Yes, it is possible for men and women to remain friends after a one night stand if both set clear boundaries and communicate openly. However, lingering feelings and expectations can complicate the friendship. Respect and honesty are key to maintaining a platonic relationship after intimacy.

Something that's be kind of going on in my life that I though would make an interesting topic. Essentially,
Can a male and female be "ONLY" friends after a one night stand?
Several months ago, I met a woman, let's call her Aqua/Scorp ... after a bit of flirting and excellent relating, she tells me she wants to "hook up." Well, I tell I don't think it's a good idea since one, I'm not looking for a relationship and two, she's going to get hurt.
(Forgive the glaring arrogance in such a statment but... I know me quite well)
Well, needless to say, she ignores my warning, nature asserted itself and we pretended we were married for one night ... well, we pretended we were married three times that one night, but that's besides the point LOL.
Here's the point. She began to feel MORE... alot more. I still saw her as purely a friend and was determined to keep things that way. Make a long story short, I ended up being right. She got hurt. So much so she did the Aqua aloof thing which is a bit rough to deal with, I took it as disinterest and took my leave. After an adult conversation, all that was being pushed to and fro by undercurrent washed upon the shore and stood there to be admired and scrutinized. In the end WE agreed to be "JUST FRIENDS."
I've been told that this is unfair of me, in that I shouldn't expect friendship in this situation. She's going to be catching hell while I, presently am in...presently in "ditto" with another, am just trying to keep a buddy.
So, is it possible here? Is it possible, period? Can men and women, after a night of lust remain "JUST FRIENDS?" To add another angle to this, should my present LOVE feel edgy about me having a friend like this?
I'm more interested in the females point of view here, but everyone feel free.
