Social Dilemma: Is It Okay to Pay for A First Date Meal with A Gift Card?

Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came Bonnie, and it's about a first date. Here's her email. Hi Jaime. My name is Bonnie and I had what I thought was a major issue on a first date. I'm divorced and I'm dating again. Last weekend I went out with a guy who was also divorced, very nice , great conversationalist, and easy on the eyes. But I'm probably not going to see him again, and my friends don't understand. See, when it came time to pay for dinner, he pulled out a gift card to pay. I think that was really cheap that he would have a gift card to the restaurant we went to. Was that why he picked it? Does it mean he doesn't have money? Those things are a deal breaker for me, so I won't see him again. My friends however have told me to cut it out and go out with him again and that it wasn't a big deal that he had a gift card. I think it's a warning sign. But they still keep giving me a hard time about it. So I thought you could ask the question if other people would bail because a guy paid with a gift card for dinner? I think most women would. My friends are wrong. Thanks so much Jaime. ~ Bonnie Well, I'm definitely with Bonnie's friends. I don't see what the big deal is. Lots of us have gift cards to fantastic restaurants, and he found an opportunity to use his. I think that's fine. And everything else about him seemed nice. But I haven't dated in a long time so maybe I'm wrong. What do you think? Is she right, or do you think she's overreacting? I think the guy sounds really nice. Should she date him again or pass? Help Bonnie out here. Let me know what you think on the TRY Facebook page.
