Dear GhanaWeb: My friend's boyfriend smells so bad

One of my friends told me about this guy that she has been dating for a while. She really likes his company and how much of a gentleman he is. The only downside is that he smells.

I asked if he had any religious restrictions on washing, and she said he doesn’t. She says his odour is so bad, that it fills up a room and people avoid them. It sounded a bit extreme, but now she’s saying that it’s hard to be near him, and she is starting to be self-conscious.

She worries that she smells bad when she’s around him. This is a bit rough, but now that I think about it, how do you tell a person they smell bad in a nice way?

Is there any way my friend can nicely tell her date about his body odour?
