One night stand. Most women think it's completely unacceptable to wake up to an empty bed "the morning after," for a man to get up and go home before the woman wakes. After falling asleep at my old roommate's new pad, I can see the man's point of view from a logical stance.

You wake up and regardless of how well the night went, you are thinking about:

1. Sleeping in your own bed. Who doesn't love their bed more than someone else's? Or in my case, an egg crate on the floor?

2. Showering. Regardless of whether you're a morning or night showerer, you're probably past due at this time.

3. Change of clothes. There's no way you can go to work wearing yesterday's outfit.

4. Brushing your teeth. No one is immune to the terrors of morning breath.

You may also be thinking of additional factors such as the traffic commute, getting to work on time or prying your dry contacts from your eyes.

So what's the solution? You might keep an overnight bag complete with clothes and assorted toiletries (possibly towel as well, depending)... but then wouldn't it be incredibly presumptuous to show up on someone's stoop with a bag? Ladies, wouldn't you be equally offended if a guy felt so certain he could seal the deal that he prepared for it in this manner?

Additionally do you really want to be woken up at 5 in the morning just so that he can tell you he's leaving?

So take the hastily written note that he will call, relish in having the whole bed to yourself once again, and enjoy the fact that you don't have to worry about sleeping in your own bed, showering, changing your clothes and brushing your teeth... at least any more so than you normally do.
