Hi Carolyn: I’m dating someone I really like, a potential boyfriend, but he has come to a few dates without showering, and if this continues, I’m wondering how best to tell him?
— Uncomfortable
Is not showering before dates a deal breaker?
A new, potential boyfriend has a worrisome habit of not showering before dates. Is this relationship doomed before it starts? Not necessarily, Carolyn Hax notes.
