A one night stand may seem like a good idea when you’ve had a few tequila shots and that guy looks like a one way ticket to pleasuretown, but if not handled correctly, this may be a night you look back on with regret. We show you what to keep in mind...
Know what you’re in for
Many women have one night stands because they’re looking for a little no-strings fun, and want to sample what’s on the menu before settling down. However if you’re looking for long term romance, you may want to delay the sleepover – one night stands rarely lead to relationships.
Safety first
Being intoxicated impairs your judgement and makes you more vulnerable to danger, so ladies, take it easy on the Mojito’s!
Spend some time talking to suss him out, and before you go home with him, let your friends know where you’re going and who you’re going with. And so he doesn’t leave you with an unwanted souvenir, always use a condom to protect yourself from pregnancy and STD’s.
Be prepared
If you think you might be bringing someone home tonight, take your collection of snugly toys off the bed, and your dirty laundry off the floor.
For heavens sake, take off those Bridget Jones knickers and put on something your Mother wouldn’t wear! Handbag essentials include condoms, makeup remover wipes, a hair brush, and some makeup for morning touchups.
Damage control
If you wake up with a big mistake snoring next to you, get out of there fast by making an excuse about going to the bathroom, or by saying you have to be somewhere such as work or a coffee date.
If you ended up at your place and he seems reluctant to leave in the morning, telling him your boyfriend will be home soon will see him climbing out the window in a flash!
Good morning!
If you’re lucky enough to wake up next to a guy who still seems as gorgeous as he did the night before, you will have to play your cards right if you want to see him again. If you’re at your place, use food as a way to his heart by offering him breakfast. If you’re at his place, sneak out before he wakes, leaving a note with your number and a suggestion to meet for coffee - this will leave him curious about seeing you again, and will make it clear that you’re interested in getting to know him on a non-physical level!
