“Ms. DoRight, So, I accidentally got myself in a situation. The other night, I hooked up with this chick at the bar. We slept together, but I kind of don’t remember her name. I didn’t think it would really matter, but I’ve been seeing her around campus and it’s uncomfortable.”

Ms. DoRight,

So, I accidentally got myself in a situation. The other night, I hooked up with this chick at the bar.

We slept together, but I kind of don’t remember her name. I didn’t think it would really matter, but I’ve been seeing her around campus and it’s uncomfortable.

It turns out we have some mutual friends, so we run into each other sometimes. I don’t think I actually like her as a person, but after a situation like this, are we supposed to be friends?

Signed,

One Night Stand

—————————————————–

One Night Stand,

You did not accidentally get yourself into a situation.

You got drunk and then did the Hawaiian with a stranger. That’s not an accident; it’s irresponsible and you should have known better.

However, your inclination to be friends with this woman shows maturity.

Usually, though, two strangers become friends because they have things in common, not because they spent some time doing a bit of the old in-and-out.

Having carnal knowledge of somebody else’s body does not always mean you’re Best Friends Forever.

Instead of being real friends, you could be Facebook friends. That way you can feel like you’re doing something while making minimal effort.

I would advise against poking your new Facebook friend. You already did that, and look at your predicament.

If you decide to maintain a friendship with this woman, the first thing you should do is find out her name.

During this friendship, it is important to realize that every time you see her, you will both be thinking about the time you bumped uglies.

Chances are this might inhibit the growth of a mature, adult friendship.

Sometimes, even mature adults decide to center an entire relationship on the Rumpy Pumpy.

This might not be the most emotionally rewarding experience, but it works for people who don’t know what to do with their one-night stand.

To avoid future situations like this, try exchanging phone numbers instead of bodily fluids.
