    It doesn’t make you look cheap at all! I would be flattered that you were willing to use your Christmas gift on me. lasciloandare

    Not at all! It doesn’t matter how you pay for the ticket. You’re still taking the person out on a date. What matters is how nice you are to you date. May

    Eh. You should probably pay with cash this time (for you and her). Use the gift card when you go with close friends or something. So, yes, in my perspective it does look sort of cheap(at least on the first date.) jenn.

    use it & don’t worry about what anyone thinks; if they don’t like it then maybe they’d prefer to pay for their half themselves luzbeth

    It’s fine! Just because it’s not technically out of your own pocket doesn’t mean you’re cheap. If you don’t want to, just spend your own cash and save the gift card for another time at the theaters. Don’t let them embarrass you just because of that. They’re not worth it if they’re offended by it.
    Just my opinoin though.
    Hope it helps =) Angel904

    I say use it, just don’t tell her no popcorn or whatever. That might look cheap We are all screwed

  29. Riddle me this says:
    February 24, 2010 at 10:02 am

    I sort of think it’s cheap for the first date. If it was the 2nd or 3rd date, it wouldn’t look so bad. Riddle me this

    It shouldn’t. I would go ahead and use it, they shouldn’t care. They might not even notice. Dr. Van Nostrand

    Go ahead and use it. I’d maybe drop a comment somewhere about it tho— something about how you got it, and were going to use it to take (brother, best friend, etc), but would much rather spend it on her… She’ll likely give you the ‘awwww…. thanks’ reaction and you’ll score a few points… sweeterica@att.net

    That depends on the girl. When a guy uses a gift card or a coupon on a date with me, I always feel like he’s being smart with his money and he isn’t afraid of what I might say about it. That makes me respect him more, because I know I wouldn’t want to spend a huge wad of cash on popcorn and soda and movie tickets. That stuff gets pricey-er by the MINUTE! But I’m one of those low-maintenance girls. I don’t need a lot of money to have an absolutely blast. haha, so I say it’s fine. But if she’s one of those high maintenance girls that’s used to getting diamonds and roses “just because,” she’ll probably think you’re cheap. It all depends on what kind of girl she is. I say go for it. If she actually complains, you’ll at least know not to ask her on date number two, because who wants a spoiled princess for a girlfriend?!?! BYU baby

    haha…well it depends on your relationship with that girl….or guy if you’re into that… if you two are in serious “like” then they won’t care cause they are already into you. but if they do think bad of you….ditch them anyway cause they’re stuck-up stupid-heads (PGing my language) Barbara
