This letter is associated with the following article:
I had all these romantic notions about one-night stands. Who knew it would be so difficult to actually have one?
  • silly...

    This cutsie pie article is very silly. The author needs to get over herself -- or be a bit more honest or self-aware.

    First, one-night stands are, by definition, not romantic. And, if you are fearful and self-conscious about being thought a "slut," it might give you a clue that you shouldn't continue to romanticize about having a one-night stand.

    One-night stands are usually not "planned." They are generally "situational." A combination of time, place, mood, intake of liquor and chemistry.

    But the bottom line is this: If a woman wants to get laid, she can get laid. Period. If she doesn't want to get laid, she doesn't get laid. Period.

    I am not saying it will be a wonderful experience with a great guy -- but she will get laid if that is her goal.

    I could be wrong, but is hard to believe this young woman is as naive as she portrays herself in this article.
