I could never resume after that. If a chick's breath was so rank that we had to stop, she'll need to boil her face before we continue.

I assumed Zysoclaplem was a guy...so I thought it was funny cuz it made him look gay...but then right below your post it says he is, in fact, openly gay. Unless that was a joke as well.

Whichever way, he is doing better than my lonely and single self, so good for him.

The person I am seeing right now has consistant bad breath. I don't want to come right out and say it, but they probably really need to get to flossing and use mouthwash or something.

If you're artistic, draw a little picture of him smiling, surrounded by wilted flowers, killed by noxious green fumes emanating from his mouth.

There's really no nice way. I broke up with a girl once because her breath always smelled like pickles. Ewww.

Its a touch subject, but why not say something like "wow, i just got this new mouthwash that i LOVE you have to try it!"...
just in casual conversation. or why not stop at the motorized toothbrush aisle in your local target, etc and say, he we should try this new toothbrush... making it like both of you should try it.
what about offering Altoids to him?
That is a big issue with me as well, i am so put off by bad breath i cannot stand it.
I am training a woman and she has dragon breath, cannot really say anything though

My wife's farts smell like burning tires.

 

[Zysoclaplem]

He brushes his teeth. I think he needed to brush his tongue and floss and then do some mouthwash.
It smelled fine the first few dates, and then, bam!

 

[anxi80]

tell him his breath has more kick than a kung-fu movie.

 

[2Dead]

Get a kit with all the oral cleaning utensils/products and give it as a gift in a "I saw this and just thought of you" sort of way.

Maybe he has a sinus infection.

"Yo sucka. Chew some gum. You gots stanky breath."

So you have no problem telling someone you're not involved with in any way outside of potential friendship that their significant other cheated on them, but you don't have the same fortitude to tell someone you're involved with that they should brush their teeth better?

 

[Scarpozzi]

Just tell her that she has bad breath.

 

[funboy6942]

Can I offer you a stick of gum or a tic tac?
Why does my breath stink?
Yeah kinda
Oh Im sorry, yeah I will take a stick of gum

There you go.

 

[Mellman]

tounge scrapers do wonders! i can notice if i skip two days or so with my tounge scraper - so i figure other people must notice too...i almost always do it once a day in addition to the brushing twice a day.

Are you comparing cheating on your significant other to bad breath?
lol
I never said I wouldn't tell him.
Just like telling someone their soon to be husband cheated on them, I need to ease into the thing about bad breath.

The guy has a point: you're putting quite a bit more thought into bad breath than you did over getting in the middle of the destruction of a relationship.

You're dating my coworker?

We all went out to lunch last week and he was in the THIRD ROW OF MY MINIVAN for a 5 MINUTE DRIVE and by the end of it, his breath had stunk the whole thing up.

No one will sit next to him or directly across from him in meetings.

It's insanely wicked breath. I'm talking "knock buzzards off a sh*twagon" wicked.

WICKED!

The guy cheating knows what he is doing. He has options. And once he makes his decision to cheat on his soon to be wife, I would make sure he suffers the consequences.

On the other hand, the guy I am seeing seems to have no idea of his breath, and it's not his fault. He is just unaware. Once he is aware, he will take proper measures in the future.
I just need an easy way to tell him without hurting his feelings.

He's openly gay. Of course it's a guy he's seeing.

Whoops.
