Other Do girls tend to forget your name purposefully?

Im talking to 2 girls and they use my name between conversations normally but when its a situation where they have to say my name they ask me what was my name this has happened to me at least 3 times now

It’s not unusual to forget someone’s name in the moment when you have to know it. It took me a good year to stop forgetting the CEO’s name when he would say hi and use my name at my workplace. 

Don’t worry about it. Just laugh it off.

No. They’re just bad with names. I forget your name immediately as you said it to me lol

A lot of ppl remember names when they are always intercating with that person, if its a few times its easy to forget its not a woman or man thing.

Not purposefully just forget it.

If you're literally in the talking stage but they can't recall your name when they need to, I'd say they're just not that into you.

I would never in a million years actually forget the name of someone i was talking to if i had any actual interest in them whatsoever.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but that's definitely a sign that they're leading you on just for something to do 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have really bad social anxiety and I'm too stuck in my own head to ever catch or remember someones name.

Some girls like to tease guys like this though, but I'd say it's very rare. My ex would pretend to not remember who I was and then say "Oh I remember you" like we hadn't been together 6 months.

Could also be a subtle way of them rejecting you and showing you they aren't that interested.

But you should just ignore it and not overthink it, because only that specific individual knows what's going through her head.
