Do you remember all your old boyfriends name? And what about guys that you had dates with, but didn’t actually take things further with?
I’m so bad! I can’t remember most of their names! OK, I did “see” a lot of guys in my youth, but still, I think it’s a bit shocking.
I was conducting an interview today in the restaurant in our building, and noticed a guy (a visitor to the building… he had a tag on) staring at me. When we finished and we walked past the table I realised…. oh shite… I dated the guy!!
My colleague laughed at me when I told him how I knew the guy, and the fact that I could not remember his name AT ALL!
LOL!
On a more serious note… if you’re interested in reading about my failed attempt of getting photos of a squatter camp, read here… I don’t usually link from this blog like this, but I couldn’t decide where to post it.
Oh crap, I’ve edited this because I’m having second thoughts about my other post. Maybe I shouldn’t have said what I did. I might just chicken out and delete most of it, and leave the nicer bits.

Oh that is so classic! I’m guessing he probably remembered you
I think there are a few guys I probably can’t remember the names of. I’m terrible with names to begin with anyway.

Just read the pad blog and I don’t see anything wrong with it. You didn’t say anything that was untrue, did you? Then leave it up- it’s part of your life in SA and it’s good for those of us on the outside to see the other side. All we ever get to see it what the media tell us. I’m not knocking SA or how it’s portrayed or even saying that life isn’t better for some people. All I’m saying is that there are problems in SA just like there are problems in every other country! Whew, a bit of a jibbering rant- sorry.

I WISH I couldn’t remember any of their names! Blech;)

lol I think I remember like 1 of them, the guy I went out with til I met J… his name was Paul and he was a (crap!) DJ. Why I bothered with such an idiot I will never know!

I don’t even remember the guys, nevermind their names! I was a bit fancy-free in those days…
Your other post is fine and I think you should leave it. That’s the reality of our life. One of my blogging friends posted a harrowing account of being hijacked last week.

I’ve decided to leave my post up.

You are not alone.
Once I just totally forgot a guy, name and face, he was very offended that I did not remember him at all.
Unfortunately I have seen him a couple of times since and now I’ll never forget. I was really embarrassed.

I remember way more names than I would like, but not their last names. You know, the detail I could use to figure out whatever happened to them? Can’t remember it. Anybody know what happened to Josh? How about Chico? And Mike?

I am so bad with names and details. My husband remembers everything from our early days, I feel awful having to fess up to not remembering really romantic things…blogging has made remembering easier

I remember each and every first and last name. Phone numbers even!

I didn’t date that much….and I remember pretty much all their names . I really am a squishy romantic.
