Teeth

*shuddering at the thought*

I was introduced to this gentlemen through a work friend. The details were enough for me to get interested..
We chatted on the phone and hit it off! Oh my god! an intelligent, successful, emotionally available man in his 40′s!! Ok, I was a “little” tickled at the prospect.

We met at the patio, ordered drinks and sat down to talk. [note: I didn't wear my glasses because...well, i was trying to be *hot*]
We talked for a while but my eyes kept going to his mouth….there was something about it…(remember, blind as a bat at this point)….but I couldn’t put my finger on it – and ladies, a man’s mouth is very telling.
We decided to go to a restaurant for dinner…at which point the glasses needed to go on so I could order (because I’m not brave enough to have a virtual stranger order for me). We’re talking about what looks good when I looked up and saw his mouth….specifically…HIS GREY FURRY TEETH! *shudder* I really didn’t know what to do….I’d been having a great time with him, hadn’t noticed any unusual odors….but but….
So being the nice girl, I somehow make it through dinner without gagging – yes, I did think of using the “kid’s sick, gotta go” excuse, but I stayed – mostly because of the gross fascination with the plant life growing in his mouth.

Then the moment I had been dreading arrived….the “goodnight kiss”.
I can honestly say that is the one and only time I ever used the “I don’t kiss on first dates” lie.

If I had a checklist for perspective dates, I add in “How often do you brush your teeth?”

That’s a mouth not even a mother could love!
