Remembering Faces

[freefalling]

I can't remember faces.

I met a girl last weekend who I was attracted to and I am almost sure that she will be back at the same bar this weekend too. The problem is I can't for the life of me remember what she looks like. All I remember is that she had dirty blond hair and an eyebrow ring.

Are there any tricks to remembering peoples' faces? Does anyone know them? I thought it was because I never make eye contact, but even with eye contact I am still blanking out the faces.

According to a CIA manuel of sorts they say connect the name with something about their the make up of their name. Such as, Armstrong, visualize the person with strong arms. Then connect the mental picture with the hint to remeber the name.

Like, wow... Really, wow...

Never thought somebody would be able to stump me...

I don't even have an opinion on this. I learned how to do this when I was a little baby. I learned this before I knew what learning was!

This is just scary. I want to know how babies learn though.

Um, advice?

Pretend that you know every girl that you talk to until you see her again.
