I’ll say, “Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t seem to recall your name.” Then when (or if) they act offended, I’ll counter with, “No, I meant your last name.” Because, you know, forgetting someone’s last name is more socially acceptable. when they remember yours.) What is worse in when someone has a baby and you don’t know if it is a boy or a girl. Just Mike? When you can't tell if someone is male or female. I sometimes tend to remember the name better though. I remembered everything she told me about her past jobs and such, so I searched her on linked-in, facebook,and typed in random phrases in google to match her story. Only…I wasn’t wearing my name tag at the time. For more So Awkward visit - https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/shows/so-awkward

(Forgetting names. I’m terrible with names, and to those whom I first meet, I usually let them know in advance. I am a huge fan of Dale Carnegie techniques, I’ve read almost every one of his books and have heard a lot of great things from Dale Carnegie’s seminars! right after someone is introduced at me, there’s always an 80% chance that I wont remember it, make it 60% if you are interesting, and 50% if you’re a good talker. Proud of you Edwin!! Haha!

Hey. Congrats on being Freshly Pressed, my friend.

Ever. . My friend “Sue” walks up and I say “oh! Whats worse is I live in Japan, and remembering Japanese names is much harder! hahaha… i always forget people`s name, but i usually ask them from the begin to not having any embarrassing but the problem is when you meet that person every day and you forget his name! I just straight out admit I am horrible with names (because I am).

http://awkwardlist.com/2011/06/14/forgetting/#comment-form-wordpress. There have been times where a person and I will connect become friends immediately, and we’ll get so wrapped up in the conversation that we forget to ask for each other’s names. My issue is that I am color blind, so that complicates matters for me. . I always feel like I disappoint others when I forget.. my strategy is to stand beside that person for a while and listen to other people talking to her/him, then try to figure out her name and then say hi to her. I only hope someone is with me like my husband so I can say “Hi, this is (insert name here) and they’ll also introduce themselves then we all know it!

What really amazes me is how teachers remember their students’ names, even years after they had them in their classroom. I usually remmeber a name when it is mentioned. Thank the person who awarded you and link back to them in your post. Finally, she gave me an enormous hug and ran off to her class and I never had to reveal my awkwardness, but dang….

Roles Series 1 . I guess it’s just that so many people always forget mine, I started doing that. Afterwards I was like, I gotta remember faces and names more.

But once, I was walking across my college’s campus and this girl ran up to me yelling, “Kellum! when they remember yours.).

Hahaha!!

Contact each blogger you want to pass the award on to and let them know you’ve done so, and let the giver of your award know you accept it… or not. Another way of finding out their name is finding somebody (preferably someone you know but if that fails you could just grab a stranger and ask them to help you) and introduce them to the other person. What’s yours again?”. He said ‘oh, it’s just the same way as in English”. I think there’s something wrong with me. Thankfully now, I remember and it is one of my most cherished friendships! Please remind me.” That and a smile followed by a self-deprecating joke wins ’em over every time!

In series 2, it is revealed that Rufus has a crush on Lily Hampton and he tries to kiss her. and oh!

it’s really Awkward.. Nice blog btw :)), I usually ask for their number and have them put it in my phone and then look at it quickly to make sure it “saved” and then I’ll know their name! usually, i’ll just ask how they would like me to save their name in my mobile when we exchange numbers.. ha. I’m the worst at remembering names and faces. Some people DO steal wallets just for that purpose! http://muzzydaudonsports.wordpress.com/2011/06/16/well-this-is-embarrassing-3/. “Oh, how have YOU been?

I go the honest route – “I’m sorry; I cannot remember your name. And I would swear that I had never even seen her before in my life. Honestly, I have said the same things that you have…word for word. You can’t say “He is so cute” because you may be wrong, so you say “Such a cute baby” or something like that until you figure out from the colors it has on or something what it is. ^_^. So true But I think my problem is different. And congrats on being FP’d! In fact, I’m so bad about it, that when I meet someone new, I usually tell them, “I’m really bad with names, so I’ll probably have to ask you your name about five or six times before I can remember it.”, I have friends who I have had for years and only discovered their name when they have added me on facebook…now, that IS bad! Thankfully I knew that we shared the same zodiac.

Find out the latest on what is happening with Rob for the new series of So Awkward! The show follows the lives of a group of socially awkward friends as they go through secondary school. Hahaha, so not saved, buddy. A bad mistake! Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Here are the rules should you choose to accept said award: 1. How many of you have actually pretended to remember someone and acted like you’re never forgetting names? I ask them how to spell it so that I can enter it and their phone number into my phone… not that I’ll ever call them, and not that I’m really entering it into my phone. Sad, sad. My classmates and I were sitting in our class and it was the last day of school, so we were talking about each one them…their good points, their bad points and sorts…It just happened, I came across a classmate and I had to say something about him. it is awkward. I try to remember people’s names. Haha! I always dread meeting someone a second time, because I am never sure if I will recall the person’s face. I’ve done that before and it had the same response. I do remember faces, tho’, which helps.

Avoiding this type of awkwardness was the number 3 reason I got married. Et voila! Hey, good idea .

It almost always is the other way around .

how do you spell it? 3. I’ve noticed that since I was little I’ve had a habit of not only forgetting someone’s name, but completely renaming them. In series 1, Rufus is a minor character who first appears in episode four. My sister goes the wallet stealing route.

hahaha I do that all the time. Mr X : Long time no see .Gibber , babble ,mutter. Too funny! once，Someone told me his name double time. hahaa hw d’u spell ur name??!! Even people I totally know but don’t see often have been like, “You don’t remember me, do you?”. Oh okay cool!”, I only got away with it when I worked at Subway or writing down new contacts but other times, you just have to secretly ask someone nearby:P, I really hated owning up that I don’t remember the names because I always forgot if we didn’t really connect or I don’t remember anything specific about them. My preference, although it’s probably totally transparent: Introducing them to a friend I have with me: “Oh, how have you been? It is definitely awkward when the two of you recognize each other and don’t want to admit to forgetting your names.

I was once shown a picture of a former classmate who had his eyes blurred for ‘privacy’ and I didn’t know who it was, but when he entered the room I could call him by name because I needed to see his eyes to know who he was. Like my brother Mike! After an interview, I had to write a “Thank You” Letter.

That happened to me the other day. I usually stall the conversation until I can remember who they are and what their name is. haha…this reminds of me the Seinfeld episode when Jerry forgot his girlfriend’s name Deloris!!
