One-night-stand etiquette

by Lydona Atchley

Created on: August 14, 2008   Last Updated: August 26, 2008

I was very nieve growing up and didn't even know what a one night stand was till I was divorced from my first husband. I had to learn very fast the rules and ettiquette for such a thing. There are so many out there that this is the only way of life for them. So they need to know that there are rules to follow.
First never ask the person intimate questions about their life and family. You do not need to know their life story to be with them fo the night. Never ask them if they want or like children, this will turn them off instantly. they are not there to interview for the job of parent or future spouse.


Do not talk in length about yourself, they are not interested in your life story. They are only interestedin what is going to happen with them that night.No showing family pictures, that is a big no no they do not need to see these, it may cause them to feel guarded and then the night is ruined.
If taking the person to your home, make them feel comfortable but don;t give them the idea, you want more than what it is.This way you are both able to enjoy the night. Never say I love you, this will kill the mood in a heartbeat.
Don't ask for their phone number if they want you tohave it they will offer it to you. Give them your name and if they want to sse you again they will call you. If you have rules as to how you conduct yourself, put them out up front, and if they still want to be there for the night they will. Never try to inflict your political or religious beliefs of them.
Give them the space to let you know what they expect and how they want things to go. When at all possible it is easier to rent a hotel room fo rthe night. it is safer in the long run and will make both parties fell free enough to then enjoy the night.
When both people put everything up front, just what they expect, how the night should go, and concentrate on having a good time with each other for the night, thwn everyone will be having a good time and make a memory for their mental scrap book. keep things light and playful, enjoy just meeting a new person and enjoy their company for one night and then part.
When your alone try new things intimatly with this person , you might not do otherwise , if they are up for it. You can learn all kinds of new positions , techniques, and a lot about how the other sex thinks. One night stand can be ateaching tool , that can helo you have a great permenant relationshio later on down the road.
We as humans are we try to change those we ar in contact with
