kid about it "babe, you stink"
no, seriously, don't do that...  how well do you guys know each other? if you're close, you should just be able to say it without hurting her feelings (too much)... -------------------- www.tangcla.com - photography

Hypothetically, this would be a new relationship or at least at a point where you cant just say, hey, your breath is horrible. I would think this area is less than 6 months.

constantly offer her gum, and possibly chew some yourself often, she'll get the hint.

how about just telling the truth? be nice about it, just just say hay your breath is kinda strong, want a mint, then if she gets affended calm her dawn and say its not a big deal, just wanted to let ya know. if you say it nicely she should not get upset, probably be more imbaressed then anything else, so if you tell her its no big deal then she should be ok about it.

Yep, offer them a mint/gum.
 Or, while you're kissing.. slip your gum into their mouth.

always pop a mint in ur mouth then offer it to them, normally they'll take it and help out the problem.

In the beginning of my relationship I would offer gum and such things to make the bad breath go away, but now we just tell eachother that our breath smells like ****, go brush or something!
