girl who forgot my name

hey ppl,

theres this girl in my school, who, I have a feeling, likes me. Today though just after school, we were walking in opposite directions and she said "Hi" and then said some other guys name, I just said Hi and then she realised she had said the wrong name. She did say my name though after she remembered. I guess its the fact that I haven't introduced myself to her properly.

Does this mean that she doesn't like me or anything?

Means she doesn't know you...doubt she likes you, how do you know?

I doubt she dislikes you, but I would have thought if she was really interested she would have made the effort to find out your name.....perhaps she's just playing hard to get though!

I know it takes me a while to remember new people's names who i have only just met..and especially if its a name i have never heard before (obviously).

hmm i dont think that necessarily means she doesnt like you...it might just have been a genuine mistake/lack of concentration/brain just going blank..

well she did remember my name, but she had to think for a bit. I don't really know, maybe she was just tired or something.

btw, mad caddie, i guess i should have metioned how I knew about this, well first of all I kno she looks at me in class and one day while me and some other guys played basketball, she just came to defend me and basically rubbed her body all over me.

Start wearing a name badge.


Hahahaha! :rofl: Great answer!

To the OP, it is unlikely that she doesn't like you, I think that it's more likely that she just forgot your name temporarily by accident. I wouldn't worry too much about it, just try to get to know her better.

Goodluck.

Maybe she intentionally pretended to forget your name to make you take notice of her.


Worked, eh?

Ahh yes. Textbook "hard to get" tactics. :p:

I guess you'll just have to step up your efforts and get to know her properly to avoid such a situation in the future! :smile:

OMFG GET A LIFE!!!

"A girl talked to me does that mean she wants me to marry her?"

Why dont you just talk to her, shes bound not to know you if you havent talked to her!

Lol. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm terrible with names - calling my cousin Paul Peter, asking for Ashtray when I meant Ashley. Hell; in year 2 I had to turn round and ask the guy behind me what my name was so I could write it on some paper.

Everyone forgets names once in a while, although some people are probably a little worse than others...

To be honest, when I'm introduced to girls it's pretty much always the ones I like (as in like) more that I'm more likely to remember the names of. Just the other day I was introduced to a group of girls as part of some group activity in college: I can only remember the name of the best looking one!

To be honest she'd probably know your name if she liked you.

you probably haven't made a bad 1st impression since she wanted to talk to you. I think you should make a bit more of an effort to chat to her. don't worry i often forget names, and it doesn't mean that i won't decide later that i actually want to sleep with them. :smile:

Haha, that's nothing mate, I was once going out with this girl and forgot her name. Took about four days for one of her friends to use it when I was around.

- Yorkie.

EDIT: Okay, I'm a terrible boyfriend. But it was only that one time.
