Instead of bumbling about trying to make up for my memory failure, I usually say, "I'm so sorry. I'm terrible with names, and I've forgotten yours."<br />It sort of saves the situation!

But now that I'm *cough* old, I just come right out with, "Sorry, I can't think of your name!" - exclamation point optional, depending on how big of a flub it is.<br /><br />Your exerciser reminded me of a woman who recently went power walking by me while I was in our driveway. She said, "Oh, you guys still live here?" I had NO idea who she was.

I'm sorry, but I'm terrible at names..." and a friend pointed out to me that if the person really mattered to me I would make it a point to remember. (I didn't tell him that it took me 6 months to remember HIS name.) I've given up.

Mostly after that they put up with me.Magehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333086721654817750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-72980156544285593582013-08-27T10:21:56.359-04:002013-08-27T10:21:56.359-04:00Oh, it hits me all the time.

Fine until like you say I have to introduce someone. Several times the name comes to me at just the last minute. Weird.<br /><br />I also forget peoples names AS THEY ARE INTRODUCED TO ME! I keep meaning to repeat the name as I hear it, but always forget.
