I’ve been seeing this guy for about a month and he’s extremely kind, considerate, and makes me laugh SO HARD. However, his breath is pretty terrible and i’ve tolerated it so far but i’m nervous to bring him around my friends/family cause ik they’ll notice it.
When we spent a weekend together it seemed like he brushed pretty regularly (morning and night i believe) but when he just spends the night for one night, he doesn’t bring ANYTHING (no clothes, charger, or TOOTHBRUSH). I feel like he might be aware of it but i’m not sure.
I was thinking that maybe i could buy a cheap toothbrush and next time he spends the night i can be like “oh i actually have an extra toothbrush and some mouthwash”. In which case he might get the hint?? Otherwise, I’ll just have to have a very challenging, awkward, and embarrassing convo. Please help!! Do i try to subtly drop hints? Or do i just straight up tell him? If so, how should I say it gently or kindly? I know some might say “just be blunt you’re not his mother.” but he’s extremely kind and I feel like i need to approach this in the most gentle way possible so as to not make him feel too embarrassed/insecure since he just finally started opening up to me.
Also, I’ve read some other posts/replies about this and a lot of people say “tell him to get ___” but we’re not even official yet so I’m not sure how I could do that naturally LOL.
TL;DR: The guy I’ve been seeing is AMAZING but has terrible breath. How do I approach this and what should I say?
