The costs associated with dating can get expensive very fast. I think most of us can agree that finding ways to date without breaking the bank is a smart move. Why does it become a problem when some people decide to use coupons, apps, or special deals to pay for dates?

If you were on a date and they pulled out a coupon to get a discount, would you be annoyed, embarrassed, or pleased and impressed? I know a lot of women who would be upset, especially if it was a first date!

Do you believe that you could tell the difference between dating someone frugal versus someone who is cheap? How would you know if they were broke?
