I had a date with a girl I met online today and in the beginning it went quite well, we had real fun, a lot of kino and i was about to k-close her. We had a mock-fight and she started to chase me for a minute or so. I had been visiting a friend and wore this huge back-pack and it was hot so i became really sweaty. When the "chase" was over and she bent to kiss me I pulled back and she grabbed my t-shirt to pull me in again, then gave me a salty look and said "your sweaty...how nice" and then she became colder. After a few minutes I had her laughing again but she didn't respond well to kino and I had a train to catch so we said good bye.

The obvious solution to the problem is not to wear a backpack on a date but what I'm interested in is hearing how you should have acted if you started to sweat on a date. Is it impossible to k-close or are there ways to overcome bad smell, joke it away or anything?

hmm, if you mean chasing in the physical sense of running around then you could of came back with something about that, maybe like : "well if you hadnt been chasing me so long then i wouldnt be".

Or just keep something generic for if it ever happens, play around with it and see what happens.

But if you sweat alot i would reccomend a good anti-perspirant, and wear it everyday... no exceptions.

Or if that doesnt work try an aluminium chloride one, in UK 'Driclor' is good, and in USA ive heard that 'Certain-Dri' is good, but i dont know about any where else.

Let us know how it goes mate

Seriously dude - what a bitch.

Anyone who thinks they don't smell at the end of the day thinks that their own shit doesn't stink.

BUT not to worry, if someone says that it's no big deal - the real problem the way you handled it. You ended the story there so I'm assuming you felt self concious about it and tried to make up for it, and became AFC.

The proper mindset would be "Well you carry a back pack around all day and see how YOU smell at the end of it!" keep it jokey and light hearted though. And then if she doesn't want to do stuff with you cause you smell, then it's shared-shower time, or if that's not convenient, then no worries, get down to business another time.

All that matters though is how you react to it.


Her explanation is probably that she was stuck with a guy for the longest time that had bad personal hygine, and she has it in her head that if any guy smells, she doesn't want to know him. You have to snap her into REAL LIFE with something like the come-back I gave in the earlier paragraph.
