What you need to know about dating nice guys ...

Dear Mr Bitter Guy,

I'm an 18 year old PR assistant. I went to my works Christmas party on Saturday and met a very nice guy from another department whom I'd never seen before. We got on really well and talked for ages. We share many interests and it was good fun.

After a few drinks we started snogging and I noticed he had really bad breath. It was awful -- I mean REALLY bad. I nearly gagged. I put my reaction down to having too much to drink and left.

I'd love to see him again -- I just know we'd be so good together. He's already sent some flowers to my office with a lovely note asking if I was better. He's so sweet, but I can't get past the bad breath.

What should I do?

Mr Bitter Guy says...

There's a real warning sign here. You say he's a 'nice guy'. This is a no-no.

Nice guys lack one or both of the following: Self-confidence and/or the ability to make a decision.

When he says "I'll take you where-ever you'd like to go" he's really saying "I don't have a clue where to take you. You decide"

When he says "No, you look really good in that" it's because he doesn't have the balls to tell you you look like a bad Puerto Rican street whore.

You will never be able to rely on him or get a straight answer from him. Is this what you really want?

Nice guys are not nice. DO NOT LET HIM FOOL YOU.

As proof: his breath smells because there are too many brands of toothpaste for him to decide which one he should buy so he doesn't buy any.

Q.E.D.
