Springsummer Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Would you remember someone's name after a few years? if you are really attracted to the person even though you only met that person once? women's answers also welcome if you think you have the insight. I think I sort of know the answer too, but would like confirmation from this forum. THANKS! Edited June 20, 2016 by Springsummer Link to post Share on other sites

Toodaloo Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I asked some of the lads at work and yes. It may take them a while to get there but yes they would remember her name... They can remember girls that caught their eyes over 20-30 years on after just one night... Just saying! Link to post Share on other sites

Author Springsummer Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Question is too vague. I remember some of the women I went to high school with, some of them I barely talked to, and I am nearing my 20 year reunion. I have remembered names of women I really noticed, and forgotten others. Some people just make you feel something when you meet them. Sometimes that something isn't easy to forget. I meant someone you only met once, not people you spent years with.

Toodaloo Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I meant meeting, not one night stand. So did I. These are women that they did not sleep with and met randomly, spent some time in their company at a party, down at the pub or whatever, never to see them again... They did not kiss or touch but the men were so enraptured by their personalities and beauty they have never forgotten them. Its mostly their personalities that they remembered rather than looks... One night means a night, as in an evening, not having sex with them... Link to post Share on other sites

GunslingerRoland Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Memories a funny thing there are people who I met once years ago whose name I remember for no reason whatsoever, and there are people I went to school with for years, who I can't remember the name of for the life of me. In general though I find I remember things like names more than most people, a lot of people don't remember names at all. Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you want to know, does your bf/partner/husband remember this girl from way back when or has someone remembered you and it somehow seems a bit unbelievable? or something else?

Toodaloo Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Ok. Thanks for the confirmation. It's a closure. You are welcome. Personally I am with Basil on this. Haven't got a clue. The chaps I asked (all of them older) each reported one perhaps two women that they had met that they fell for hard but did nothing about for various reasons. Married at the time or seeing someone else, didn't have the guts to ask because they felt "unworthy"... One of them couldn't remember any women in particular but then he is a man that doesn't really have that much interest in women (or indeed people) in general... If you want to know if you will be remembered the answer is probably no if I am being blunt. The chaps also could remember faces but not names for a few women that had an effect on them in the past.

elaine567 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I guess some men will have remembered something about her only it wasn't her name if you get my drift... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
carnelian Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yes I would. The first name. Link to post Share on other sites
central Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Probably not. I often can't remember women's names even if I've had sex with them, after a few years. Unless the sex - and their personality - were extraordinary! I do remember the names of some of my very first teenaged crushes and girlfriends, but almost none from later on.

NTV Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I wouldn't. I suck at remembering names. There's folks I have worked with for years and see almost daily, and I couldn't tell you their name for the life of me. Being attracted to someone isn't gonna change that about me. So... I really think it depends on the person. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CarrieT Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I've slept with hundreds of people but I am hard-pressed to remember more than a dozen of their names... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Springsummer Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yes I would. The first name. Can I deduce from this that you are more of an emotional and heartfelt kind of person? Link to post Share on other sites
Author Springsummer Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yes, I know this person's name and even some of the conversations. I thought he was attracted to me coz he was super intense. Guess I was so wrong and jump to conclusion too much coz he doesn't remember me by my name now. but, but...now thinking back, I had a couple of super crushes, I don't remember their names now, I think I didn't back then either! so, the conclusion of this is actually no conclusion?

RecentChange Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Heh, count me as another who can't remember even the first names of everyone I slept with, and it hasn't been THAT many, but it's been that long ago for some. I am terrible about remembering names if it's not in a business setting (then I do the standard exercises of repeating the name, finding an association to remember) Someone I met at a party or a night on the town? Remembering their name is tuff. I don't think it's a guy or a girl thing, but an individual thing. Some people do a great job of remembering names and faces. I often "meet" people, only to embarrassingly realize we had met before because they knew my name! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I meant if you were attracted to her. Would you remember? Actually I'm a woman and thinking about if I remember a boy's name. I can't even remember the names of the cute guys I actually hung out with a handful of times. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Holy smoke! you can't even remember your 'gfs' name? wow, that's something! Yep, I've got a ONS who's name I can't remember. I *was* 30 years ago though. He has become "the guy I shagged on the beach" There's at least one short term boyfriend who's name I can't remember either. Link to post Share on other sites
