I really feel ashamed and hesitate to say to my friend that he is having a bad breath. Everytime we talk with something else, i really would die to this bad breath. What would be the best way to tell him without the feeling of offending him? or disappointing him...

This is kind of tough =). Well if i have a friend who has that problem, surely i don't want to offend him. I think what i'll do is give a mint candy or a gum then cross my finger and hope that he gets the message =).

hey this is a kind of issue which should be handled delicately.I would rather tell my friend that there are somethings that keeps us from people.Bad breath is one of it.I would say that I always make sure my breath is fresh when I have to stand closely to people and talk.I would keep a mint box or chewing gums stock in my handbag so that I can use it when im not feeling fresh.

Tell your friend. Simple as that. :) Honesty can help your friend to be aware of his or her bad breath. Right?

well i think that you should ask him first what he ate and then tell him that the food he ate smells funny.. offer him a candy or a mint. well thats what i think.. but you know. if you are really his friend then you might as well tell him in a nice discreet way so that the public wont know.
