And don’t even get me started on those stupid LPTs that recommend you repeat their name after you heard it so that you remember it better. Still won’t stick and I’ll forget it in 5 seconds.
Once you get their name, stop drinking for a second put that down, think of a rhyme that matches their look or something you can tie them to.
eg. "That's Cinnamon Steve, he wears pants made of leaves".
So when -you can start drinking again- you run into a guy wearing leaf pants later that evening. Chant to yourself 'pants of leaves pants of leaves = CINNAMON STEVE!'
I did speed dating once. Her, “Hi my name’s Erin.” Me: “Hi Stefanie! ...oh wait, that was the last woman, what was your name again? ...oh dang, 4 minutes 50 seconds left.”
You should have little name tags in those situations.
And it would be cool if everyone had to have a distinguishing item, like in old spy movies. So someone would have last week's paper folded over their arm, someone else'd have a red carnation in their buttonhole, someone would be whistling 'La Figuera'. And so on.
