same plane (sp?) with financial discipline.Gimme five, I'm still alive!
Ain't no luck, I learned to duck!

what kind of "nice restaurant" has 241 coupons??
I would use it though....I got a gift certificate from an ex once after we broke up. The certificate was to a REALLY nice steak house downtown minneapolis...I used it on a date with a different girl...she didn't know where it was from though, and it was the only way i could have afforded to take here there.
Go for it!
Now that I think about it, it wasn't a first date...use at your penis's risk!

Use the 2fer... And if you feel weird about it, maybe tell your waiter that you have the 2fer when she goes to the restroom or when you go???

Not unless there's a good story behind it.

The biggest downside I can think of is that it might seem as though you selected the restuarant on the basis of the 241 deal. If it's a great place then that problem comes off of the table.
Damn, we're in a tight spot!

I say definitely use it!
If she gets upset, rolls her eyes, or doesn't want another date, etc. then you've saved yourself a bunch of time and aggravation IMO.

Don't do it.
And I'm speaking as a woman.
Doesn't matter if she's the biggest bargain hunter in the world, she's not going to give you points for using a coupon.
We still like to be wooed and courted, no matter how much common sense we have.
I actually think you're better off going to somewhere less nice that you can afford rather than trying to upgrade with a coupon.
but that's just me.“Within this furnace of fear, my passion for life burns fiercely. I have consumed all evil. I have overcome my doubt. I am the fire.”

Alternatively, you could just put it in the folding check-holder-thing along with your credit card and she probably won't notice.

lol! Good one...
It shouldn't be a big deal, but to some women it might be, and that's okay!
But if that bothers you, then you know you have to go for a woman who doesn't consider it a big deal. On the other hand, some men do enjoy springing for the meals, etc and if that's the case no problemo there either. They belong w/ the chickies who love to be wined and dined.
I guess what I am trying to say is do what you feel is natural for you, not what you think you should do to impress the girl or what you think she wants to see. That simply takes too much energy.

fack Nani's. Last time i went there my date asked if they had asparagus in the kitchen, server said they did. Asked to throw some in her carbonara, he said, dunno, chef's really particular about his recipes, sure enough, there was none added... I'd go for the 2:1 fajitas at Piglets before i go back to Nani's.

good call on the tip...Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.
