How do you bring up the sensitive subject, e.g. bad breath when dating?

I can deal with the very rare occasional bad breath. No problem.
But how do I tell my date that he has bad breath all the time without hurting his feeling? (other than offering him breath saver?)

Pull a “Juno” and shove a hundred things of tic tacs in his mailbox.

I had a girlfriend that had to use Crest Strips. I wanted to say something but suddenly she started using them, so maybe she got the “body language” hints?

I would actually just come out and say it. If they got offended, I would say that i would expect them to tell me if there was something offputting about me that i may not know about and i dont go in for all that extra polite crap. If it’s an issue,get it sorted.

Tell him that one of your exes always had bad breath and you hated it. This should subconciously make him more aware of his own oral hygiene, especially if he really likes you. Other than that you could always get a friend to talk to him (a friend he doesn’t know) and get her to say something like ‘sorry but you have terrible breath’

Eeewwwww…..Guess you should tell him in a polite way that his breath stinks…If that is even possible…or I suppose you could hold your breath when he gets too close….

Ask him dear did you eat fish egg today he`ll know that you are commenting on his breath

If you really like this guy-just come out and be honest:)
Maybe he has a bad tooth or doesn’t use mouthwash?

I HEAR YA!!
Man, one of my best friends breath smells like she’s been licking her own asss………seriously. I always offer her a mint and she “refuses” them!!! YIKES!!!!
May be just say, “I really love being with you, but your breath is in real need of some care”?? I think breath is something a couple should beable to talk about. Even if their having a bad day of body odor they need to be told. Things like this is what is hard to tell strangers.

I went on 3 dates with someone like this and I just had to break it off. It was such a turn off!

I have been there and done that. No you don’t want to hurt their feelings but something has to give. You just tell them in a nice way. It’s going to hurt but they will thank you in the long run. I told this guy his breath stink and he said he knew that that is why he kept mints and gum all of time. Bad breath can ruin a relationship for me.

I admit, I have this problem.
I tried all kinds of different things.
The source turned out to be stomach acid.
(not mouth bacteria, not gum disease, not lung or sinus infections. . . )
I now take an acid blocker, zantac, every day, in the morning. It works really well. I stopped taking it and it came back. So GERD. Did it hurt my feelings when I was TOLD? Hell no!
If you like him, otherwise, then tell him to go see a doctor, and get his problem fixed. If he’s unaware of the problem, and does what you ask, he’s a keeper!
