I've been meeting a lot of girls lately. Sometimes I remember their names, sometimes I don't. This has lead me to wonder whether it's better to let them know that you remembered their name, or to act like you forgot even if you actually didn't.
On the one hand, remembering a girl's name might help with building rapport, but on the other, it might make you seem overly interested.
Obviously if you spent 30 minutes talking to someone, you should remember their name (and probably get their phone number too, but I'm still working on that), but what if you talked to them for 5-10 minutes before they had to leave, and you run into them again a few days later?
