lookingatyou Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 I've just been chatting on aim to my ex of a month. i dont think hes taking the break up that well, but thats by the by. hes already started dating and hes meeting her tomorrow. i told him there was a guy i liked too. i wished him well and said "here's a tip- dont wear your holey jumper!" he said "here's a tip for you- clean your teeth!" i said "sorry?" he said he felt he should tell me, over 50% of the time my breath is fine, but in the mornings or after coffee or a cigarette it stinks. i was like "erm.. ok.. thanks...." i said does it smell of coffee? he said "no it just smells of bad breath. just to let you know for your new guy. if he smells that he won't like it." now obviously i'm just worrying myself about this now- paranoid about the fact that i was drinking coffee with this guy i like, paranoid that all my co-workers think my breath stinks at every cigarette or coffee break, paranoid that my morning breath lingers. i asked my mum if it smelt and she said "i havent noticed it, no." Do you think hes being honest and took this chance, or it was just a little dig at me? or he only notices it because he got close to me. i'm really worried now that my breath has been smelling all this time and my new crush thinks i have halitosis! Do you think it was spite laden or i should listen to him?
kyraj516 Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 LOL...girl please...he obviously wants you. He had nothing else better to say than that. Why the hell wouldn't he have told you that crap when he was your man and saying..."baby I love you?" lol...now he wants to "warn" you because he cares about your future chances at love? YEAH RIGHT. Your breath is normal...i hope. lol...but mom checked it out...you're good. take the negative comment from the ex as an ego boost...'cause he wants you.
Racquel Colette Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 I would tend to think that he was really being helpful. Cigarettes especially are going to make your breath smell badly. What I would do is use a toothbrush as much as possible, brush your tongue, floss once or twice daily, and this wash by Crest is really great for the breath. Coffee makes my breath smell badly, also, so I limit it to one or two cups in the morning. I would take this as a good thing, what your ex has let you know! I dated a guy who had bad breath and it ended after a week, I just couldn't stand it.
Author lookingatyou Posted November 24, 2007 Author Posted November 24, 2007 Well thanks guys. i feel a bit better about it now- i asked 3 friends who said my breath DOESNT smell, they would say if it did, and 2 said "well, anyway, duh, you drink a coffee and your breath smells of coffee! you drink alcohol, your breath smells of alcohol, you eat a curry- your breath smells of curry" they said he was just trying to make me paranoid, and not to worry. I also reminded myself my ex was a non coffee drinker and a non smoker, and it probably wasnt a smell he liked anyway. plus i looked back at the convo and he was making little digs at me all the way through it about all of my failings! my friend says his gfs breath smells of whatever shes been smoking or eating , but only really up close- its hardly like shes got halitosis. but- to be sure- i'm going to be extra careful now though with it and remind myself that it can smell! and carry some mints after those coffee breaks! god! an evening of paranoia!x
Trialbyfire Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 I tried and tried and couldn't resist. I'm sure there were times, previous to a shower, he didn't smell like roses or apple pie. You could always remind him to bathe more often, for the sensitivity or benefit of anyone new.
Author lookingatyou Posted November 24, 2007 Author Posted November 24, 2007 haha! well thats true enough! i should have said that!!
