What’s you name again?

Image this. You’ve been talking to a girl for weeks while also talking to other girls. you guys go on a date to like buffalo Wild Wings or something and in the middle of your meal you forget her name. Now I don’t know if you know but if you ask what a girls name is on a date after talking for a week your going to look like a bad person. And the date will most likely fail. So I feel if I was to ask this girl what her name was then I would not have a chance at a relationship cause that’s a bad impression and she could definitely figure out i’ve been talking to other girls from that.

So I couldn’t ask her just for the possibility of that. My hands were sweating and I was overthinking everything. It was like I was on wheel of fortune. I was slowly narrowing down her name letter by letter. And eventually I came to a general idea that maybe it started with a T and I know for certain there had to be a N in her name. So I had a genius idea. I just went to check my phone to see what her name was. Then plot twist! turns out my phone was dead. What was I gonna do? This is when the stress really started kicking in. This whole time we were having an amazing conversation and we were laughing and having a great time but deep down I was a ball of stress ready to break at the moment were I would possible need to say her name.

So I did the only thing a man on a date can do…. I just didn’t say her name. It was easy to talk to someone without saying their name. It was super duper easy. And I can say that after we definitely had a couple more dates and things were great… Also I did figure out her name. I wouldn’t date someone who’s name I forgot. That would be an amazing feat to pull off. Unless I just called them nicknames the whole time. Yeah now that I think about it It seems more possible than you might think, Someone could definitively have a relationship and not know the other persons name. You could easily just do nicknames. That’s actually amazing. I guess Its just weird to think about how If i asked this girl what her name was I could of missed out on one of the funniest and most loving relationships i’d ever been in. I could of looked like a fool and gone home sad and alone. Its these small little things that could break a relationship. One sentence is all it could take to ruin you’re impression on someone.
