Meeting people is really tough. For girls who don't have photographic memory or impeccable facial recognition, meeting guys in an organic setting (not on apps or online) poses a new problem in the dating world. Ironically, the elusive Mr. Right can come sweep you off your feet so fast that you might forget his name in the process. That's exactly what happened to one woman, a 20 something hopeful single who had met a guy in person at an event. Naturally, they opened their introductions with a name, but she never knew that by the end of the night she would be falling in love with this mystery guy and never cached the name. Ooops. 

So while she knew his favorite books and family dynamics, this girl couldn't recall his name by the end of the night. Now, THREE MONTHS LATER, this forget-me-not femme fatale is now way too embarrassed to ask for her boyfriend what his name is.Yikes. Fortunately, relationship experts online have come up with some super wholesome ways to acquire his name and save this girl from the embarrassment of dating her nameless Prince Charming.

    Font - ask his name since we kissed before too. We kept seeing each other until now and it's been three months almost, we also slept together and I think I'm starting to catch feelings also. I just don't know his name and now it's been embarrassingly late to ask him.

    Font - LetThemEatVeganCake 1 day ago I forgot to ask my now husband how to pronounce his name on our first date. Our first date ended up being like 12 hours because we really hit it off. I decided to have my roommate introduce herself. He just mumbled.

    Font - My other roommate was out of town for a few weeks, but she did the same thing when she got back. She has a difficult to pronounce name so made a big show about how important it is to her to get names right, so had him say it multiple names.

    Rectangle - JoeyJoeJoeJrShab 1 day ago Have your best friend "accidentally" run into you while you're on a date. Make sure she knows to quickly introduce herself directly to your partner (since otherwise, the usual social behavior would be for you to do it).

    Font - Arrange to receive an "important" phone call around this time. This will cause you to walk outside where you can hear better, leaving your friend and partner together. Now she has a second chance to get his name in case anything went wrong in the first attempt.

    Font - Make sure none of this is revealed to your partner or anyone else..... until the two of you get married, and your best friend, serving as your maid of honor retells this story during her toast. 2.5k Reply Share punkwitch666 OP. 1 day ago So far this is the best plan I think! Thank you
