If you're self-conscious about your breath, make sure your oral hygiene is good. If all you do is brush your teeth, you might want to start flossing once a day. Small bits of food can get stuck between your teeth where a tooth brush cannot reach. Bacteria builds up there, and then you have bad breath. Also, use some mouth wash after you brush your teeth to kill more bad-breath-causing germs. Another thing is that if you don't already brush and/or scrape your tongue (with a tongue scraper), start now.
Drink more water to start with. If you feel like you want to suck on a mint or chew some gum, make sure the mints or gum are sugar free. Sugary mints and gums feed oral bacteria, so they actually will make your breath stink worse after the initial "masking" smell wears off.

well i dont know of anything to eat to make your breath better, but i know the things to stay away from. the obvious include garlic and onions. the not so obvious is cheese, ice cream, milk, and other dairy products.
i have a lip gloss from bath and body works and the brand is "c.o. bigelow" its called like mentha lip gloss. there are lots of flavors and they make your breath minty and it tastes really good! (and isnt sticky or anything)
oh and brushing your tongue (from back to front, with toothpaste) helps a lot too.

When you brush your teeth, rinse your mouth out with Listerine mouthwash. It leaves a refreshing taste. Also, try carrying mints with you and suck on one right before you go to hang out with your boyfriend. They taste good and they give you better breath.
