Option 1
sweetie
honey
pumpkin
etc.

then, just repeat whatever the priest says when you get married*



*or have a look at her id/car rego/bill/etc. sometime discreetely. she's not going to appreciate that you don't know her name.

Option 2

"How do you spell your name?"

"It's S-A-R-A-H of course"

"No, you muppet, your surname."

Friend ::dials girl's number from his phone::
Girl: Hello
Friend: Hey, who is this? I found this number in my phone.
Girl: Oh, it's xxxx ldo.

Only backfire is if you get a really smooth friend to do this and she's smitten.

Simple question for you guys. I met a girl at a bar the other night. I'm incredibly drunk, probably hovering around being blacked out, and start hitting it off with this girl towards the end of the night. We leave the bar together in search of food. Eventually she gives me a ride home and we make out for a little while in front of my house. The problem is I inputed her number in my phone and dialed it rather than entering it as a new address with her name. When I woke up on Sunday, blank, I realize I have no clue what her name is. From what I remember she seems worth calling and trying to hang out with her again.

Note: Her voice mail doesn't contain her name.

The most sure fire route is to get a friend to call on your behalf, ask for *random name here*, when she says he has the wrong number, ask her to clarify her name. But if you call the same day, she might realise if she's smart.

A way for you personally to do it is to call the number, and say "hey liz (or your sisters name, or a cousin, or whatever), I just deposited the money in your account". She'll say its not liz, you ask who it is, she'll say her name, then you play off the "ohhh [censored] I dialed the wrong number, how funny, look I'll call you back in five!".

Hey guys,

Have any of you dated or married or whatever with a girl who is significantly less intelligent than you?

How important is having comparable intelligence levels in a long term relationship?

For example, if your girlfriend was really nice to you, had a great personality, and was physically attractive, but she is not as smart as you, how would that impact things? Where does intelligence rank on the totem pole?

wtf noobs

i go for days w/o calling anyone by their name

just don't say her name

"hi, this is bob, just calling you to see if you want to....."

see... no name

when you meet her in person,

"hi, it's nice to see you again"

see... no name

the funny thing is i had a friend who called someone by the wrong name for 6 months, he wasn't corrected.... it was a running joke w/ everyone else... funny stuff

[Hobbs.]

j, slightly worried if she pulls out a simple name.

m, I think this could work although I like Atrurius' idea a little better of having a friend call and ask for x and when she says no this isn't her he asks, oh who is this...

How about something via txt? Maybe me sending her a text saying I had fun the other night and signing my name at the end hoping she responds doing the same?

"k-i-m"

"oh, thanks kim"

"wtf, that's my surname.... do you even know my name you drunk [censored]?"

from volume one (regarding getting shot down repeatedly and then hitting on more girls):
"As for the flips, I think we're trapped in a level situation so I'll try to clear it up. Next flip is 50/50 no matter how many flips you have lost before."

when do you start to think that the coin is rigged and it's not just fluctuation? IIRC, the thread mentioned getting shot down 100 times in a row, but doing it again because the 101st time is 50/50. I may need to host a 21 game and invite you all.

reply without the gambling analogies:
if you get shot down repeatedly, take a look in the mirror and see if it's something about your approach/appearance/reputation/whatever that's turning off the girls. eventually, you have to figure that it's you ad not them.

Perhaps getting an email address or something of that sort would work?
