Dating : I (26m) forgot the name of the girl I’m going for drinks with, any advice?
I was a bit drunk and asked a girl out whilst in the queue for drinks, I got her number and we’re meeting on Saturday night… but for some reason my idiot self didn’t put her name into my contacts. I have no mutual friends with her or any way of finding out her name. If worst comes to worst I’ll just say to her « this is terrible but I have forgotten your name » , but I’m wondering if there is any other solution. Either way I’m going to look like a bit of a tit.
​
Any advice for me?
This happened to me once. Asked a cashier from the gas station out.
We meet up at a pool hall that I was a regular at.
Having a good time. I notice her using my name when making a decent shot and I realize, I don’t remember her name.
So, I go to ‘use the bathroom’ and found someone who I knew and explained the situation.
Asked him to wait until I was taking a shot to approach.
He then walked up and said « what’s up joecamel », he then introduced himself to her and asked her name. He said loudly, nice to meet you SARAH!! and walked away.
It was a total bro move, and I appreciated it.
ask for her ig, has all the info.
« I wanna put your name in my phone contacts, but how do you spell it? »
Of course this is the very awkward moment where it might be a very very obvious spelling of a name, like « Emma » or something. That’d be a yikes. So it’s a risk.
I like the IG idea though.
If you have her number saved in your phone, most social media apps will have people in your phone as « suggested friends ». Scroll through and try and find her. Facebook, IG and other apps do this. Good luck!
Find a good friend and show up to the date early. When she shows up, act like you just ran into to him/her. Then, the friend introduces his/herself and bails shortly after.
Go to Starbucks. They ask her name and put it on her cup
Ask her if she has any middle names. If she does you could ask her which one does she like better. If she doesn’t she’ll say “no, I’m just ___”
Don’t bother finding out her true name. Ask her if she has any cool nicknames, then use whatever she tells you for the rest of your life. If you get married, don’t let on that you don’t her real name keep using that nickname until you die. If she doesn’t have a nickname, make up one for her on the spot – she’s stuck with it for life so be clever.
Ask her how she spells her name
The sooner you ask, the better.
Ask her to spell her name and then say you thought that’s how it was spelled but you weren’t too sure.
Take her to starbucks first
Just tell her you have a bad memory.

She won’t care.
