Remember Her Name in the First Shot
Sometimes the easiest, little things to slip-up are often very crucial, such as remembering the name of the woman you just met. Remembering a girl's name is super key and also very easy to do. Nothing impresses a girl more than remembering her name after hearing it only once and then using it in conversation a few minutes later. There is nothing that can kill your game more than if a girl asks you what her name is and you don’t know it. It’s rare, but it’s happened to me plenty of times.
SIDENOTE—If you do forget her name and she pulls the "oh yeah, whats my name?" routine on you, you only have one shot at dodging this bullet. It rarely works, but here's a trick that has worked on a couple occasions for me. When she asks you what her name is, give her the "of course I know, I can’t believe you just asked me that" look and just say….. "Sally?.... no…. Jessica?..... No wait a minute that was my last girlfriend……Bertha? Yup, you look like a Bertha, Bertha it is". Continue to call her Bertha like it is a fun little game you are playing that you won’t let go of and eventually she’ll tell you her name or you will hear it. Even after that, call her Bertha to seal the lie. More than likely she will see right through this little game, but never give up, right? In my experiences the girl usually reacts in one of two ways, “seriously, what is it?” (and gets really demanding for an answer), or she will just resign and say, “you don’t know”.

If you forget her name, it’s not a complete show stopper, but it certainly doesn’t earn you the brownie points you can get for showing that you remembered her name. And for god’s sake, make sure you don’t ever put your penis inside of a girl before know her name for sure. Nothing will end some hot monkey love like her asking you what her name is in the middle of it and you coming up with a befuddled expression on your face. Yeah, it’s super rare, but pretty traumatic to Mr. Pee Pee when it does happen.
Ok, the key to remembering a girl's name from the get-go, even the names of all the people in her group, is actually taking the time to commit their names to your long term memory. See
this wikipedia article for more detail on long term and short term memory.
It takes roughly 30 seconds of rehearsal to transfer something from your short term memory to your long term memory. Association helps speed this along. For example, when you hear a person's name, do these simple things. Say the person's name at least three times aloud if you can, for example, "Hi Rachel, I have a cousin named Rachel, how do you spell it? It’s hard to forget another Rachel.” There you’ve said it three times aloud, all the while repeating it over and over in your head to focus on remembering it.
If you can relate her name with some outlandish mental picture you’ll remember it much easier. Let's say Rachel has monstrous jugs. Picture a stripper with double D’s topless, but her boobs are actual jugs that have the name Rachel written on them. Anything to that effect will help your chances of remembering her name.
Spend some quality time trying to do these things and remember them. You won’t look like an idiot. Women will think you are sincere… seeing as you actually give a shit to remember their name.
If the girl is in a group of people, go around the group finding out everyone's name. Once you have gone around the group, go back through them pointing and saying outloud, "Ok, let me make sure I’ve got it…." Point at each person and say his or her name. If you can’t remember, it's not a big deal. It’s ok to not remember at first, but it’s not ok to act like you did and not know it later.
If you're talking to just one girl, and there isn’t a group, DON'T do the recap. It will be much more impressive if you use her name in a conversation later. Wait a while, but in the middle of the conversation spring it on the girl. Like, “Rachel, you are an amazing girl you know that?” After you drop the first name bomb on them, take as many opportunities as you can to call them by their first name. This is a good way to help them relate and bond with you.
How many times have you been in a store or a restaurant where they actually remembered your name and how impressive was it? Same concept applies here. It bonds you to the girl and puts a personal feel between the two of you. These are the building blocks to the foundation of the house, you know the one where you're going to screw her eyes out later. Girls are a little better at initially remembering our names, so it’s not so impressive if they remember your name. But if you can remember theirs, it will impress them for sure.
There you go young slayer of Virtue, impress them, build a personal bond with them, and then seal the deal. Godspeed.
