How do you tell a friend that he has a bad breath?

Hi Heatspine: Being a true friend it is really your duty to tell your friend the truth. How will he take it???? That remains to be seen. But, nevertheless, I would want my true friend to tell me. You can let him know that you have something to tell him and that you are not trying to be funny, but you are telling him because you really consider him a good friend of yours and you don't want anyone talking about him behind his back (and believe me it is a really good possibility that they are). Tell him that you don't want to offend him or for him to be upset with you, but on more than one occassion you have noticed that he has bad breath and you just wanted to make him aware of it so that he can carry some mints or something with him. Best of luck to you. P.S. If he gets upset know that you were only doing the right thing and would want your friend to tell you if something was wrong.

i can understand you not wanting to hurt your friends feelings but as his friend you should tell him just be upfront with him its better that he hears it from u in a nice way then from someone who doesn't care about his feelings. in the long run he will appreaciate you being honest with him and you won't have to stand his bad breath i hope that helps ya out let me know how it goes.

using a polite wat like offering him a sweet or something to refresh his breath. then tell him that maybe he have forgotten to blush his teeths. i think yhis is the best way.goodluck!

Since he is your friend I think saying it directly to him will do. But do it in private don't announce it and do lower your voice. Another option would be to give him a note that says he has a bad breath and as a concerned friend you are saying it so other people won't talk about it behind his back. I think your friend will understand after all it's for his own good to start paying attention to his hygiene.

If you say that you are truly his friend you will tell him the truth. Sometimes the truth really does hurt. It's better that he knows the truth now and take care of it than getting embarrassed by strangers who will NOT spare his feelings. Sometimes you have to put feelings aside and tell the truth. Foul breath is murder to our nostrils.

Make sure you have gum on hand and offer him a piece? I did that once with someone I worked with that had bad breath. As far as I know they never caught on, either that or they were just too embarassed to say anything lol.
