I've been with my boyfriend for about 3 months. Before that we were good friends for 3 months. Initially, I thought he was a cutie, but his teeth had gaps in them that bugged me a little. I fell in love with him and forgot about all that. Now, 3 months later, I realized that I can't get past it. What's the best way I can ask him to go to a dentist without hurting his feelings? It would mean a lot to me if he did that. Or should I never bring it up and deal with it? Thanks...

There is no way to ask him to change his physical appearance without it being hurtful. Deal with it...or let him find someone who can!

I agree with Northwestwnderer, you can't ask someone to change because you want him to. Put yourself in his shoes and imagine what would you feel if he tells you that he can't seal with the gap in your teeth and that he wants you to fix them. Move on and let him find someone who can deal with his apperance as it is.
