remember someone's name.
I have a pretty good memory but damn, when it comes to meeting people I can forget their names in about 10 minutes.

Anybody have any quick tips you use?

Keep asking them their names!

I have the same problem. I can remember a face of someone I saw 10 years ago for 1 minute but damn'd if I can remember names. Some say that if you repeat the name back right away it helps you to remember it. Never tested that myself.

No need to! Always use the word Dude!

Just Forgot his name = Hey Dude
Have not seen in a long time = Dude
Don't really like him = sup Dude
Think he is a great guy = Heeeey Dude

and so on and so forth! it werX 4 me half the time, I guess it is just a matter of how it comes out of your mouth! Be creative change it up a bit! Remember one thing though you gotta be a good actor with it!

ex. Guy dissapoints you = just put your head down and shake it, "dude" in a low tone! Chances are they won't even notice!

Hope that helps!
