WE'VE MET?!?

So I've had this situation happen quite often lately.
I'll meet someone that I think I've never met before and then they reply, "we've met"

SHIT
My heart drops and my usually quick mind scrambles for where the hell to place them from my past.
And i'm just sitting there looking like a complete asshole.
Because I forgot them completely

Now I usually have a pretty great memory.
If we've had a class together, have had a few conversations, maybe saw each other in passing, I know you, sort of.
But if I've only met you once, in passing, years ago, and I haven't talked to you since.
Then I may have very sadly forgotten you, where we met and at what time.

I am very sorry.
I am not perfect.

So this is usually what happens.
I'm out, flirting and some guy will come up and we will start talking and then he'll say "you know we've met"

And its just bad.
Because they totally remember me.
But I don't remember them.

I was pretty anti social freshman year of college and so I've probably met a lot of people once, that I haven't talked to since.
And somehow they always remember me.
It's just odd.


So just as a PSA to all past, present and future people I will encounter.
If we do not chat again after we've met the first time, I may not remember you.
I'm sorry if you remember me and what I did freshman year and the people I dated, and I don't remember your freaking name.
This is just how I roll.

Sometimes I forget things.
I'm working on it.
Or you know you could always just say "Hi" again after all these years and remind me.

That would work too.

So i'm sorry if we've met.
I will TRY  to remember you.
REALLY going to try here.
I promise.
