  • Why not recommend a deodorant to him. Say your brother or someone uses it and you really like the smell. You're flirting a little with him and if he takes up your suggestion then it's at least a sign he appreciates your opinion if not more.

  • Just be honest and tell him that he smells bad. He is a guy, he can take it.

  • That's not mean, smell is an important part of attraction! Maybe you could try asking his friends to let him know?

  • Say: "I like you, but you kind of stink."

    Say it twice, than scream it. Just to make your point.

    I think the world needs to be more straightforward.

  • Put a note in his locker saying that he doesn't smell too good. Maybe he will do something about it.

    If that doesn't work, buy him a basket of perfum and deodorant and drop it off at the front door of his house.

  • If you dislike his smell it might mean you're not genetically compatible. Your MHC's are too similar.

  • This is so difficult. If you could find a suitable time, you could ask him if he's just out of the gym. He may be confused for a few minutes but the penny should finally drop. I just wonder if he's a student and is leaving his clothes lying damp without drying them immediately. I know of one teenager whose clothes smelt 'musty' coz of this.
