Signs He Wants a One Night Stand

From a Guys Perspective

Josh Mason
Ladies you've all been there, a confident good looking guy approaches you at a party, bar or social setting, he says all the right things and makes you feel like you are the only person in the room. You feel instantly comfortable with his personality and wonder why he chooses you over everyone else. However, this is a common tactic of a guy looking for a one night stand. As a guy who has experience in this field, I will give the most common warning signs of a guy looking for nothing more than a one night stand.

Singles You Out

When guys go out looking for a one night stand in mind, they will single out the women they want and spend a majority of their night with her. They will approach with a friendly attitude and initiate small talk, appearing just as friends with their women of interest. At the end of the night, he may tell you he is just looking for something casual and will ask what you are looking for. This is a respectable way to approach a one-night stand. However, some men will single you out, ask you to hang out with him alone and approach you with the offer afterwards, which makes saying no much harder. Most men will respect your right to say "no" to him. It may hurt his ego, but he wants you to feel comfortable, just as much as he wants the casual fling.

Sweet Nothings

Arguably, the best way to approach a one-night stand from a guys perspective is with continuous compliments. We will tell you how interesting you are to talk to, how much prettier you are than all of the other women in the room and make you feel like you are the only one he is interested in. The reason this works so well is because everyone likes compliments and it makes us feel secure with ourselves. When you are feeling secure with yourself, it makes initiating the one-night stand much easier from our perspective because of your comfort level.

Body Language

Does he slowly make comforting gestures, such as touching a non-intimate part of your leg, your face or back? He is doing this to gauge your comfort level before he approaches with more sensual touching. In addition, you can tell what he is looking for by his body language. If he leans in towards you, or is making constant eye contact then he is trying to seal the deal by making himself appear as the only suitor available to you.

Appears Sensitive Towards Your Needs

Not every guy who exhibits the signs listed above are looking for a one-night stand, but they are common signals that guys give away that are just looking for a short fling. However, if the first night you meet him he appears sensitive towards your needs, he may be doing it to get you comfortable with you. He wants to appear as someone that you have known for a considerable amount of time and not just a new friend. He may also talk or brag about himself in a way that appears as someone that would be right for you. However, often times this method is used to get you comfortable with him, which makes approaching a one-night stand much easier for both of you.

    Most girls put their red flags up when a guy they've never seen before starts laying on the charm. Usually women who want one night stands are the ones who fall for one night stand guys :)

    In this time of AIDS why would any guy want a one night stand? And throat cancer is often the result of sleeping around, so good luck.
