Dear Tuffy Luv,

One of my friends is in love with me and I’m having a hard time thinking if I should give him a chance. We tried dating for a month, but I don’t know if I can do it again. The reason why I’m not with him is because he has B.O. He is a wonderful guy but I really can’t see myself being in a relationship with him.  His B.O is really bad that the last time we kiss I wanted to barf. I turned him down once because he can be so conceited and it annoys me, but also because of the B.O. I have told him about how he smells but he just didn’t say anything. I am just so confused whether I should give a chance because I know that he loves me.

Help?
Shadow

Dear Shadow,

Okay, there are much bigger problems here than his BO.

I’m worried, Shadow, that you’re willing to give a chance to a guy you find completely repulsive just because he loves you. Girl, you should NOT be with someone just because HE wants to be with you–you should be with someone because YOU want to be with HIM.

Another issue here, Shadow, is that you throw out there that he’s “conceited.” This is a much bigger problem than the guy’s smell. I mean, smell can be fixed. You can buy him deodorant, or he can suck it up and go to a doctor to see if something is actually wrong (which, by the way, he should do if it’s really that big of a problem). Smell is fixable. Personality flaws that “annoy” you already–not so much. If you notice that already, you’re gonna notice it ten times as much with each passing month. Why start something with a guy who already pisses you off?!

Bottom line: There will be other guys who love you, honey. And some of them–the right ones–will get your love back. Don’t settle for someone you don’t particularly care for. It’ll only end up hurting you both. Especially if he’s stinky.

Hearts & Skulls,

Tuffy Luv

    Thanks to all you College Candy readers who have come by my blog.

    I could not agree more. If a man doesn't care about his own body odor, I can assure you he will not care about treating you right, meeting your needs and being aware of his actions towards you. Hence, the conceit.

    Never settle for a guy. Wait for the best.

    I think when women start demanding men act like men, they will be treated the way women should be treated. I know you all know that that means you have to treat men the way you know they should be treated as well. Avoid throwing tantrums, avoid needless angry tirades, and stop the whole high-maintenance acts to make them prove they love you.

    Keep coming by the blog. I really appreciate it.

Tell us what you're thinking...
