What to do if you forget someone's name

We have all found ourselves in the awkward position of forgetting a person's name. And even worse this has happened as soon as we were introduced to him.

So how do we get out of the predicament? There are several ways to keep from forgetting the name of the person you are talking to:

- Ask him to write his number on your phone. It's the best way to find out someone's name without having to ask. Usually, your caller will write their first name, last name, and phone number. So, you will keep in touch and you will definitely not forget his name again.

- Another solution is to ask for the email address. Most people use their name as an email address, so it's an extremely simple way to get the information you want. Doing so will also show that you are interested in staying in touch in the future.

- The problem is if the name does not exist in the email address. In this case, there will definitely be other information, such as where he works, that will help you find the person's name.

- Another idea is to introduce the person whose name you forgot to a friend. At a party or event, everyone is waiting for recommendations. Find a friend and start recommending him to the person whose name you do not remember. Reflexively, he will answer himself before you have time to say anything.

- Another way to find out the name you forget is as soon as the conversation is over, just ask a friend who knows him. At a party or event, there will definitely be a common acquaintance.

- Another solution, the safest, is to ask for his card or at the end of the conversation you remind yourself of your name, so that he can tell you his own.
