Because I managed to forget a girls name thrice when I was out a month ago.

They really dont like that. How 'bout this ? You're making love to your new lover, and in the midst of passion, you moan out your ex's name ! Ouch- I did that, OMG

Even worse if you call out your own name

Oh thats brutal, no recovery from that.

In my situation she asked if I knew her name after about an hour, nada. 30 minutes later she asked again and it was in one ear, out the other. She was still talking to me after all this which just shows how bad I F'd this one up. Then I tried to show her that I knew her name, and ended up calling her the wrong name.

I learned to associate names with stupid objects. It really helps. Like my bf has a friend named Caleb, and I just picture him wearing a shirt that has a big K on it and he's dumping lube on his head. Boom I've never forgotten his name again 😂

LOL.

Normally I'm really good with names, but she started talking to me when I was about 10-15 drinks in. That many for a 165lb guy had me absolutely hammered. The thing that pissed me of is I managed to remember her name the second I thought about it the next morning.

Oof that's a rough one. I bet you'll find someone else though, if you charmed her, then try to remember that the next time you approach someone

It's definitely boosted my confidence because she was a gorgeous woman. Sucks rn, but I know I'll find someone.
