    EDIT: I NO LONGER need your help / creativity

    Edit:

    The relationship is over as of now, perhaps she wanted to pursue her love life with another woman. Details if your interested, but I need to be typing up some essays, which is actually why I'm typing this now. Got her name though.

    Oh, and they don't often call roll in college classes, or at least from my experience.

    So you know how when you first meet someone, they introduce them self and give you their name. Though sometimes you forget their name, but when you seem them again you don't want to ask their name because its embarrassing. Then you get to the point where you talk so much its just presumed you know their name. But think about it, how often do you use someone's name in conversation with them? Not very often at all, so you normally can get by without knowing their name.

    This happened to be the case for me with this girl I met at about a month ago in my geology class. Well we got to knowing each other, things progressed, I got her number, we went on a few dates and now we are officially girlfriend/ boyfriend.

    Problem is, I effectively do not know my girlfriend's name.

    Asking her name is not exactly something I can do at this point in a relationship, what should I do? When I got her number I could of asked how to spell her name, but at this point, my chance has passed.

    That kind of thing can easily be picked up in an indirect way. Through friends, name plates, creditcards, computer log-on, etc. You said you're in a class together? How about listening for the register.

    Um yes. All the fucking time and I hate it. I can never remember names until I've heard them a bunch.

    As for the rest of your post, what Mr Hall said. You should be able to pick it up if you listen.

    I had trouble remembering my girlfriend's name, during our first date/weekend together. Since then, I've made a habit of using it as often as I can appropriately. Kathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen... Yes. I think I've got it. As a general rule though, I need to hear a name at least twice before I can remember it reliably.

    hahaa awkward much?

    hit up her myspace, facebook, etc.

    write her a song on guitar.. and slyly ask her for a list of words that you could use that start with every letter in her name so u can spell it out all acronym style.

    Does she have a cell phone? If so, you could check if it has her name on the display when you open it. Ask to use it to call yours because you 'lost' it. Or just ask to see it cause your looking into getting a new phone. Might work. Did for me one morning, lol.

    When you're throwing her the stones, moan some random chick's name. Maybe she'll refresh your memory for you at that point.

    'So, Darling your name, where does it come from and what does it mean?'


    = GOOGLE

    In other circumstances when you forget a name. Try this. Ask.
    When they reply say 'I know that, I meant your surname'.

    Sorted.

    Also, depending what age she is, she may have her name on her underwear.

    You could always, you know, ask for their god damned name when you forget so you don't have to suffer this absurd sit-com situation again?

    You could ask her if she's ever had any nicknames. Also, you could look through her purse/wallet for an ID of some sort. Those'd be your best options, aside from some of the insane, out of the way, trial-and-error stuff recommended before.

    This is incredible. What have you been doing when you see her? "Hey... you"?

  20. #19
    Get her to masturbate and see what name she screams out.

    Seriously though, that's pretty messed up.

    Borrow one of papers/tests from class to "compare" and see if her name is in there.

    Or you could confess to her now and have a big laugh about it. I heard they like honesty. It could bring you closer together, or drive her away. Either way, it'll be hilarious.
