***UPDATED POST 102***Terrible kisser?

Well, you're a teacher, so assume he's inexperienced in the same way your pupils are and if he's a nice guy who deserves a second chance, TEACH HIM !. He may be embarrassed but you'll be doing him a huge favour going forward. He's probably blissfully unaware of his problem.
Just say to him, "Look, I really like you and probably nobody has said this, but I think you're overdue for a dental check because your dental placque is beginning to be noticeable, and if you floss regularly it will help." "And I don't know how you kiss other girls but this is how I like to be kissed". Then show him!
If he likes you enough, he'll do what's necessary, and probably be very grateful to you.
I think if there was a spark or genuine chemistry there, I would try this but I don't think I can see much of a future with him. I'm not sure I like him enough to go to all the effort. I found him to be quite passive and immature (too boy-ish) so I find that a bit of a turn off. This morning when I woke up I just felt...depressed lol. I wouldn't look forward to another date. He isn't what I really want in a man. I hope I'm not coming across as big headed.
I think I've answered my own question...:cool:0 -

I married him. He's still lovely.
After the first kiss I just told him his kissing was horrible and I'd much rather he didn't to that again.
It didn't put him off much. We've been together 25 years now and have several children. I got a peck on the cheek at our wedding, and one for each birth.
I'm sure it's not me. A couple of years ago I met up with an old flame and rediscovered what kissing should be like.I am the Cat who walks alone0 -
This thread made me smile

Im just remembering someone I kissed who kissed like a washing machine.
On spin cycle
Thing is I liked this guy. (And I still do
although that kiss was strictly a one off.. never to be discussed again
) Bad kissing technique is usually a deal breaker for me.. I think you've been a lot more patient than I could be, OP! *The RK and FF fan club* #Family*Don’t Be Bitter- Glitter!* #LotsOfLove ‘Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat’ Dad 20.02.200 -
Kissing is important in a relationship. My OH ( who i am seperated from now but good friends so do get peck on the cheek) was always a great kisser. Its one of the things I miss now.0

This thread has made me laugh out loud, thanks for sharing your stories. I've had some rotten kissers in my time. Some of them just don't have the right approach, they grab, pull you about, slobber all over you, and I hate it when they put their hand on the back of your head and get you in a vice like lock so you can't wriggle out of it.
I'm afraid the first thing I look at is the person's mouth, and whether I want to put mine on theirs, even before I accept the offer of a date. If there is any sign of tooth decay, dental neglect, spitting and slobbering, food stuck between the teeth, brown smokers teeth, then it's a no thank you response from me. And as for smelly breath, smoking or food related, yuk, not in a million years. :rotfl:

If he's 30, then you kind of begin to worry about someone that age who doesn't know about flossing and dental hygiene and is that inexperienced - what mitigating circumstances are there? Has he been locked away, beavering for a professorship in all that time?
I agree with the above, an adult has no reason to be fresh and minty lol! Personally for me, if he is an adult (i hope so!) then i would walk away, I love a good kiss
and i couldnt imagine being with anyone who isn't a good kisser tbh. Depends on whether you could... Saving money like a trouper...0 -
Eurgh....memories of my worst kissing boyfriend coming back. Loved the guy dearly and really wanted it to work, but his kissing just sucked, in more ways than one...
Never had the guts to tell him - but stayed friends. He was our best man in fact.
The guy's wife had never had a boyfriend before she met him, so she's probably still living in ignorance of what a good kiss is...poor gal.
Nothing like a good snog in my opinion.Who made hogs and dogs and frogs?
