A guy calls me a wrong name!?

[celine]

This leaves me in a paradox as I will never bother asking a girl out or really give it ever much effort unless I like her first. There has to be something to motivate my initiative. I think you people are giving this girl bad advice, but what do I know.

He could have forgot her name and still likes her if a conversation took place after and this was a quick meeting, but after weeks and many chances for him to bother to remember a name...come on, even a little spark of interest would make him remember, unless he really doesn't want to waste his brain space like you said even remembering people he likes...because he has a brain the size of a typical peanut.

we do see things eye to eye...hahahahaha

no..i took effort to know him...i know his full name..i asked about his interest...his lunch..his family...

From what I've seen, girls seem to put more effort in immediately learning all these things about a guy than the guys do. It also depends on the type of guy, though.

For most relationships to start..there do have to be sparks. But really, how you feel about a person in the very beginning doesn't matter that much. What matters is how your feelings toward each other develop over time.

Oh so you guys talk occasionally? He's either really shy or not that into you.

I don't think you quite understand quite yet.
That's the way YOU do things. I've been there before with crushes. I'd go out of my way to find out they're last names, middle names, where they live, I'd even look them up in the phone book to get their number. I was interested in how many pets they had, how many siblings, what music they listened to. And all that, sometimes without even saying one word to them.

I call it obsessive now.

Now, I'm not saying you're obsessive, and I'm not saying you're not. But I'm just trying to make you at least consider or accept the fact that a guy may not necessarily do what and think the way you do about the same thing.

Because to me it sounds like you're judging his attitude based on your own methods of thinking.
This isn't even about that guy forgetting your name anymore, but in general, I advise you to stop and remove yourself from your own thought process when empathising with others.

Now, with this guy. It is possible for hm to develop a crush. People don't always fall for someone on first meeting. The most meaningful relationships I've had were not 'crush at first sight' things. And if you don't give these a chance, you might really miss out .

This girl said she only introduced herself by name to him ONCE.
That's why I find this ridiculous and childish.

Yikes!!! The OP would hate me.

Wait... did she say she asked him about his lunch?
That's odd sounding.
Celine... elaborate! I'm curious as to the type of conversations you two have LOL!

I thought this was over posts ago. She decided that he's not that into her. Now I'm more interested in whether OV will remember Celine's name.

well...yes...he just said he did't like food at cafeteria..and he will cook something himself..so after lunch, i asked that "odd sounding" question..

so come on, guys...

here are what we talked about:
- his paper
- his family
- fresbee
- school assignment
- his work
- weather

and
- his name, of course (darn it!!)

all about him!!

btw, he is 27..he is old enough to remember a girl's name if he likes her...

so i am done with him...

[shh!]

Yeah, spare him the drama and move on...

[trixie20]

he may have done it on purpose? maybe he doesnt want you to know hes interested

[thesameguy]

I have to agree with only-virgins here. If it's a girl I'm interested in, I'd remember it even if I was told only once.

Maybe he did meet a few people at once and got the names confused. I'd defend him on that. BUT if he wasn't sure or didn't know your name, he would have made a plan to find out. It's not the end of the world though...

Seriously, I loved a girl one time. With in one day I knew her first and last name and 12 years later I still know it. This is hog wash, he has less interest in her than she believes him to have. Sorry. It is just the way it is, unless you told him your name once fast and continued on to some conversation..he may have lost it during the conversation ..but after weeks...nope...lack of interest.

I agree with these two posts. I'm a guy by the way. If I like a girl then I would remember her name or at least try to find out by asking other people or just go up to her and ask her what her name was.

Is this some kind of a trick question? Only thing she ever mentioned was Celine as her name. Though curse you for making me re-read the entire thread to make sure
