Dating someone who can't kiss..?

Considering you've only dated for a month it's a bit hard to tell him that his breath stinks or that he's a bad kisser. But then again you don't want to wait too long because then he'll be completely confused and probably upset that you hadn't told him before hand. It's quite a delicate situation. It kind of reminds me of a Sex in the City episode, where Charlotte dated a guy that when he kissed her he licked her entire face like a dog! yuck!!!! (They ended up breaking up because she didn't want to deal with it).

But the good thing is if you have patience and tact he can become a good kisser. Check the following website: http://www.wikihow.com/Deal-With-a-Bad-Kisser. Great info on what you can do and if nothing else works you are faced with 2 things dealing with it or breaking up. Hope this helps since he seems great otherwise.

If its simply dating with no additional goal (courting and marriage), then another person's ability to kiss may be more significant. If the goal is to move towards marriage etc, then the relationship must be built on something more meaningful. Kissing, although pleasure able ,is only one of many facets of the larger picture. Hopefully, he has other talents that will strengthen the relationship.

After only a month of dating, your relationship may not be strong enough to 'mention' the breath issue...however, good manners on his part would dictate that he always accept a breath mint when offered. It is often a subtle hint without risking hurt feelings or embarrassment.

First gain more confidence in the relationship, you don't have to rush kissing, allow the relationship to develop over time and then when there's a strong enough foundation (and experience together), you can mention more personal issues like the 'breath' (along with an offer of a mint again).

If this doesn't seem right then gentle but persistent persuasion. may be helpful.."you don't get a kiss until you eat this mint...". If he still refuses, gets angry or insulted, you got an indication of where the relationship is headed.

Good luck

If that's the only problem that you two are encountering, then you can fix this. If you two are serious, then you should be able to sit him down and explain to him that you prefer kissing someone with minty breath. Offer him a mint again, and put one in your mouth too, so he'll see you're doing it as well. Then, just teach him to kiss. I know it'll be harder to tell a 34-year-old guy that he can't kiss than one that's younger because they'll think they're already experienced... However, if you don't like the way he kisses, tell him what you DO like. Tell him if he moves his tongue a certain way, it turns you on or something like that. Make him think that he's good at what he does, while also sneaking in ways he could improve. I hope this helped and best of luck!

Yes, i'm agree with Gary M. Try to say no to him and if he's still want to do it so he must eat mint first or offering him to eat mint or fruits after dinner.

I have an experienced like you are and it's really bothering me. My b/f don't know how to kiss before and i tried to teach him the way i kiss him. Now, even he know how to kiss me but it's too awfull and so messy...yuks..it's make me missing my ex-b/f kissing so much

Well I for one can't stand it if he can't kiss. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it does. There are a lot of other things that you can teach someone to do the way you like it, but kissing seems to be something that they just can't learn.

Well if it was a serious longterm r/ship I would talk to him about it. it also depends on their personality and other things. If that's the only thing wrong then maybe you can over look it.

You and I are on the same boat! When you offer the mint and he declines just be direct.... say " no, take it, you need it!" and see what his reaction is....

Hope it helps....

You should try explaining to him. Kissing is probably something that you can improve.

Teach him!
