Learn how to remember peoples' names

Shortly after making my first friend here, he invited me to a “Prom Party” and arranged a date for me. I went and had a good time, but didn’t spend a lot of time with my date, as he was quite popular. Whenever someone would ask me who my date was to that party, I couldn’t tell them, and felt so ashamed, like i was ungrateful or uncaring, neither of which were true. But tonight I went to a dinner/meeting, and my date to Prom was there, and I remembered his name, Elliot. Maybe because so many people who know him have told me his name since the last time I saw him. But at least I remembered his name, even though he tried to make me think I called him by the wrong name.

Silly Elliot.

Dylan: cutie that I sometimes work with…good conversation about the furniture he builds…sassy…remembers my name.

David: Dylan’s younger brother…plays in a band.

Karen: cute, blonde, engaged to someone I don’t know yet…can’t remember my name either.

Yay! I met/re-met all these people while drinking at a bar, and I still remember their names!

I’m trying to get better at this, but I have to stop meeting people when I am drunk.
