Oh my god this is nowhere NEAR an FML. I mean c'mon by the sounds of it its not like shes done it on a repeated basis, stop being such a perfectionist. I mean if I met a girl like that I wouldnt care if she actually smelt like s**t. So man up! You're lucky to have found someone who likes you too, dont throw it away over something so trivial.
Really? Some people just smell so bad that you are taken nearly to vomit-level just by being near them, no matter how nice they are. Trust me.
Just talk to her about it...
Some people don't realise they have BO issues, unfortunately. There was this one girl at school who followed me EVERYWHERE, and she reeked. One year she was in nearly every single one of my classes, and I can't count the number of times I had to make some excuse to leave because I felt I was going to throw up - it was that bad. I don't think she ever actually showered. The thing was, her entire family smelt like that. And I guess she'd been living for so long with a terrible stench that she didn't even realise. But yeah, it's hard to break it to people! No-one wanted to hurt her feelings, so we tried to drop subtle hints. In the end a teacher spoke to her, but she didn't do anything about it :S If she's really that awesome, talk to her about it! Like the girl I knew, maybe she doesn't realise. But hopefully unlike the girl I knew, she'll get the point.
Actually, if the entire family smelt bad, are you sure it was just bad hygiene? If they were otherwise clean and well groomed, it might have just been some sort of physical problem....
Yep. When we went on camp, she was in my group. It was a week-long camp spent out in the bush in tents, and not once did she take a shower. And it wasn't just her direct family, but her step-dad as well.
I suggest you shower together.... regularly ;)

haha best suggestion so far.
Seriously, tell her! This is my worst nightmare, which is why I shower and wear deodorant and perfume and STILL freak out about smelling. If you can have an honest conversation with her about a sensitive subject like this, and make her life better by doing so, then you should probably be together. If you can't, you probably don't deserve her.
Argh YES I'm the same. I shower 2 times a day without fail, and I also wear deodorant and perfume. It's scary because most people who smell don't realise, and I'm forever paranoid about me being like that and people being too polite to tell me.
I got even more paranoid about it since I moved to another country - at least back home I knew my family or friends would tell me if it was a problem! :(
This. I, too, am paranoid about stinking.
wow what a pathetic human. get over yourself and just buy her a nice perfume
she needs deodorant first, perfume plus bo is disgusting to the point of nausea and becoming physically ill
Let her know... but pick the right words.
You could always say something like...."You may not realize this, but the soap/perfume/laundry detergent you use doesn't react well with your body chemistry. Have you considered switching to Dove (Irish Spring, or some other brand name you like)?
That is a good idea....

If you're so into her, and she's so amazing, you should be able to have a mature conversation about it without insulting her.
eww, give her a "friendly basket" fill with deo soap perfume and everything that smells nice she will be greatfull an might use it so she won't hurt your feelings lol if she dosent use it then ask her about it. if not then stick a car deo on her back when she's not looking lol
