paenian answered Monday March 28 2005, 8:34 pm: if it's that bad, there might be digestive issues; make him eat parsely. Maybe there's some rotting meet between his teeth - get him some floss and/or listerine. [ paenian's advice column | Ask paenian A Question ]

Don't go unhappy like that it could turn you off from him. [ twynelyne's advice column | Ask twynelyne A Question ]
BLONDE911 answered Monday March 28 2005, 6:18 pm: Tell him in a joking way such as..... continue your conversation then interupt and say...omg what is that smell...(start sniffing) then say oo its your breath and start lauging as if it isnt a big deal. Then at the right time say oo here i have some mints AND some gum. lol i hope this helps but atleast it wont hurt his feelings. Keep this up until he gets the message

ballerina04 answered Monday March 28 2005, 10:42 am: Just tell him. He most likely doesn't realize he has a problem, and I'm sure he'd rather hear it from someone close to him than from someone else. [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]

laadeedaa answered Monday March 28 2005, 10:05 am: Tell him. He is your boyfriend, he might be a little hurt, but he needs to know the truth. He will thank you for telling him the truth in the long run.

jbdreamer answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:51 am: Honestly you should tell him. He might be a little embarassed, but will be gald you were honest with him and saved him further embarassement. Wouldn't you want someone to let you know if you had bad breath? I would. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
chaos answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:12 am: You know he may not even have a clue that its a problem. There are two ways you can handle it. You can gently bring up the fact that "Hey, do you know that your breath is not that fresh? Would you mind very much brushing your teeth before we make out? (insert million dollar smile here). It will be more fun for me." Second, take a pause when he leans over to kiss you and say. "Let me go brush my teeth really quick. I didn't mean to forget. Want to join me?" So it's a little dorky, but man if you gonna love on somebody, you have to be honest. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

Emily88 answered Monday March 28 2005, 7:42 am: well, instead of saying, GO BRUSH YOUR DISGUSTING TEETH FOR ONCE!, just maybe offer him some breath mints. like before you feel as if he would kiss you or anything just pop a tick tack in your mouth and while they're out say, Wanna tick tack? hopefully he'll take it and for that one kiss he'll finally have fresh breath?
hih
