I get repulsed by any strong perfume, even though it may smell good for 3-4 inhalations, it starts to get to my nerves after sometime. I feel like I just can't breathe.So I get your ordeal totally. If you're not repulsed by his smell during the date, then may be there's a chance that, it must be wearing the same marinated clothes the next day. If it was me, if I was cool with not using the same clothes the next day( if he's hell bent on using the same perfume in strong quantities ), for the rest of my life, I'd go out with this guy. You don't have enough data right now to know if he'd change or not use the perfume or the gold chain.And I wouldn't go out several times with him, just to find it out, when I could be dating a man who doesn't make me uncomfortable during or after the date. Instead I'd mention something this way. Hey, do you have any special liking for the perfume you use ? may be he'd answer it straight and say he can't do without it, or he may say yes, or he could ask - why, don't you like it sag ? You could then say, I smelled of you the next day too, and it made a little uncomfortable inhaling the smell at work.( you're not asking him to change, you're just mentioning your prob). See what he says. and I'd take it from there. :-) If he responds favorably and acts on it on your next date, then this could be a great guy.You'll also know if he respects his date's opinions, when all he needs to do is a simple thing for you.If he's rigid, you know what to do. :-) well, I get what you’re saying S.A.G.I don’t use perfume ( yeah, shocking to many ), but I take bath everyday with herbal leaf powders from Asia,they smell natural and great.

The most revealing part of this post however is that you wear Sunday clothes to work on Monday? Interesting...

Maybe it's the stale Axe smell that is no good. To be fair, I remember thinking that he smelled good during the date. Maybe it’s the stale Axe smell that is no good.

Good kissing is worth the Axe smell, but that's just me. I would give him another shot. The sister thing only seems weird because she is 30. I lived with my parents until I was married. I just lucked out I found my man at 25 so it didn't seem so weird. Axe spray is changeable along with the gold chain. Good kissing is worth the Axe smell, but that’s just me.

Did you not notice the Axe when you were on the date? I usually LOVE to smell a guy after he's gone - if I'm into him, of course. But then again, I don't think I've ever experienced Axe. Smell is very powerful, isn't it? Aww. Did you not notice the Axe when you were on the date? I usually LOVE to smell a guy after he’s gone – if I’m into him, of course.
