As a many with many options and girls swarming all over you, how can you be expected to remember all of the names.
Call her and tell her you do not remember. Make no excuses about it.
It's a strike if you don't remember a girl's name... this is NOT flattering for a girl, and you're not gonna get a real smile out of it no matter how you spin it. And let me tell you something else, the more you get out and expand your social circle, the easier time you will have remembering the names of strangers. Forgetting names is ROOKIE! If you are bad with names and try to make up for it by spinning it into a neg, you are damaging social skills that you need to rely on outside of the dating/hookup world.
If I meet a girl who's name I want to remember because we got into the early stages of the comfort phase, later that night I'll put it in my cell phone without a phone number to go with it. This IS flattering to a girl when she finds out. When you bump into her again, you can work this into a routine and she will GLADLY GIVE you her number to go with her name.
Get in the habbit of using your friends' and wings' names in conversation instead of referring to each other by "this guy" or "hey dude". By doing this, you save yourselves from having to DLV when a girl forgets your name after an introduction. Also get into the habbit of using the names of girls you just met in conversation so that your wing doesn't have to DLV to get her name if he forgot it after an introduction.
If you forget the names of the girls you are talking to, you give up so much social control. For example, have you ever been in set when a friend of the set arrives? You have to keep their attention, so immediately introduce the new arrival to the entire set by name, including your wing, and you will remain in control of the set. Of course she already knows her friends, the set, but this will win you smiles and laughs!
I've blown out girls just for forgetting my name, and I've been blown out by girls whose name I forgot. Just this weekend I had the pleasure of meeting a perfect 10, probably the hottest woman I've EVER seen in St. Louis. She opened fairly easily, but I had to break it off early because she kept using my name in conversation, and I couldn't remember her name. I ejected, and only afterwards realized that she never gave it to me! I don't even remember how she got my name. She was toying with me. These are tricks used by the most socially calibrated people, and they will not waste time with you if you can't talk the talk.
