A really nice guy that I just met has terrible bad breath. He seems interested in a relantionship but his bad breath is the only thing turning me off. What options are out there to diminish this? How can I talk to him about it without hurting his feelings?
Thanks
Buy them Tic-Tacs. They will get it
just ask them if they would like some mints.
Give him a stick of gum – he will get the hint.
Not easy, offer him a mint.
yeah offer them something for it
mmmmmmm this spearmint is really good…try some!
Keep asking him all the time if he wants gum or a mint. You can check to see if he’s smart too with this based on whether or not he gets the hint.
NOPE… Just always offer them gum.. Pop a piece in your mouth and tell them you have to try this gum its sooooo Good.
Good luck with that. and Happy Friday!!!!!
Just tell him there’s this sensitive thing… you need to talk to him about, ask him to floss, brush and rinse with something powerful.
no not really. Oh yeah! i know go out to dinner and then get a lot of garlic then say “wow! we need some tic tacks”
No matter how you tell him it will hurt at first but if he really likes you he will understand and he will know that you told him because you care about him.
Pop some mints yourself, then offer that person some.
offer him a mint
offer them a mint or some other hard candy.
offer them chewing gum just out of the blue
Wow that’s a tough one. Kudos for you for wanting to pursue, a lot of people would just move on. A line a friend of mine always used was “you got any gum?”, the person would say “yes”, then he’d say “your breathe stinks, you’d better chew it”!!!
Good luck.
Offer him a life-saver. Hope he’ll get the idea,
refuse 2 kiss him. tell him.it’s your only hope
Just be honest, tell him you think he’s hot but needs to stop eating curry. If he says he doesnt eat curry, tell him his breath smells that way.
You just have to let him know gentle that his breath smells like he’s been eating sh!t pizza with extra garlic.
ask him about u? how does ur breath smell ? he will think about him self as well.
you want to have a relationship – you gotta be honest and be able to talk, just explain him that you really like him a lot but there’s 1 thing…
I would just be honest and tell him what you just said, “I don’t want to hurt your feelings but…
Touchy subject. Flat out tell him that his breath is unsavory.
If you offer him some mints or gum, he may take the hint, but he also may just think it is a temporary problem…not an ongoing issue…I’d just be upfront abou tit, but as nice as you can be…more than likely, he will be offended, but just tell him, you are really interested in him, and that you are dying to kiss him (I don’t know if you are or not though) but, his breath is an issue. bIt may be a medical problem or due to some sort of medication he is on….ask him if anyone has ever confronted him on this.
” I like you but you have bad breath”
and have some gum or mints etc.
If he gets upset you don’t want him.
PS: you really can not hurt someone’s feelings
they allow a hurt feeling.
hand him a tic tac…if he refuses just say “its not a request”
GUM ,Mints, etc.
Offer him a mint & if he says no, politely say you insist.
If he doesn’t it means he doesn’t care about your feelings so forget about him 🙂
offer them a mint. If the person has good etiquette, they should know you never refuse a mint.
This goes for everyone. The most polite thing to do on your part is to accept the mint. You don’t want to offend anyone else. Some people aren’t as nice about bad breath.
lol im srry but i mean it sux 4 u lol i mean its a sa predicament his breath i dont know i guess get mint 4 urself and offer it
and do it more than once but dont just offer it to him wihtout getting any yourself cuzz than itll be obvious and if the guy understood that would suck 4 him
I would constantly chew gum when you are with him. Politely offer him a piece each time you are chewing. Maybe he will get the hint. As time goes on, and you get more comfortable with him, you may casually mention it to him, maybe in a joking manner, like “whoa, that garlic pasta we ate gave you some breath!” There’s really not a polite way to say that someone has bad breath, other than to just outright say it or make a joke about it.
Carry mints & gum with you at all times. Whenever he comes near you, offer him some, but don’t use any or offer it to anyone else around him. Eventually he will get the hint. If he’s really dense, give him a tongue scraper, toothbrush, and toothpaste in a gift box.
I feel most people are too sensitive for some hygiene issues, but if you simply discuss it with him and if he is secure with himself, then he shouldn’t have a problem with you telling him. Tell him you really aren’t trying to be insensitive with this issue and don’t intentionally mean to hurt any feelings. If he is a smart man he will accept your advice and also if he cares for you, he won’t mind doing something about it. It’s hard to believe some people can’t tell they have bad breath, but some don’t realize. It can be a big turn off tho!
Say that you want to tell them a secret. Then when they move in to listen, breath real heavily at his face so that he smells your breath. It will make him think “wtf?” and then he will become conscious of people’s breath, making him aware of his own poor hygiene.
you could give him some mouth wash
