would i look cheap if i did this?

[aUt0eXebat]

I just got a $30 gift card for the olive garden..... i dont remember why i did either.

But would i look cheap to the girl im taking out tongiht if i used it?

 

[frizzlefry]

ummm yeah if it's a first date. if you've known her for a while then no.

but you wouldn't 'like' cheap. you would look it

 

[CuriousAndy]

what's the diff.? you paying either way, she's eatin for free

any down-to-earth girl would appreciate you.. if you think she thinks you're cheap because of stupid GC.. she doesn't deserve you

Depends. If you put it more like "Hey, I got this gift certificate for the Olive Garden, want to go?" as opposed to taking her and paying there with it, you'll be better off.

 

[yakko]

<< would i like cheap if i did this? >>

I don't know. Would you like cheap?

 

[Sugadaddy]

I wouldn't use it on a first date, but the "Hey, I got this gift certificate for the Olive Garden, want to go?" idea is OK.

 

[aUt0eXebat]

oops i ment look.....

well its not the first date, the second, and its the first time taking her out to eat.

i wouldnt be dumb enough to say, hey i got a free GC in the mail, want to go out to eat?

i think ill save it for awhile, im not sure

haha agreed

 

[frizzlefry]

well if you're low on cash, then use it. don't worry about her though. a girl wouldn't exaclty consider you cheap. maybe she'll think you're smart. BTW how old is she, and you?

and mOoGotMilk How many down to earth girls do you know? most of the girls I dated were maintenance types. you gotta take them to nice places to get some play

 

[GrassClipper]

Yeah, I would just hang onto it for a while, better to be safe than sorry.

 

[Fearlss1]

I agree, I wouldnt use it quite yet.. Hold off.
Just one day when your talking to her be like" HEy I got this GC in the mail to Olive Garden, would you like to go with me... ANy chick that doesnt like Olive garden is not worth your time..
hehehe

hahha youngins

yeah she's not at the age where she would appreciate a fine restaurant. I made that mistake when I was your age. I'd say go for the GC. unless you would lose your chances of some fun....

 

[aUt0eXebat]

id rather goto ruby tuesdays anyways tongiht and just pay

last night at the movies, expensive ones, i paid for both of us, first date, and she got all huggy when i paid, guess she never had a guy do that for her or somthin,,,,,,

 

[Beowulf]

Use it but don't do it infront of her.If you are worried that she will think cheap of you then she isn't worth it unless she has a great rack.

 

[habib89]

don't use it on the first date.. of course you shouldn't be going to olive garden on a first date.. unless your'e in high school.. then that's ok... but anyway.. don't do it on a first date.. but then you can do the "hey i have this gc for olive garden............." idea.. that's ok if they know in advance

 

[stingbandel]

I wouldn't do it on a first date. Maybe for the second date...

[MeanMeosh]

na, you already look cheap...

seriously, though, dont it its the first dinner date

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

it's always better to use your credit/debit card or cash. Checks look stupid. If you use cash, you look like you've got a load. If you use credit/debit, you look like you should have been named "Rico Suave" when you were born.

 

[veryape]

It does come off making you look cheap but I think i'd do it. Who gives a crap what she thinks? If she doesn't like it tell her next time you'll just go dutch as not to offend her.

 

[Miramonti]

I say wait til later when its more of a convenience but you'd be a real cheapy if you used it now. Once you put some money out then you're safe tho.

 

[perry]

Take your mom out to eat. She'll appreciate it more than some girl you're on the second date with.

 

[Looney]

Go with the approach datalink7 says: "Hey, I got this gift certificate for the Olive Garden, want to go?"

 

[fatalbert]

Go for it. If she can't appreciate saving money tell her you did it so you could buy her jewelry. She can't think you are cheap then. Of course she might then expect some. But that is your decision.

 

[Emulex]

dude you need to be flashing the platinum visa/amex on the first date. Save the GC after you get the coochie..
