will you date someone with bad breath?

Suggest that your FIRST Date be to go to the Dentist for a "Teeth Cleaning" b/c YOUR Teeth are VERY important to U! And afterwards, a bite to eat maybe?

There are solutions to take care of bad breath. I would make this an issue and be frank about it at the right moment and work together with him to address this issue. It would be folly to reject someone just because of bad breath.

I would but I would also find out what is the problem with his breath. I had a friend who had a liver disease and was on special medicine for it and sadly her breath smelled very very sour all the time. AND there was nothing wrong with her teeth or gums, it was the way the medicine worked. A strange but horrible side effect! She chewed gum and used breath mints and that helped somewhat! Intereting topic! Many folks say that what matters is on the inside but not sure if horrible breath would make them change their minds or not! Be Well!!

bad breath can be cured. and as long as the guy is nice , responsible then why not. i would rather date someone like him than those with bad attitude. but of course before i accept his offer i will tell him straight first. like to make sure that his breath is ok before we go to date. i will rather want to tell him the truth thatn pretend. i will explain to him why i told him about it, and that better to tell the truth than ignore the person for at least he knows the reason why no matter how hurt it is.

Oh my, that's a tough question. Well, if he's as financially secured as you say he is then you can rest assured that he can afford having a trip to the dentist and that might solve your dilemma. In fairness to him too the smell of his breath might not be a permanent thing. Maybe he just had sardines with onions and garlic for lunch right before he met you and forgot to brush and gargle before the date. Who knows tomorrow he might eat something that smells a bit better like rosemary or something lol. Nah, I'm just cheering you up dear. If you really like this guy then go for it, don't let his breath stop you! Lol. He can always brush his teeth and tada! Problem solved. Mwah!

Hi candyfairy21, Interesting question - a personal dilemma? =) For me, I don't mind. We can find ways to help improve the stinky issue. First thing first is to highlight this condition to this guy (not at the first few dates, of course). Some people are simply not aware and thus, do nothing to treat it. I'm not sure if bad breath is linked to serious medical conditions but I believe that it could probably be caused by minor but treatable conditions like gum diseases, bad oral hygiene, indigestion, lack of fluid, decaying teeth/tooth, sinuses...
