How do you tell a friend (girl) that her breath is really bad without offending her?

She’s a very nice person, but very sensible and I know that she’s very prone to get this wrong. What would you suggest, I guess I just don’t have the guts to tell her up front.

signup for a new email address like hotmail.com, and send her an email saying that her breath smells. she most likely will not know it was you.

Trust she will be grateful and really pissed if you don’t tell her. It does take a little courage but the outcome will be worth it.

Trust me, there is no way to bring this up without embarrassing her.
Just tell her the truth… And then tell her you just don’t want her to be embarrassed in front of others.
Make sure she knows you are just looking out for her. It might ease the awkwardness.

This is a toughie. I would suggest buying her mints, telling her that they are your favorite, and you thought she’d like them.
Also, there is a nifty little online option for sending an ANONYMOUS email to someone to tell them that they have bad breath.

I also think it’s very sweet of you to ask a question here on Yahoo Answers, most guys would be ignorant and write the girl off for having bad breath.
Good luck to you!

write a letter saying “brush 3x a day by anonymous” and leave it off somewhere that she could find, her locker for example,.

take out a pack of mints when she is around and take one for yourself. then offer her one. but u have to have one yourself so it doesnt look like u took them out just for her and look casual.

1) … … … … … … …
- hey babe are you okay?
- Yes, but why’d you ask?
- Well… for past 2/3 days I have been noticing a bit of smell from your mouth. and you look kinda pale too (lie!!) I didnt say anything earlier, cause I didnt want to hurt you.
- O’ really? I havn’t noticed.
- Yes, but please promise you are not mad? And pleaseeeee go see a doctor, and make sure you havn’t caught anything serious, sweetie, okay? I worry about you. You are such a nice person.
(end it here, and never brought this topic up ever again)

- You know Joe is gonna break up with his girlfriend cause she has a bad “breathe” (lie)
- Oh! How mean.
- Yeah, tell me about it. He could have offered her a breath liquid instead. She is a very nice girl, and she doesn’t deserve it.
- What? She doesn’t need to use breath-liquid just because her boyfriend thinks so!!!
- Oh, sweetie, everyone needs to use breath-liquid. I use this “x-brand” breath liquid, otherwise I would smell like a badger’s bum. (humour)
she would probably take the hint.

You can open up a website about Bad breath randomly. Such as this one –
When the page opens up, you go like .. “Oh I better take this test, I have a big date this Saturday, and I dont want to scare her off by my breath”
You take the test, and make her take it too. Hopefully she will realize.
4) … … … … … … …
You can simply send an annoymous e-mail like some people suggested here, and not deal with it at all. This seems really immature to me .. but still ..
