As we walk up to Dans school there is quite a long drive, I say hiya to people I know. Theres my mates sister and another girl who used to live by me.

Anyway last week or maybe the week before I was doing the drive walk and a girl said "ay up John how you doing?" I said "oh hiya, I'm fine thanks how are you?", "I'm fine, see you later" she said.

Same again the next day and for the rest of the week and continuing all this week. I see her every morning and we say hi to each other.

My problem is she knows me, knows me quite well it seems but I haven't got a fucking clue who she is. I have gone through all my mates mates on FB to see if she is on there so I can get a name but she isn't.

Its gone on too long now for me to say "whats your name again?" and most mornings I am even fucking looking for her so we can say hi to each other, any normal person would keep their head down and walk past, not me, I search for her, I make eye contact as soon as possible so she HAS to say hi. What in the name of christ is wrong with me?

I haven't slept with her of that I'm sure, I am fairly sure I didn't go school with her but you know, people change so maybe I did.

It will get worse in September because Dan will go into the part of the school where her kids are so I will have to stand in the playground each morning with her and she may ask me thinks about stuff that I don't remember :(

How the fuck can I get out of this one without looking like a total numpty?

Try talking to her and getting past the hi stage. You can still be icognito, ask her random questions and see if her replys jog your memory if not no worries you have a new friend :D

tell her you're suffering from a mild amnesia after a DIY accident?

Describe her to one of the teachers or another parent and see if they can identify her for you.

Just ask her. I've been in this situation plenty of times, I just apologise, ask, and then get on with whatever.

I can't just ask her, its gone on too long plus I'm maybe a little scared of her.

I can't ask any of the other mums because they would take that opportunity to drop me right in the shit......because they know I would do the same :D

I am smiling at her and being really happy like I have found a long lost friend everytime I see her, how the fuck can I just say "I am ever so sorry and I know I treat you like you are my sister every morning but would you mind terribly telling me who the fuck you are?"

ARRRGGGGGGGHHH!

Get your Son to do it, kids can get away with asking random questions and seem all innocent about it.

not enough fun!

follow her to her house, wait till she goes inside, sneak up and read the name by the bell, turn round, meet hubby, inquire if he's aware he's a Geoff Capes lookalike, get in fight, trash garden, get arrested, explain to Samm......then......tell us!

Just suck it in and ask her "Where do we know each other from?"
It's a moment of embarrassment and you'll quickly get past it.

I had it happen to me as well. This Nicole Kidman lookalike comes up to and says "Hi!"
I didn't have a clue who she was but she knew stuff about me. I had to ask who she was and when she said she was from my 1st form class, my jaw dropped. She had TOTALLY changed and I would never have recognised her.

I puked in the car park one morning as I was dropping Matthew off at nursery and now other parents are reluctant to speak to me. That would sort the problem.

Just carry on as you are and you'll figure it out eventually. Ask her if she's on facebook and if she says yes claim that searching for her name gets too many results and get her email address to search for. Facebook is the best thing ever when you don't know someone's name.

Thats so scary you said that, I watched as she walked off today and I was going to follow her to see where she went. Then I thought how the fuck would that help me. :(

I am thinking of spazzing out or something so no one speaks to me. Best idea so far Wijlet. I don't like speaking to people really, infact I quite hate people so why I find it important to speak when its parents at my sons school god only knows.

Yes I may try that but it seems a bit creepy, she may think I want to bone her or something.

Oh god oh god oh god.

I agree about just asking her where you know each other.

Just say, "Look, I've got a dreadful memory, but where do we know each other from?".

Yes whereas hunting her out every morning to make eye contact and smile at her is giving her no vibes about that at all.

I think you should just ask her mate, you never know she could turn out to be a gardening and diy expert.

Who's going to tell Trem she's the girl we all chipped in to hire to freak him out?

if you had puked on a child, the parents would never speak to you again :/ double win! :D

I know you like you know yourself. *cackle*

remember: puke directly in their little faces. nobody will talk to you again. garenteedles!

Tell her Samm thinks she's a hottie! more double win!!!11

The answer lies surely with Dan, find a way to get him to ask her abruptly like kids do.


"WHO ARE YOU THEN!?". She'll think it's cute or something.

Oh this is actually great advice.

I didn't know one girls name(next morning...i know!) so i turned to her and with a smile said "Ah hi there! I'm blabla!" and offered a hand.

She replied with "Nice to meet you, i'm blabla", shook my hand and the "joke" was over.

Don't ask how i managed to not only meet a girl with the same nam, but a name like blabla! :D

I forget who at least a quarter of the people I meet are when I meet them again.

It comes from the bike shop, I think I just had people overload.

Or maybe I'm just not bothered :)

My name memory is shit so I also have a problem of people talking to me, full convo style, and I dont know their name.
I have found it doesnt matter though. Instead of saying hi 'name' you just say hi, and cya later. Once youre talking you dont need to know their name :)

I get on very well with one of our neighbours to the extent that we stop and chat for a while, we borrow tools from each other and so on.... but I can't remember his name!!

I know he's a Jim or Bob or Fred or such, ie one syllable traditional name, but I'm fucked if I can remember - he is now known as 'fella' :D

Might of cracked it.

I saw the girl who lived by me when I took Dan to the ball pit after school. I described the woman and she has had a look and said who she thinks it is and it makes sense if it is here.

Anyway I have sent a friend request on FB to who we think it may be so I will know more if she accepts and I can look at some pics.

It is still really bothering me :(

Just ejaculate in your hand, then when you say "Hi" put your hand out. Once she asks what's on her hand, simply reply "see, I knew we fucked when we were kids".

Tell her about your bird problem ;o

I have so pwned the birds now, they stay the fuck away since I drew one of them dead on a balloon.

She hasn't accepted my friend request yet :(
