How can you tell someone that their breath is really bad without hurting their feelings to the tenth degree. We are mutual friends and no one else wants to say anything to them. And we always wind up at dinner together and I just lose my appetite.

Be Honest, Don't sugar coat. They will be hurt. But they will get over it as long as you don't say it around other people and your intent and tone is not to hurt. We all know when we make smart comments with the intent on hurting someone. If you end up at dinner with them often. then you are the one that must do it. Or you are not a friend.

Offer them a listermint tab, most people will ask if they are having a problem you just tell them yes. Don't make a federal case out of it some people have problems with their breathe and its more rude to never tell them.

Mints and Chewing Gum... I once dated and really liked a guy, but not his breath. I kept offering him mints and gum and stuff, and after a while he asked me if his breath stinked. I lied. After a while, either I got used to it, or it got better.

You would be doing them a great favour if you told them. Maybe you could make it like a joke... Yikes have you been eating garlic? here's a tictac! That might give them a hint! But if it's a chronic problem they really should see their doctor or dentist.. could be an underlying health problem.

Honesty is always the best policy. Tell them privately to avoid any embarrassment for them. The simple truth is that they may or may not know but they will respect you for being honest with them.

tell them in private, makin it public will only humiliate them. Even though they will be a bit hurt they will thank you for lettin them know.. (even though its hard to belive they havent noticed) and if u cant bring urself to tell them.. go with the standard ,offer them gum as soon as u meet, takin one strip ur self ofcourse so they dont feel insulted.
