Let's say you are dating someone you really like. You come in for a kiss and suddenly catch a wiff of some unsavory breath.

Is this the end of the relationship or the start of something really good?

    The End.
    BUT, if it is just your friend with the bad breath, do you tell them? and if so...how? I am very scred of hurting my friend's feelings...but it can't go on like this...

      No way, that's what gum is for! :)

      If someone breaks up over something as small as bad breath, they'll never stay in a relationship, IMO. It's no biggie for me, anyway.

            I'd stick it out until I get to know the person better and when he/she trusts me, I'll try to sneak in a mention of bad breath and breath mints into the conversation.

            But if it's totally horrid, like dead fish and manure rank, then I'll deffinately be leaving!

              haha yes^^^^, and hopefully in most cases the person woud think ahead of time to get mints or gum and not eat foods that create bad breath.

                Cigarette breath is a complete mood killer for me. I feel like I'm kissing an ash tray.

                  Depends. If they're a smoker or they have halitosis, it definitely might be a deal breaker. More likely if they were a smoker. Anything else can usually be fixed with good oral hygiene.

                    Since I've stopped drinking and smoking... yes.

                    When I was drinking and smoking... hell no!

                      Like everyone else says, if its beer breath or cigarette breath, then no way - thats just being sanitary. But if it kinda stinks - not to the point where I wanna leave - maybe. But still just the thought about (yuck!!!):eek:

                        It really depends. If I like a guy enough I'll give him subtle hints (i.e. offer gum) or I'll end it right there if I don't think anything of it.

                          Not really. I've had ex's who were smokers, never bothered me. Bad breath is something that is easy to change anyways, even hairstyles and clothes. Personality on the otherhand....

                            I'd ask if she wants candy (even thought it'd be a mint). Or give her a York. It's minty. It wouldn't seem so obvious :S or it still might..

                                    I have awful breath. Due to constant post nasal drop. But, as long as I eat some fruit or chew some gum before I'm making out - I'm OK.

                                    I wouldn't dump someone because of bad breath.

                                      There was a girl I had a little one night rendevous with and everything was going great untill we kissed, and man... it was like a toxic waste dump. She was a heavy smoker. It didn't break the deal that night :), but I definitely wouldn't consider dating her. Its just too strong of an association in my brain to ever shake loose.

                                        Oh yeah, smoking is bad. Now that I think about it - I would dump a smoker.
