Legend Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Samantha as in Samantha who? I thought i'm the only person who watched that show hahaha... I wish the writers strike would end. So when is the next date? Jilly sure likes them to be endowed like porn stars.... ;p
LovesDog Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 i had this situation once! i ended up seeing the guy for 6 yrs. anyway, i just waited a bit and encouraged him to get his teeth cleaned and that solved the problem (along with regular flossing). also, people don't realize that about 90% of bad breath comes from their tongue, so encourage tongue brushing. if the guy is in his 30's+, he probably hasn't been to the dentist in a while and needs a deep cleaning! generally the case with men...they don't realize how bad their breath is. weird, eh? sometimes the coffee breath is hideous!
Art_Critic Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 It could also be Ketone Breath. If he is on a low carb diet or the Atkins diet they lend themselves to Ketones beng produced and expelled thru your breath.. A person who has bad breath from low carbs could gag a maggot.. The fix is to just eat carbs to the point the bad breath goes away.
Author Jilly Bean Posted December 29, 2007 Author Posted December 29, 2007 So when is the next date? Jilly sure likes them to be endowed like porn stars.... ;p LOL. No, I actually really don't. Too much of a good thing doesn't fit well with the Bean... He asked me to join he and his friends for NYE's, but my other dude (sexy time guy) has gone skiing, and if he doesn't come home early for NYE's with me, I will probably stay home alone (and that is SO fine!). I'm not a big NY's person, and I live in a state that has the strictest DUI laws in the nation, and I don't need to deal with that. He told me during the date that he wanted to see me again, and then texted me on the way home to tell me he had a great time, and would be in touch soon, so I am sure I will hear from him after NY's to set up date #2. LovesDogs - thanks for the practical example! So, it IS surmountable... How did your guy react when you told him? How long did you wait to broach the subject?

The fix is to just eat carbs to the point the bad breath goes away. And yet another reason I refuse to eliminate bread from my diet. As a doctor, I would hope he would know better about becoming potentially ketonic, but certainly another potential explanation!
Author Jilly Bean Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Update: I had a second date with the fetid doc a few weeks ago. Whereas his horrendous breath was a 10 on the first date, this time it was about a 9. And I think that's because he was downwind from me, and showed up chewing gum. lol. He was sitting there prattling on about how he wanted to take me skiing in Aspen or to Cabo the next week for a getaway, and I had visions of myself gagging on the puddle jumper from Denver to Aspen, or him offering me his snorkel mask when my breaks in Cabo. NOT happening. So, the doc got the boot. I don't care if you do earn 500k a year and have all the paper stats. If I can smell you from two feet away, there is NO way we have a future. Hey, at least I gave him a second shot. Regardless, the baller got home the next day, and we had a wonderful reunion. So much so, that he whisked me off to Maui for a few days. So, now I am tanned, tired, satiated with ahi, and all the while, I got to smell his lovely baby's breath.
D-Lish Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I want to go to Hawaii with a guy with nice breath. ~sigh~
johan Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Welcome back, JB. I was curious about your 2nd date with the doc.
Author Jilly Bean Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 I want to go to Hawaii with a guy with nice breath. ~sigh~ lol. You need to get back in the touch with the hockey crowd, hon. They will take you AND I am certain they would that clean, Canadian fresh air breath, too. How did the test results come out, btw? NEG, I am sure!!!
whichwayisup Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Whereas his horrendous breath was a 10 on the first date, this time it was about a 9. Okay, this is hilarious! Good that you dumped him. I doubt his breath would go down to a 7, even with gum and teeth brushing. Yuck!!
Author Jilly Bean Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Johan - hola! Yeah, I gave it a good ol college try, but damn, it really was some type of toxic odor. Please keep a copy of this thread in case I need to sue him one day for some type of lung or esophageal issue. WWIU - what was funny, was that as soon as we were done with dinner (sushi), I whipped out the gum and pushed it at him. He said, "oh, I guess after the sushi I need it". Ick. I felt like suggesting a portable plastic bubble...
johan Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I assume you didn't let him know what the problem was. If I had breath like that, I wouldn't try to date. I'd get it fixed first.
whichwayisup Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 He said, "oh, I guess after the sushi I need it". Yeah I bet it was on the tip of your tongue to want to say, "actually, you needed it BEFORE the sushi." Honestly, there's no polite way of telling someone their breath stinks. Only ones to get away with it are little kids! I remember my niece when she was very young visiting her great aunt and she said quite loudly, "Aunty XXXX, you have old yucky breath!" We all cringed, but it was hilarious, everyone did laugh, including our Aunt.
D-Lish Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 lol. You need to get back in the touch with the hockey crowd, hon. They will take you AND I am certain they would that clean, Canadian fresh air breath, too. How did the test results come out, btw? NEG, I am sure!!! LOL... yes... all clear- all good. I am sure the hockey players have the minty fresh breath... but I'd be worried about the test results dating one of them might bring...lol.
whichwayisup Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I assume you didn't let him know what the problem was. If I had breath like that, I wouldn't try to date. I'd get it fixed first. That's the thing, is it possible he just doesn't know? If it smells that bad, how could he NOT know? Unless his nose doesn't work properly, or he's just so used to it, he doesn't notice it anymore...Yuck.
johan Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 ...I whipped out the gum and pushed it at him. He said, "oh, I guess after the sushi I need it". He probably meant the sushi he had a month ago.
rosalie Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Don't do the gum thing - it makes breath worse, really! Give him a Fishermans Friend or a Tic Tac or something. or are they Australian things? Those Listerine dissolve in your mouth things are brilliant before going in for the pash
Author Jilly Bean Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Johan and WWIU - my original thought was to broach the issue on date 3, but since I couldn't get past 2, it became quickly moot. He still tried to kiss me good night again, and I quickly dodged it. Sometimes I think I still hysterically smell the stench, and I whip my head around. Its like Im a little scarred. Seriously though, I cant believe NO ONE has told him about this. I have a Mom who will tell me if ANYTHING is slightly awry with my grooming, from spinach on the tooth to a bad dye job. I cant imagine no one is close enough to him to let him in on it. D - I shook my magic 8-ball weeks ago and it said you were fine. I just knew it. YEAH! And you're right - trip to HI with hockey guy could yield a whole new thread.
Citizen Erased Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Don't do the gum thing - it makes breath worse, really! Give him a Fishermans Friend or a Tic Tac or something. or are they Australian things? Those Listerine dissolve in your mouth things are brilliant before going in for the pash Oh wOOt another Aussie! Love Tic Tacs. Mainly only the orange flavoured ones, but yes they work wonders. They have them all over the world, but not sure about Listerine or Fishermans Friend. I find Listerine (mouth wash, gum etc) to taste like I am washing my mouth out with shower gel
Author Jilly Bean Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 He probably meant the sushi he had a month ago. You mean the piece of hamachi that is fermenting behind tooth 30?
Author Jilly Bean Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Anyone ever try these mints you get in Bermuda called XXX? They come in a roll. And they are STRONG. Might have kicked him down to a 6.
D-Lish Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Anyone ever try these mints you get in Bermuda called XXX? They come in a roll. And they are STRONG. Might have kicked him down to a 6. Geeesh, he probably just needed to brush his tongue... A good gargle with hydrogen peroxide. Maybe it's a little piece of rotten meat lodged in between his molars that's been there since Thanksgiving? That could do it. He's not a gynecologist is he? hehe.
Author Jilly Bean Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 He's not a gynecologist is he? hehe. LMAO! Too crude to NOT be hysterical. No, he's not, but he is a specialist that has to get close to people and breathe on them. So, that knocks out podiatry...
johan Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 No, he's not, but he is a specialist that has to get close to people and breathe on them. Mortician?
Author Jilly Bean Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Mortician? LOL. One would hope... I think a window dresser would be a good alternative.
