Dear Queenie,
If you have a gift certificate for a meal for two at a restaurant that someone gave you or you won in a raffle, would it look cheap to use it on a date?—Bargain hunter
Dear Bargain hunter,
It might.
It would be better to save the gift certificate to use after you have taken the girl out several times and you have gotten to know each other fairly well. Then you can whip it out to use on some special occasion, like her birthday (or yours) and instead of thinking you are cheap she probably (hopefully) will think you are just financially responsible.
