| How do I tell my date his breath is awful? Posted: 1/14/2007 4:50:49 AM | Have parsley with your food. Parsley refreshes bad breath. The tic tac toes things have chemicals, sugar and cancerous agents. Use natural foods/seeds/fruit etc... that refreshed bad breath. Garlic is great for your digestion and onions fantastic for your arteries but cause bad breath. Have a cucumber salad with parsley after that, brush and floss your teeth/tongue after each meal but be careful with overusing mouthwash as it can give you cancers in the mouth or tongue in time. Many cancers occur at a late age. | |

| How do I tell my date his breath is awful? Posted: 1/15/2007 1:24:51 AM | | I'm still hung up on the fact that we don't know yet if he just had bad breath, or if he didn't like to brush and had stuff caked on his gum-line? I've actually met people that seem to not brush - how could you not do something so simple in this day and age? I don't get it..................... | |

Yes, I saw one of those with those rotted brown stubs and it didn't got past a date. It wasn't the brown stubs that did it (well, perhaps that was part of it) but more than that he wanted to put me in my place. Told me that my first real date with him was to watch him perform on stage, and told me he would ignore me the entire night like he did to his past dates who got jealous for no apparent reason to him. I looked at him like you rotten stinky skunk hole. If he were decent I would wait for him to get dentures before he met my family. I couldn't take a person with brown nubs to meet my family. We believe in tooth brushing. | |

| How do I tell my date his breath is awful? Posted: 1/28/2007 10:21:36 PM | just wanted to know how to politely suggest that my date's breath is equivalent to that of my dog's. The old "I'm having a piece of gum, would you like some?" line didn't work, and I'd like to be as tactful as possible so I won't hurt his feelings or embarrass him. How do you handle ANY situation such as this, when one habit or hygiene issue keeps you from getting closer? Help!
I feel your pain. If handing him a stick of gum didn't work, try a Tic-Tac..... and if the breath melts the tic-tac, give him an Altoid (my personal favorite). If he is being difficult, then you may want to place a toothbrush and some Colgate Tartar-Control in a heart shaped box and give it for Valentine's Day. Tartar holds many bacteria, and can cause bad breath to kick into overdrive.
If he still refuses, you may need to sit him down and say: "Baby, I love you..... but, you've GOT to do something about your breath. I've tried everything to hint, but you forced me to tell you."
If this doesn't work, you may need to be more aggressive with something like: "Jeezus!! You've got Morning-Breath all Day!!!... and special-order a 50 gallon drum of Scope or Listerine.
If that doesn't work, then I don't know what to tell you. | |

| How do I tell my date his breath is awful? Posted: 1/28/2007 10:38:21 PM | I agree with the gentleman that said there may be some underlying medical condition.
Ladies, before I even go on a date, I tell him I used to teach dental hygiene and I expect a clean mouth. In medicine, I've also studied, the mouth is the filthiest part of the body.
So I tell the guys and the gals, brush... I prefer Colgate Total Complete, Floss properly and use the greatest invention for the mouth....a tongue scrapper.....you can get them at your local drug store. If everyone could just scrape the back of their tongue with this and put it under a microscope.....and see the millions of bacteria that grow there.....no wonder..bad breath!! Keep it clean! Keep it kissable! Besides, it's so sexy to kiss a clean mouth!!!  | |

| How do I tell my date his breath is awful? Posted: 1/29/2007 7:49:21 AM | | Send him a toothbrush, mouthwash, toothpaste with a breath freshener, certs, and maybe a few doggie bones via the mail.(you know the ones for doggie breath) No return address included) You know like a care package. If he doesn't take that hint, I think I would move on to fresher ponds. | |

Worked for us. | |

You almost had it... if he says "No gum thanks" , look at him ,smile and say "please take the gum" !!! If he/she still refuses ......you might want to get a court order. | |

| How do I tell my date his breath is awful? Posted: 1/29/2007 9:36:35 AM | Being diabetic I have to be aware of my breath at all times. I get into a state of ketosis that makes my breath very sharp and acrid, so I make a pack of Listerine strips a "must have" item. And in the scenario described, I just take one out before any close in action starts and pop one into my mouth. And if she doesn't get the hint and reach out for one, I say "These are great. Try one!"
That does bring up the question I have always had. If they can take the water out of mouthwash and turn it into strips, shouldn't they also be able to do it with Jack Daniels and Cuervo? Pop a Strip'o'Jack into your mouth, have a swing of ginger ale......  | |

| How do I tell my date his breath is awful? Posted: 1/29/2007 10:40:37 AM | I like the line from page one about "your breath being a little off" That's a polite way to put it for a first date or a fiftieth wedding anniversary. If they refuse to accept gum or mints or whatever, I make it clear that there will be no snuggling, cuddling or kissing until he has cleaned his mouth. Some people only brush once a day or less and that's just to gross to think about... and it takes a full two minutes of brushing gums, teeth and tongue to get a clean mouth! 2 minutes!!
Pardon me while I puke and brush!
