>Both these things are pretty easy fixes so I wasn’t too concerned.

This only applies if you're meeting a 10 year old. At 24 you should be very concerned.

THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF LOVE THAT EXCUSES A STANKASS.

How should you put it? Bluntly and directly. "Compassionate" sailed away around the time he was 13 or so.

"Hey, dude, you're a swell guy but your hygiene game is way off. While you have many qualities I find attractive, your lack of hygiene gives me pause. It's bad enough that I would not consider any physical affection for fear of being grossed out.

I hope you can take care of it."
