Introduction: Are you confident in the flow of a "one-night stand"?
"I met someone on a matching app, but we had different intentions and it became awkward."
"I thought the vibe was good, but suddenly the communication just stopped."
There are more adults with such experiences. Especially for men in their 30s and 40s who have no compromises in their work, or for women in their 20s and 30s who value an independent lifestyle, an unclear flow of a one-night stand can become a significant risk of wasting precious time.
In traditional apps like Pairs and Omiai, you find serious users looking toward marriage mixed with those seeking more freedom and casual encounters. As a result, many end up hiding their true feelings and pretending to be serious, or misreading the other person's intentions leading to troubles, which often causes mental exhaustion.
In this article, from the perspective of a professional counselor, I will outline the appropriate flow of a one-night stand for adults, sharing tips to ensure both parties are not hurt and can achieve high satisfaction in a speedy manner.

1. What is the flow of a one-night stand in modern times?
The term "one-night stand" often conjures images of a "one-time relationship" that can easily be perceived as irresponsible and impulsive. However, for today's busy adults, it can also be a choice based on mutual consent and respect—a temporary connection.
Why do misunderstandings arise?
- Mismatched expectations: If one person thinks, "I want to have fun today," while the other is looking for "a future partner or marriage," no matter how smooth the flow of a one-night stand is, it will likely end with a bad aftertaste.
- Lack of verbal communication: The Japanese cultural virtue of "reading the air" can backfire in dating scenarios. Leading with the mood without articulating intentions can lead to regrets later, such as "This isn't what I expected."
The "sincerity" required in adult relationships
A truly smart flow of a one-night stand is not about deceiving the other person to achieve one's goals. It refers to the process of clarifying one’s intentions and respecting the other person’s boundaries to enable mutual agreement.
According to a survey, about 21.7% of women aged 30 to 45 have had one-night love experiences. The existence of people with one-night experiences indicates the importance of understanding the correct flow and acting smartly.
