If I Were Your Friend Would You Tell Me ?

I want my friends to be frank with me , because I am that to them .
If they notice that I have a lipstick stain on my teeth they should tell me .
I would appreciate it so much if they do that , so I can wipe it and not be further embarrassed of talking and smiling , knowing afterwards that I have lipstick stain on my teeth . Oh my ! 
With my lady boss when I see that her teeth has lipstick on it , I tell her . That’s because I don’t want her to be further embarrassed when she smiles with it at her guests .
We would both laugh out loud while she hurriedly wipe the stains in her teeth and thank me blushingly .
And she would tell me also when my stockings is so dark . 
If you are a friend , would you tell a friend that she has a lipstick on her teeth or for both gender , a stain on their teeth ?

definitely, because we are friends, but if the person is not a real and true friend but just an acquaintance, and has some attitude, i will just tell to another, to tell her of the lipstick stain on her teeth; that way, she could wipe it off thus avoiding embarrassment.

@SIMPLYD yes, especially if you feel that that person does nor accept constructive criticisms. better stay away from those types of people.

If i were a person who sees you in that situation i would surely tell you even if you are not a known person . I actually encountered something like that and i go near the lady and whispered to her . She was so thankful .
But as to lipstick stain in the teeth of other people , i just would not look again .

I would tell the person because I would not want them to be further embarrassed. But if the person is far away and I don't know them then it isn't common for me to get up to tell them.

@SIMPLYD I have told strangers that they had something on them or like toilet paper on their shoe. but if they are far away and I saw it - I would not run up to them... just if I happen to be right there.

You know, you bring up a great discussion. I think people in all relationships should discuss these kind of things early on so each person knows what the other wants. If we were friends and I knew that you wanted me to let you know about these things, I would definitely let you know! But if a friend told me she would be too embarrassed and didn't want to know, I'd keep my mouth shut. And if I had a friend who had never told me her preferences, I would take her aside privately to let her know and go from there. :)

@davidalicea100 To those we are not friends with , we can ask for their permission perhaps . It really depends on the person and the embarrassing situation .
I think it depends on how close the person is to me.

I would why not? But sometimes it depends on the attitude and the character of a particular friend. If you know what I mean.

I also agree to that , that it depends on the attitude of the friend . It hurts me when we do something like that and yet they won't appreciate it and instead just give you a cold shoulder after that . 
Well , if that's the way , then next time i will just let her just be embarrassed . No preventing anymore to be that .

@SIMPLYD It does hurt me the same way but I need to accept a friend the way she is. Its a sad fact but it really happens.

I agree Anyone who cares about me, like my family, has always told me if there's something wrong like that, so I do the same with my friends and I expect them to do so for me as well!

@LilyBeBack You can detect that she will really be a good friend because she took it as constructive .

@SIMPLYD I once told my best friend, towards the beginning of our friendship, that the ticket was hanging out of her t-shirt and she was amazed. She said she'd never had a friend who'd tell her that before. I couldn't believe how appreciative she was, it was so normal to me

People who doesn't tell what's wrong with you in a simple way are not friends. they definitely wants to see you embarassed. how ever, there are people that really scared of offending some one or just too busy to tell you.

I also think that way too . They are true friends because they tell you that It means they are so concerned with you .

With friends, it would come out naturally. No need to think even. But with strangers, I would think. I will approach them if whatever it is very very embarrasing. Lipstick stain in your teeth is not as embarrasing as mishappen clothes!
Edit: So I would approach the former and leave the latter

I faced the situation. I go by hints. So I gave hints after hints, the girl chose not to take them, or did not understand them, I felt I did my bit. In general, there could be gentler ways of doing it all. When I walk into the room, and I find somebody with say lipstick stain, then I would walk up to them and say can I have a word with you, please it is urgent. In private. So the lady presumably will accompany me. I will ask her lets go to the washroom it has something to do with my dress..and there I will ask her if some hem is out or something...because I am feeling odd, and then look into mirror to see if my lipstick is ok..she would also do the same and know what I was getting at.

Actually , i think it depends on the brand of lipsticks we use . There are some that doesn't stain the teeth .
And besides there's a technique , you wrap with tissue your two middle finger and blot your middle part of the lips with lipstick with it . That way , the lipstick will not stain your teeth .

And does it mean that people nowadays are more into destructive ones ? 
Anyway , would you tell a friend about it ? What about a person you just met on a convention or seminar ?

Yes, better be embarrassed once , by my telling it to you , than be embarrassed repeatedly because no one from whom you smiled told you .

Yes , i agree to that . In that case , when they think that way , then we just let them be embarrassed next time .
Some girls might mistook it as that - luring or enticing them to be intimate with you . 
oh so nice emoticons.
