Escapist I need your help! (Girl Emergency)

[StBishop]

Ask her if she has a nickname you'd rather have has her name in your phone. Or be stupid and ask her to spell her name because you know there's many different spellings, and you wanted to make sure you had it right.

And then her name is Pam.

But honestly. Just use one of the many excuses. "I'm shit with names."; "I never got your name."; "I have a horrible name."; "This is super embarrassing but I was so caught up in asking you out I forgot to ask your name.".

What ever, just make sure it's something you would actually say and feel comfortable saying, otherwise it'll come across weird and make the situation awkward.

Ok, so I finally used my British charm and accent to land me a smoking american date, but the problem is, I don't know her name. I've saved her number as "?" on my phone...

And yeah we've known each other too long for me to simply ask her what er name is...

WHAT DO?

1. Ask her if she has a Facebook.

1.1. If she says no, she's lying, everyone has a Facebook except for this one weird guy I know. Push her until she tells the truth. The lying *****.

2. Ask what you should search to find her, "because some people don't put their real names up". If she gives you a weird look, explain that you were stalked by a man with a third nipple once.

3. If she gives you her name, you win! If she says "just my name", then say "ok, what's your last name?" If she accuses you of forgetting her last name, assure her that you have a clinical condition that you need to hear last names twice before you remember them. DON'T TRY THIS FOR HER FIRST NAME. She won't believe you. That's just silly.

4. (for if 3 failed) Search her last name, then dig through everything until you find a picture of her, and you win! If there is no picture of her, tell her you couldn't find it, and ask her to friend you so you don't accidentally friend the wrong girl. If she refuses to friend you, accuse her of being a mole person, and let the world know of her evil plan to bury us all.

I'm pretty sure I don't know you, and I don't have a Facebook.

I don't deny being weird, though.

 

[Carbonyl]

Ask a mutual friend. Ask facebook. Give her a nickname. Ask her to facebook you.

Hm... is your name James, are you Jewish, and do you want to make video games?

 

[krellen]

No, no, and not as a realistic aspiration.

Well, according to my post, you're a lying *****, but I'll trust you.

For now.

Say you spelling is shit (your dyslexic even... well... maybe not that far) and you want to check how to spell her name. Combine it with something like adding her to Facebook

After she tells you just add it was mainly for her last name.

...if her name is something awkwardly common (ie Mary Smith)... bad luck mate

Nailed it! Just ask her how she spells her name, so you have it right in your phone. And if it does happen to be common, just tell her you've seen weird spellings so you wanted to be sure.

This is what I do and frequently lol, with people in class, since I don't refer to people by their name. The only way I could see this backfiring is if she asks "why how did you spell it?". I would personally recommend ask if she has you added on facebook. If yes, check there, and if not then tell her to add you and she will be the friend request.

"I don't think I have your name down right in my phone. Mind spelling it out?"

I've forgotten people's names before too.

 

[Olas]

This is what pronouns are for my friend. People rarely refer to each other by name when talking directly to one another. That's probably why you don't know her name in the first place.
If for some reason the situation arises where you do need to say her name, just fake a seizure.

 

[Westaway]

My manager taught me this.
"whats your name again?"
"...um... Lisa...."
"ohoho, not your first name, I meant last!"
Works everytime

Since you are British I am really not sure if you have ever seen Seinfeld (it's a very well known sitcom in America, But I really don't know how popular it is elsewhere). There's an episode where this exact thing happens to the main character Jerry, he starts dating a girl but can't remember her name, he learns that her name rhymes with a part of the female anatomy and he ends up guessing her name is Mulva. Very funny episode and since no on else mentioned it I thought I would.

As for an idea, asking her to spell it could end badly as well as anything involving your phone since you have a ? for her name. I suggest "bumping" into a friend and getting her to tell him it's pretty safe and fool proof as long as you don't let your friend live

 

[LetalisK]

I had a really clever way of getting her name involving you, a friend with a fake name, and his phone, but fuck it, just ask her. But do NOT apologize for not remembering her name.

 

[theswordsmn]

Hey I wanna add you on Facebook, how do you spell your full name? Every...time.

 

[Teh Jammah]

Pretend you're trying to be a street magician and 'practice your act' on her. Like so, darling/sweetie/whatever term of endearment works for you - pretend you don't know mem I wanna work on my act.

So ... what's your name?



, pick a card, any card

(get it wrong)

Aaah, I suck at magic.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

Get her to sign something.

 

[lion el jhonson]

No worries laddy i figured it out. I stole one of her essays she was writing, read the name and then told her she forgot it, but I picked it up for her.

I then asked her out, she said she was busy but then invited me to a party instead... so major mixed signals.
