I'm a little face blind and a little name blind, so one trick I've used for years is to ask someone to remind me of their email address. (How do you spell your alias again?)
- lathiat 9y agoI’ve heard a similar trick about asking for their name but then saying oh I meant your last name.
- wpietri 9y agoHah! One of my tricks is to introduce people. "Hey, have you two met?" Often they haven't, so they'll then say their names.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoThe standard format in the UK for an introduction is usually considered something like: 1 : have you two met? (2, 3 indicate no) 1 to 2 : this is 3, she's a number too 1 to 3 : this is 2, he's prime I guess it depends on local factors.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoYou try to aim for an informal introduction. Get two people close together, nudge them towards each other, say the "have you two ever met?" line, and just leave it to them to exchange greetings.
- wpietri 9y agoSame here. But if I have forgotten a name or failed to recognize somebody who obviously recognizes me, I'll do the first step and hopefully the second step, and then pause. From there, people self-introduce (something they do all the time if there's nobody to introduce them).
