Put OFF by her....

....SMELL.

i have recently met this girl at my work place (HMV) and i have been goin out with her for about 4 weeks.

she is a dream girl and we get on like a house on fire and we have so much fun, and we have no problems what so ever. we never have periods where she moans because i dont call, if i call her and she dont pick up she will just txt back saying i dont wanna speak right now...she is straight to the point...i love this.

but the thing is she smells absolutely revolting...i havent really talked to her about this but i do know that she bathes because i bought her a set of Lady Boss Perfume and shower gel...and she uses it because i can smell it....but i can also smell her sweat and she sweats all over her body constantly...yesterday she came to my house for the first time and it is a rule in my house to take off footwear...she made the whole house stink...and my mum talked to me when se left...it was sooo embarrassing.

i want to talk to her about this and i am usually straight with her, however i can never find the right time to talk to her about this...and she must know that i know that she smells.

any advice?

Damm thats tricky...you will have to brave everything and tell her...but be careful you could knock her down hard saying she smells......

yeah tbh smelling like really bad is generally considered anti social and is unhygenic at any rate. Just have a word with her. Obviously don't just come out with "I'm sorry but you stink" but have words with her; ask if she has a BO problem that is hard to control or whatever.

Tell her straight up. There is no way around it. You can try and make a bit of a joke out of it or you can just be blunt about it, depends on you and your girl.

If you know she bathes sufficiently but still manages to smell, it's probably a problem she's well aware of but can't control. I don't think telling her outright would be the best solution, but seeing as she's fairly straightforward, it seems like your only option.

Tell her. If it continues, tell her to get to a Doctor. If she's not reacting like a normal human being to normal soaps and basic cleaning things, then it's a problem she needs to fix now rather than later.

Err yeah that's a hard one. If I was with a guy like this I would stop going out with him no matter how great he was otherwise because I don't think people like that will understand. Especially as no one else probably tells them that they smell. Sorry I can't think of anything better to say. :frown:

hmmmm if you are being honest with her then tellher the truth. try not to be too blunt but tell her honestly. it may be for a number of reasons, although if its that bad she must of noticed it herself. maybe when it comes to the sex part, if its still reall off putting suggest a sexy shower together first, shell smell lovely and gorgeous then, and it'll be majorly sexy! .. well works for me! :smile:

Don't set her on fire whatever you do. Could explode.

Tell her straight up.

Whatever you do don't do this. I'm sure she knows about her problem and is taking measures to deal with it. Being this blunt will only offend her and probably end your relationship. If you really like her, I suggest you put up with it.

What if they married and he has to put up with it for another 50 years or more. :eek:

If she knew she had a problem then she would have gone to the doctor and sorted it out.

I believe you have a hygiene problem, kindly see a doctor.

when you're with her just say 'whats that smell, it stinks' she will probably keep quiet but shelle probably realise its coming from her. Another way is just to tell her straight up..but youlle probably get dumped over the phone!!!..

Sometimes you got to be blunt and tell them.

A problem indeed.

Be honest, I suppose. Tell her.

Out of curiosity, what does she actually smell like?

" don't know if you are aware of it yourself, but i've noticed recently that you are suffering from/experiencing bad b.o" lol hopefully she'll find that phrase as funny as i do

That's so horrible.

As are most of the people on this thread. :frown:

How dare you all be suggesting he tells her?

Either he should be more mature and deal with it and grow to love it, or split up with her (and it sounds like there are more problems in the relationship than this one). Just don't be so rude about something she probably can't even change :frown:
