Well, my friend is appalled that her "luvah" hasn't even called and at work acts like nothing happened.... I know, I mean, my friend knows  that no committment means no rules... but shouldn't there be just a little bit of decorum after the deed? What do you all think?
1. What are your thoughts on the above situation?
and
2. What do you think the rules for the morning after should be?
Mine are as follows:
1. The man should call first within ONE day of the deed.
2. There should be some mention that the act occurred ( I enjoyed our time together last night.... I hope we can be with each other again soon.... )

I agree that the rules that you listed seem to imply that there really are strings attached. In my opinion, if they are going to have a no strings attached affair, she (nor he) should expect anything. Just go with the flow. If you hear from the person, you do, if you don't, you don't. No one owes the other anything but respect. It doesn't sound like his behavior was disrespectful so I really don't see anything wrong with it.
Also, I think that the fact that they are both working at the same location may come into play here. He probably wants to be extra careful not to send any cues to anyone.
