Very important tip.

Brush your teeth. Not just right before dates but all the time. And use mouthwash. And mints.

I can't count the number of times I thought I was attracted to a guy, got within the breath radius, and WHOOOF. A whole evening's worth of flirtation undone in a single pungent blast. Now all I can think, no matter how good-looking or charming he is, is "if I had sex with him, I'd have to breathe that for like a half hour."

  2. If you keep your teeth brushed, you don't need to be crunching mints all the time.

  3. I have now scientifically determined that no matter what I say on my blog, someone will disagree.

  4. Cigarette breath is pretty awful, so because I'm a smoker I tend to just chew gum pretty much constantly, which might also be not that hot. And then there's coffee breath.

  5. I actually don't mind cigarette or coffee breath because there's a certain rough-edged bad-boy appeal; what gets me is just the plain old unwashed food-breath.

  6. @holly: do you tell them about their bad breath before leaving?
