Here is a followup to the trigger issue with the new man I am dating. So we had the talk and it went well as I wrote. But the smell of alcohol continued. So, my heart is beating and I am wondering if I am back in crazy alcoholic land. Keeping in mind to not jump to conclusions but keeping in mind I have the history and knowledge to be wary, I asked him...did you have a tequila shot today? Answer: "Nope". Hmmmm. Then it dawned on my...this guy smokes cigars and he is perhaps self conscious about his cigar breath. So I ask, do you use mouthwash? He looks somewhat uncomfortable and said..."oh...is my breathe bad? I ate garlic at lunch?" I said, "but do you use mouthwash?"...and he said,,"yeah, Crest and Listerine". Listerine! It's friggin booze and I realized that smell was the Listerine! Ok, for people like me, who are triggered by the smell of alcohol, even by a normie...DON'T LET A MAN YOU PLAN TO KISS use Listerine.
Hopefully this problem is in the past. Friggin Listerine!
