Moreover, according to various studies<\/a>, women tend to regret one-night stand more than men do.

If you are determined to have him and can\u2019t stop obsessing over him then avoid texting the next day. Texting a guy just after you have hooked up can scare him away and make you look clingy and needy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
