papasmurf Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Greetings from Sydney everyone! Well I met an amazing woman the other night. We talked for hours, and exchanged numbers at the end of the night. I really want to call her but... I've forgotten her name!! I feel so embarresed - it's gone beyond the point where I can ask her. Given the personal nature of the things we were discussing, she's likely to hang up on me straight away. So - I need to somehow found out her name without directly asking her. The only info I have is the school she went to, suburb she lives in, and of course her mobile number. I have so far been searching the internet for about 3 hours with NO LUCK. Any ideas of how on earth I can track down her name?
ImKris Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 LOL DUH! Just ask her if her family or friends ever had any knicknames for her. She'll laugh, tell you and then you can just laugh back and say that you like the name and from now on that is what you'll call her. What do you think?
moimeme Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Call her number from a payphone at a time when she's unlikely to answer. With any luck, she'll have a message on it saying 'Hi, this is Squinella and I'm not able to answer right now' and then you'll know it's Squinella. Failing that (say she answers 'Hi, this is 555-1212') confess. Tell her you were so enthralled with the conversation and her that you actually forgot her name and beg her forgiveness. If you do it charmingly enough, you might manage not to offend her.
alphamale Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 how can you find out her name?? leave her a voice message and then in msg say you are going to send her a gift and need her to spell out her full name and address. when she calls back do not answer and just let her leave a message with the info. he he he. then you'll need to send her some flowers. ...i know, i am sneaky.
whichwayisup Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Yeah Alpha, you're sneaky alright...LOL, you totally made me laugh...Thing is...He better HOPE that she doesn't figure it out. Coz then- well, you're f*cked! she'll have a message on it saying 'Hi, this is Squinella and I'm not able to answer right now' and then you'll know it's Squinella. YOU could get a friend to pretend to do a survey... Do a search online with the phone number and see what names match...But I guess you've done that already. SHE COULD CALL YOU!!!!! Never know! Or...Come right out and just CALL her. Don't say her name. Wouldn't her CELL phone atleast say "hey you've reached.....Squinella??" LMFAO moimeme, that is f'ing hilarious!! Dying laughing here...
Mary3 Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 When I forget someones name I just met I ask them for their number and say How do you spell your name again ? lol it works

saywha Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 have a friiend call from a private number and when she picks up.... have the friend say "hello?" in a confused voice.. she'll probably respond with a hello in the same manner... they'll go back and fourth a couple of times... have your friend say whos this? in a polite but surprised manner.... then say sorry i got the wrong number then you call a couple days later.
poister Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I can personally vouch for the last one - it's worked for me. (Good to know there are other equally sneaky ppl out there!)
blue17 Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 lol the 'how do you spell your name?' when you're getting the number is a classic comeback to get her name if you forgot .
moimeme Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Yeah but if her name's 'Mary' or 'Jane' you end up looking like a complete knob.
blue17 Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 lol true.....never thought of that. The one time I tried that trick her name was Robyn. Thankfully it was a name that could be spelled a couple different ways
HeartSprinkles Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 What if she forgot your name and you are both in the same boat...? Hehehe...just teasing!!!
