Ladies point of view.....I like this woman but she seems to have a personal hygiene problem

Ive met this woman. She seemed really nice, quite attractive etc. We arranged a date the other day.

It all went well, but the whole way through the date i could smell this unpleasant smell.

I didnt know where it was coming from at first, but I realised soon enough that it was coming from her.

I really like her, but this smell is really offputting. I suppose I could say something, but, past experience tells me that you have to tread very carefully when raising criticisms with women.

Any advice on how to deal with this welcomed.

Actually, it did smell like cheesy feet, but she was wearing knee high boots so im guessing it wasnt her feet

No, she was wearing a short denim skirt, and this white, and kinda see through, blouse. She looked stunning on the date. But this smell was really overpowering.

Im sorry - i wasnt trying to offend anyone!

I would like a second date but this smell is putting me off. It was coming from down below which is worrying because, what if she has an disease or something down there?

Well theres your answer then!

iamapieceofcheesecake · 07/07/2006 22:20

I'm sure she hasn't got a 'disease'! Maybe she has thrush. I wouldn't use her hose pipe if you are planning any more dates. oh, and stay clear of the food in her house.

GordonZola · 07/07/2006 22:28

So how do i tell her? Surely she knows that she whiffs a bit down there then?

OP posts:
iamapieceofcheesecake · 07/07/2006 22:30

Yes, yes, i'm sure she does. I wouldn't mention it. Maybe shes trying to clear it up and wouldn't like the fact that you've noticed. Did her house smell of garlic?

Beauregard · 07/07/2006 22:30

Ask her if gorgonzola is her favourite perfume!

heavenis · 07/07/2006 22:30

For your second date instead of taking her flowers,go via boots the chemist and buy canesten

Cappucino · 07/07/2006 22:30

oh no I can't

Beauregard · 07/07/2006 22:33

Yeah and if you wanted to really push the boat out get her the pessary as well!
