The Mens Health Girl Next Door reveals how to lock down your second date

What's the best text to send a woman after a hot one-night stand?

—Miguel from Dallas, Texas

“You free for dinner Friday?” It’s basically a casual way of saying that the sex was great and you want to see her again, which is all a girl wants to hear after a one-night stand.

The reassurance will go a long way. A new Norwegian study found that 35 percent of women regretted their one-night stands, and the researchers think this is because women are hard-wired to crave more out of a relationship than a short-term rendezvous.

While that doesn't apply to all women—I know plenty who love a casual romp—it's pretty safe to bet that she'll appreciate hearing from you.

Getting asked out on real date will make her swoon more than three-paragraph text about how awesome the sex was, anyway. (Less creepy, too.)

She’ll immediately peg you as the confident, stand-up guy you surely are who’s interested in more than just sex. And you have every reason to believe she’ll say yes—she already slept with you, didn’t she?
