Perfect but his....

[Cakeycrumbz]

Found a guy I love talking to. Connected so well..talk everyday..he makes me laugh. He's easy to say anything to. Good looking in photos. Really clicked and then a mutual friend told me he smiles with his mouth closed because he's got teeth missing at the top at the front.

I managed to find a video of him on fb and can see the shape of his mouth isn't right and yep he's got teeth missing. It's completely put me off and I'm gutted as in every other way he's wonderful

Has anyone else ever had this happen? Or something else?

I don't know how to wriggle back out the situation as I was pretty much ready to meet him. Feel so terrible. What can I possibly say to him?

This is fabulous 😊

I would want to find out why! Could be that he's really scared of the dentist.
Could be that he's gonna get them fixed this year and has been saving (teeth are so expensive aren't they!)

Why throw away something lovely without exploring it first. You don't have to interrogate him, and you don't owe him a relationship, but you said he is 'perfect' in every way.

Also, could be completely innocent as to why he lost his teeth. Doesn't have to be drugs, fighting, homelessness as someone said above!

:). It was, it was very exciting never knowing if the teeth would be in or out! As it happened, he was far too young for me and fancied my Dd. That didn’t work out but he and I are still friends some 4 years later. He’s the most supportive friend and it’s the most unlikely friendship.

So my advice would always be to look beyond the teeth :)

I had an ex who was very attractive to me but always had mouth closed in pictures. When we started dating I noticed he had all his teeth but loads of plaque, thick plaque buildup. When he tried to kiss me the first time I said no. I'm not trying to be rude, I really like you but it is extremely important that you go to see a dentist. I can help you find one if you like.

Turns out his parents never took him to the dentist ever as a child. This hadn't even crossed my mind. We found one, and booked an appointment. He asked me to come with him as he was nervous. The dentist removed all the plaque and booked him in for further cleaning. She talked him through his dental routine and he booked in regular check ups. Luckily no lasting damage and he thanked me for supporting him and is now very proud of his teeth.
