"Today, a reader worries that her morning breath will make her boyfriend want to bound right out of bed. What should she do?Here&amp;amp;#8217;s our lovely reader&amp;#x27;s question: Next weekend, my boyfriend will be spending the night for the first time. This may sound silly, but I am worried about morning breath (of all things to worry about, right? LOL). I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never spent the night with a guy before, so I have no idea how to go about this little situation. Is there anything I can do the night before to help me prevent the morning breath? Or should I try to sneak out of bed before him and brush my teeth? Here&amp;amp;#8217;s my answer: My darling, the first sleepover--how fun! You&amp;amp;#8217;re really thoughtful to worry about morning breath, but trust me, when your man wakes up with a beautiful woman lying next to him, your breath could rival Godzilla&amp;#x27;s and he&amp;#x27;s not going to care. (Plus, dudes generally have worse morning breath than women anyway!) If you really want to be minty fresh, however, here are a few tips: * Avoid eating garlic, onions or eggs the night before, since these foods can cause bad breath. * Keep a glass of water by your bed; that&amp;#x27;s helpful for freshening up. * Simply say good morning, kiss your man on the cheek, get up and brush your teeth, and come right back to bed. Don&amp;#x27;t worry, he won&amp;amp;#8217;t think anything of it. (And you might want to ask him to do the same!) * Read Vitamin G&amp;#x27;s post on preventing bad breath for a few more tips. Dear readers, do you have any advice about preventing the dreaded morning breath? Have you ever noticed a guy&amp;#x27;s rough breath in the morning? We&amp;#x27;d love to hear! P.S.
