He smelled bad on our date, should I tell him?

as close as a couple should be - I wish I could have been close to him like in the picture, but he smelled bad.

Went on a date with a guy, when he came out of the bathroom at the restaurant he just stank really bad. He smelled like he did not wipe properly. I ended the date after a few minutes pretending to not feel well and I took a cab home. I actually was sick from his smell. He has been calling alot asking me out again, should I tell him about his stank or not?

Well, that's a tough one. One could say that maybe he was nervous and that he didn't realize that he didn't clean up well. However, I would imagine that he knew when he got home and if he were smart enough, he would have realized that he was what made you sick, lol. That would lead me to think that he has a bad sniffer and can't take a hint. If I were you, I would just tell him there was more of a friend vibe and not a romantic connection.

I guess it depends how much you like him, he might have just missed a spot when he was wiping or something like that. How did he smell before hand? Maybe you could give him a 2nd chance & see whether he ends up being smelling 2 dates in a row. If not, then you could possibly forgive the first one & move on with your relationship!

well with the mouth that I have sometimes it just says things without thinking and I would of just told him that he stinks and left it at that. If it upset him then it had to be true because you know that if you could smell it then so could he.

If he had that bad of a hygiene problem I definitely would not tell him that he had a problem because I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings, but I would not go back out with him. Why date someone if you know that there is something about them that you find repulsive?

If you really liked the guy before the smell incident I would tell him that you had a bit of an issue with his smell. Perhaps their is a good explanation??? Not sure what that could be though! Then if you are happy with what he says give it another try. If however you weren't that keen I would probably just tell him firmly to stop calling as it didn't work out and that you are not interested. Good luck!
