How do you tell a guy that you are dating(2 mo)that he's needs to get his teeth fixed without hurting his feelings. I did ask him what happened, and he said does it turn you off and I said no in the hurry of things and not wanting to make him feel bad. He's a hamsome man,but the teeth are a turn off :(

I personally think if you've only been dating for 2 months, you don't really have a right to request someone alter their cosmetic appearance.

I tend to agree on making a request to change appearances but I believe you can say that it bothers you. I believe in communicating what is true for YOU in a compassionate way of course. I believe in the "I" feel/think/want versus "You" should way of communicating.

Bad teeth? My own teeth are not very straight, and that is because my parents had no money to pay for braces with when I was a kid. (Yes, we had that little.) I never did it as an adult because at any given time I either did not really care, or when I did, I had my on kids that came first in the budget again. They however are strong and healthy, always has been.


Sooo . . . are we talking not straight and perfect, or are we talking rotten and stinky? LOL I might approach these things in different ways. (-:

I'm talking missing teeth, and he has the money to do it, makes very good money, and no one to support but himself.

Maybe he *wants* it that way. It's easier to squirt tobacco juice out.
