1. A one-night stand was never your fantasy
You might not be among the women whose fantasy included one-night stands. You might have gone for it when you were drunk or sad and now that you have realized it, you can’t look at yourself in the mirror. You feel that you have created yourself. You regret the one-night stand.

And because of this awkwardness, there are chances of your friendship being ruined. You regret the one-night stand then.
