How to solve the embarrassment when you meet an acquaintance at dinner but can't remember the name?

When we eat out, we occasionally meet some familiar people, but because of too long time, we may not remember the names for a while. At this time, if the name is forcibly called, there may be some embarrassment. To avoid embarrassment at this time, we should avoid the topic of names. When we meet acquaintances, just go up and say hello, and never call names. If you really have to, you can also use other pronouns, such as friends and old classmates.

1. Use pronouns to address

When we meet a friend, we can't remember his name, so don't call him. Let's just call them old classmates or old friends. If two people knew each other very well at the beginning, they can also be called Lao Tie or old buddy. As long as we have to open each other's names, we can alleviate this embarrassment. You can consider adding the other person's friends when you leave, and let the other person type the comments directly. As long as you use some language skills, you can avoid this topic. Sometimes the other party will forget our names, which can give both sides a step down and avoid embarrassment.

2. Old friends don't have to care

If they are particularly familiar friends, we can just tell each other directly, and there is no need to pretend to hide ourselves. As your good friend, the other party will definitely not care about these things. And I haven't seen each other for many years, and it's normal to forget my name. Now I can't remember who my friends were in primary school. When I go home on holidays, I won't be particularly embarrassed when I see it. Generally, they will directly ask each other what they are doing, or whether they have eaten. If you really can't remember it, just go home and look at the yearbook or ask someone else. There's no need to feel embarrassed.

3. Divided by gender

Even if we don't remember each other's name, we will remember their relationship with ourselves, whether they are classmates or friends. If both parties are male, just call them buddies directly. If both parties are female, you can also call them dear or sisters directly. If you really can't, it's okay to call me brother or sister directly.
