NYC Singles- Guys with bad breathe?
At a recent event, this real cute lady came over to chat with me for a bit. She had met a “nice cute guy” and was speaking with him, but needed to step away because he had really bad breathe.
“What the F**K, he is cute and nice, but I couldn’t see myself ever kissing him”, she said to me.
My advice to her was to give the guy a chance anyway. “Offer him a piece of gum, or a mint.” Certain things you cant change, but bad breathe luckily can be changed if the person becomes aware there is a problem.
But that is the problem! We cant usually tell ourselves if our breathe is kicking, and how do you delicately tell someone that their breathe stinks.
Any advice or similar stories?? Please share in the blog.
All I know, is that I am going to carry those listerine strips in my wallet for now on!
MAN, THIS STORY DEFINITELY HIT HOME…..I BROKE OFF MY ENGAGEMENT BECAUSE HE JUST WOULDNT ACCEPT THAT HE HAD A SH*T SANDWICH FOR BREAKFAST/LUNCH& FREAKIN' DINNER!!!
HE WAS DEFENSIVE, OBNOXIOUS AND DOWNRIGHT RUDE ABOUT IT….
HERE'S A TIP FOR ANYONE….
IF YOU ARE OFFERED ANYTHING LIKE A MINT OR A PIECE OF GUM YOU MUST ACCEPT IT GLADLY!!! IT'S 99.999% A REALLY POLITE HINT ABOUT YOUR STANK BREATH!
I agree…if a person has such an offensive stench going on—whether it be from their mouth, or their body…they need to suffer the consequences…and stay Quarantined! LOL. We are not children here. As an adult, it's all about personal hygiene. If a person is not on top of his health, it speaks volumes about his carelessness about other areas in his life. When a person is in the dating pool, they should be putting their "best foot forward"…not their dragon breath! LOL

Bad breath can be a deal breaker for sure when trying to find a mate. It is so unattractive. I've been on dates myself with very extremely attractive women with amazing personalities, and they had all the wonderful qualities I look for in a woman, except for one……. HORRIBLE Breath.
If you can't kiss a person, you can't date them. If you think bad breath might be slowing down your love life, you may suffer from Halitosis, a condition that causes chronic bad breath.
Some other possible causes are as follows:
• stomach problems
• not flossing regularly
• not brushing your tongue till it's pink(or almost)
Eating garlic, fetta cheese or onions before a first, second or third date can definitely contribute to not getting a return phone call. As it is, both parties are on thin Ice when first dating. You want to seek and destroy, as many first date deal breakers as you possibly can.
If you must indulge in any of these bad breath makers, make sure you have a mint in your mouth the at all times. They also sell pills at any pharmacy that help your stomach and will keep your breath fresh. Take one of those little guys 1 hour before your date.
If you're not sure if it's your breath that is the problem with your love life, ask a friend, and tell he or she to be totally honest with you. Look your friend right in the eyes, and say you honestly won't be offended. You need to know the truth! Let them know, that they will actually be helping you.
If your bad breath persist after some of these remedies, you could have a cavity that is harboring nasty bacteria or some other tooth or gum problem. Time to see the dentist. Don't be scared, it's really not that bad.
If you've done your homework and you are sure your breath is in check, it could be your behavior, dressing for your dates, or a myriad of other reasons. Best bet is to learn to develop self-awareness, and you'll be on your way to getting your love life together and finding that special guy or gal.

PS
Ps- If you get your breath in check, and still have trouble, it might be that you need to up your kissing skills (lots of potential mates judge you on your kissing skills on the first date)
My ex-girlfriend and I actually practiced kissing till we got it right. We had such different styles that it didn't work at first. I was bold and said "We don't kiss the same, let's practice till we get it right". She was all for it, and it turned out to be fun.
Great kissing tip: always air on the conservative side when kissing….kiss slow(especially at first) and use very little tongue.
