If a guy always uses gift cards and free passes when he takes you out,?

do you feel the relationship has less value? Or that he may not value the relationship? He never pays to take you out anywhere. Just uses what ever free passes, coupons or gift cards he may have? I've been going out with him for 9 months, and have taken him out to dinner many times (not McDonalds - nice places). He has never paid to take me out anywhere. Does this seem strange? Seem cheap?

Yes. It seems very cheap.
Yes! Strange and cheap!! This guy is a loser!!
I think it means hes cheap. there may be a deeper reason, he may have issues with money or spending it. I don't know that it has anything to do with how much or little he likes you. Money some times is an issue in and of itself. I think that if you are serious about this guy you should get to the bottom of it.
no I don't place VALUE on what he spends you've been out, been fed, and hopefully been treated well mama always said "quityerbitchin" A frugal man is to be respected
cheap, but doesn't always mean he doesn't value you, just means hes extremely stingy. You could talk to him about his extreme cheapness
Seems cheap Doesn't mean the relationship has less value though Your dating a cheapskate but he could still be a loving cheapskate (:
yea dump him
Can you really blame him? The economy is rough. Besides people don't need to spend a lot of money to have a good time or have an interesting relationship. You need to stop taking him to nice places. Take him on dates that he's taken you on.
Yep that's very cheap and where do find this guy? does he have a job?
Thats reeeeaaallly cheap and tacky. If i were a guy i could NEVER pull my self to do that. lol a coupon on a date. hmm
yea he cheap u don't need a man that's ain't going 2 spend a little bit of money on u. u need 2 cut him loose
No I dont believe the relationship has less value..but he sounds like a MAJOR cheap-o!! I think you should definitely talk to him about it...a cheap man is never attractive. Its okay for you to sometimes maybe treat him out to dinner once in a while...but not EVERYTIME...thats just not right!!
A little unusual for him to have all currency in the form of gift cards, coupons, and free passes - does he have a job? Where does he get all of these extra goodies like gift cards? How old are both of you? It seems strange to me but I am not so sure I would say it is cheap. If he does not have the proper currency to take you to a nice restaurant because he does not have anything to barter with the facility then I would be kind of creeped out by it. I know of scams where lots of gift cards are obtained and I am not suggesting he is dishonest, I would drop a hint once in a while and ask him- "Wow, somebody really loves you a lot to give you all those gift cards!" or your own special way to find out the origin of them. I know around Holiday time we give the neighbor kids $100 Visa prepaid cards to use as well as birthdays because we figure they know what they want to purchase better than we do, but lately we just give paper currency because prepaid debit cards cost us actually more to activate than just giving them the cash. Is he cheap, I really don't know what level $ gift cards he has with him. I don't think at this time it is possible to go through life on just gift cards, coupons, and free passes. Your age might tell me more what is going on.
He seems to be taking you out a lot, and you're still with him after 9 months...so the relationship is going well. Being careful with money is a good point, better than spending lavishly then going downhill. If you hitch up together be careful with your money too, or he might get into the habit of depending on you. Make sure that from time to time you spend some of the money you've saved up together and splash out on something really enjoyable. Some men who show off with their generosity get a kick out of it, it doesn't mean they love you any more than your lovable stingyman does.
if he always uses gift cards and free passes that does not mean that he does not love u that just means your to good for him ,hes broke, or or he does think the relation ship is going to end because he is too cheap for a pretty girl.
