One Night Stand or...

Whether the connection made with you prior to sex was purely sexual, combined with his other available options of women to be with, and his original intent, which he may or may not have masked.

Yes he would. The simple answer is what determines if a guy decides if a hook up is a ONS or a budding relation, assuming a guy is even open to a relationship whatsoever, is essentially dependent on if the girl is relationship material. No amount of hard to get or other tactics is really going to change that. Only being relationship material and picking the right guy will.

Glad I could help

Her looks, personality, and her attitude. If you want to be more specific, you have to consider the specific guy/girl in question.

Ok, so is an "independent, non-clingy I don't expect anything from you just because we hooked up but I will still be friendly and mature and see where it goes'" attitude a good one?

Yes and if that doesn't work you need to find another guy.

I'd say if he liked the sex and she's eye-candy enough to show her off at events...then it goes multiple.

Hook-up is what it is...just sex and not much more to it.

Never discount the elbow grease requirement.

One time and multiple hookups, are all about sex and not much more, although the multiple hookups have a very small chance of becoming something more. Neither is optimum, if you're looking for a relationship. Better to move on and find yourself relationship material, than trying to hold someone using sex, as the weapon. When you're a hookup, there isn't much respect involved.
