Dating dilemma.....
Find a Conversation
| Mon, 12-10-2007 - 10:02am |
I met a man on a dating website and we decided to meet in person last night. He seems to be a very sincere, sweet man with lots of good things to contribute to a relationship. He has a great job, he is an amazing dad from what he tells me. He was extremely happy to meet me and says he would love to pursue a relationship with me. The only problem I am having is this....I don't want to sound shallow but I love a nice smile on a man and he has dark teeth with cavities and a couple teeth are missing. Otherwise he is very handsome and he works out, eats healthy, and takes care of himself. I was hesitant to give him a goodnight kiss last night because of the teeth. Is there anything I can say or do to let him know this is a problem? I hate to loose a good guy over 1 thing, but it is a big thing for me.....Any advice???

Chemistry and attraction are biggies for me when deciding to pursue a relationship with someone, so if the "nice smile" issue is big for you, I don't think you should ignore that. I believe you should be able to accept someone for who they are completely before having a relationship, bad teeth and all. After one meet, you have already found something that bothers you. But is it a deal breaker...well time will tell.
Also, I would be weary of someone who decided after one face to face meet that he wants to have a relationship. You guys haven't spent enough time together to really determine that yet. Perhaps spending more face time together will give you more information as to whether you can accept him as he is. Since you have only had one meet it may be too early to determine if this is a deal breaker for you.

Hi
It's understandable this would bother you - dark and missing teeth! Why wouldn't he be keeping up with such basic hygiene?
