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. 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.

Great advice! People are in love with their names. Give them what they love!

good advice man, I used to forget girls names all the time until I realized this myself. If I ever forget her name and want to get her number I just save her as a nickname, or ask her how to spell it. Just hope it's not something simple like sally or something. It's much easier to just remember the damn thing in the first place tho. I am focusing more on remembering their names after reading this post.

I rarely remember girl names and it didn`t affect me in a bad way yet.

To be honest, when gaming HB9`s and 10`s, I even pretend I don`t know their names or I forget them even though I know them, especially if they are celebrities (like few I had a pleasure to game).
Why? Cause every hottie/celeb is used to these AFC aproaches: "Hi (her name)! You don`t know me but I saw you (on TV, magazine, club) and I wanted to meet you since. I am .......!

That is so lame and predictable. If you aproach her like you would to any other girl and when she eventually asks for your name you say: "Marco, what`s yours?", she will be stunned and interested in you, cause you are totally opposite to hundreds of AFC`s who aproached her before.

One more argument - Since I never don`t let a girl feels like she is the prize, I don`t tolerate if she doesn`t remeber my name (that doesn`t happen often ) after first introduction. If she, for example, shit tests me by asking: "I`m sorry, what did you say your name was?", I emediatelly blow her of by saying: "I don`t like to repeat things to people who don`t listen. If you want my name, ask arround and when you find out, then come back and we can continue this" and then I just mowe away to other set. They always appreciate you when you appreciate yourself and they never make the same mistake again.
