Smelly fart date

[SausageSimon]

A couple of weeks ago I went on a date with a guy I used to work with years ago, he got in touch out of the blue and he's really lovely so I thought why not.

We had an excellent time in a nearby city and he showed me some great places, we had a meal and then went to a bar. It started getting busy and we were sat on some settees and all was good!
Then started the smelliest rotten egg farts, truly vile. It got to the third lot of this disgusting odour and I had to say something incase he thought it was me. There was a group of guys behind us and I assumed it was one of them so I said to my date how disgusting it was and that it was making me feel sick. I said I wouldn't be going out if my farts were so bad! (I've only had these awful kind of farts with an upset stomach)

Soon after it was time to head home and the date ended well! Unsure if I fancied him but I had a great time so we arranged another date.

So tonight we went out, he picked me up and as we were driving along and chatting that exact same vile smell wafted it's way around the car

I'm not being dramatic when I say it's the worse fart I have EVER smelt.

He wants to see me again but I honestly hope I never smell that smell ever again in my life!! It's a shame cause he's a really nice man but I can't cope.

Can nerves cause this? He's big on the gym and I also wondered if it was the result of protein shakes or a diet he's on

AIBU to not want to see him again?

If it could be guaranteed I wouldn't have to endure another rotten egger I'd probably be up for it

That sounds atrocious. On one date, ok if you really like him. But two in a row? Give it a miss. Imagine if it happens during intimacy... ugh.

Perhaps he's on a diet. Tbh, if you otherwise like him, open a window. I wouldn't let a good man go because his bowels smell like bowels...

Tell him. You've literally got nothing to lose!

If he reacts badly, you can continue with plan A of not seeing him again.

If he's mortified and will work on it/change his diet/etc, you've just jumped your first relationship hurdle 👍

YANBU. Bin him. At least a bin would smell better than him.

I told my mum about it today and her response was "everybody farts", and while I completely agree I had to point out that I didn't fart once during either date eggy or not

Is he trying to tell you something?
🤣😂🤣

Eww yuck sorry it’s just manners not to let Rip on a date! I wouldn’t see him again

There is something wrong with his gut, whether it is diet or something else I would not like to guess. I personally would not be able to cope without saying something about it if I really liked him.

I’d talk to him about it

I’d run a bloody mile

My ex was really big on taking the gym / taking protein shakes. . And his farts used to stink too!!!!
Plus he's prob eating loads of boiled eggs for the 'protein'
Did he not seem mortified in the car??

I'd bin him off. Rank. When he next contacts you say you had a good time but you're incompatible. It's really bad manners to just let them rip on a date.

That is nasty! Is he on atkins?? Obviously probs with his bowels!

I have ibs and get terrible wind but I wouldn't release it in front of someone I was on a date with!

Run for the hills 🤢

How vile OP . Surely he had opportunity to say if he had a personal issue with his bowels, when you literally pointed out you could smell it.

Assuming he is therefore well, honestly who the hell just farts like that with company, in the car or in public- absolutely rotten. Is he so used to the smell he no longer notices?

Not a goer is it OP surely, he will fart in your house, in bed and surely there will be unsociable aromas on his person when he disrobes etc. Don't do it to yourself. At the very least call him out, it is really bad manners!

His ass needs a cork in it🤢 I have the weakest stomach going so I can only imagine- you poor thing. Next date (if you're even remotely interested) might need to be in a park? Open air and all that. Bleh!

Buy him a gift. A bulk purchase of charcoal tablets. And tell him it's his last chance.

Unless he has an illness, which would change things somewhat.

When I first started slimming world I had truly disgusting farts. I wouldn't share a duvet with my husband until they settled down. Could it be something like that? You have to (politely) say something. It would be a shame end a promising relationship if he just needs to sort his diet out.
Still grim though 😀

@chubbychipmonk maybe it is a gym thing! Neither of us acknowledged it in the car, I was speechless and generally just trying to avoid breathing

You know what I'm worried he doesn't see it as a problem cause he didn't seem that embarrassed at any point by it. If it was me I'd have blushed or even had to say I'm so sorry and try laugh it off or something!

He also didn't fart once during our meals in restaurants (thank god) which surely shows he can control it when he needs to?!

@EmmiJay the park suggestion made me laugh! He'll be thinking I'm a very outdoorsy kinda woman

When you commented on it the first time did he not say anything then??

Gym guys do the wooooorst farts. Really gross.
I'd tell him, but if they smell that bad surely he must know anyway. How disgusting

Buy him a monster butt plug! It's so rude to fart in an enclosed space. If he can't control it it's worrying! Doing it in the pub is bad enough but to do it in the car is another level.

Maybe get a Magic Tree and hang it from your nose for the next date?
