Some of you may have seen that I was in That London on Thursday night. Well, I had a very nice time, the free beer flowed, the free food was scoffed, the we cracked on with the fun. Mosey-ed over to he dance floor, started to throw some shapes. This shape throwing attracted the attentions of a pretty young lady, whom joined me in the shape throwing. Aaaanyway, more beer was drunk, more shapes were thrown, one thing led to another 😉 and we swapped numbers, and went our separate ways.

Fast forward to the next morning and I am thinking of putting my head in a vice, just to distract me from the omghorrible hangover I have developed. As a vice isn't forthcoming I check my phone, remembering it has an extra number in it, so was going to text my new friend to check she got home ok and how she was feeling.

Except I can't. Not because the number isn't there, it is. It just doesn't have a name attached to it. Can I remember her name? Whadda you think? 3 fails as I see it.

1. Not ending the night with her and I in he same room.
2. Not putting her name in my phone properly, with her number.
3. Getting too drunk to remember a persons name!!!!

So my question, I had fun with my new friend and would like to stay in touch, do I;

1. Text her, come clean, apologise and hope she doesn't think I'm a ****.
2. Text her, and try and tease a name out of her without her cottoning on....
3. Accept I've been a pillock and blown it, hope she texts me, starting with 'Hi it's ?????'
4. ?

I fully accept I deserve a ribbing for this. Carry on.....

after a couple of messages send her a link to your facebook with a "why don't you add me" and hope she's not using a psuedonym?

I realise this is a very 2007 approach.

text her and sign off with your name, Tom. hope she responds similarly.
or make up a pet name for her, and continue to address her by it until she gives up her real name.

Is there still a facility whereby you can send a voicemail without having to ring?

Then switch your jellybone off and hope she rings back and leaves you a voicemail back starting "Hey, it's Victoria, but during the day, I'm actually [deep voice]Victor[/deep voice]".

What to do - phone her number, but hang up long before she has the chance to answer it. She calls you back - ask who it is.

Job done.

Job done.

And if she doesn't ring back, keep calling, Don't stop. Ten every fifteen minutes should be about tolerable. Won't put her off at all.

At least you avoided the situation my 'friend' had a few weeks back.
Met young lady, had night fun back at his place, woke up - no idea of her name. She hopped into shower. He, being a smart boy got her purse and was looking for a driving licence to get name. She reappeared mid rifle of said purse. At that point it really is a no win situation
"Hello sorry no I am not stealing your money"
"I can't remember your name so was looking through your purse"
God I laughed. He was and is mortified.
On the bright side they are still seeing each other and she introduces him as "The guy that went through my purse and stole all my money"

Many thanks chaps! Think ill go with the text and sign with my name approach, then if that back fires i'll come clean.

The thought has just occurred that she may not remember my name either...

Google has not been its usual, helpful self 🙁 neither have others that were at the do (was hoping for messages saying they saw me with the mystery lady, no such luck).

Edit. Matt_oab, that actually crossed my mind before I posted, think I need a break :-s

You've only text once? As mentioned previously, lots of texts, followed by incessant calling. A genitalia picture will clinch it & she'll be at the asda pharmaceutical counter before you know it answering difficult questions.

Sorry, I [b]started[/b] texting an hour ago, with a picture of my manbits, then from lots of different angles, then I called but when she answered I just did my smooth and mysterious heavy breathing trick.

Better?

and

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L-o-l-a Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy wont you come home with me
Well I'm not the worlds most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Ok so a little update. The 'lol' was not her name (oddly) but she did tell me her name. And it was a good 'lol' rather than a fat chance one, which coincidentally is the same likeley hood of me posting her name here ;).

So good was the 'lol' in fact, plus my subsequent charm, charisma and modesty, we are arranging to see each other again. Though this could be problematic with work commitments from my side and that she lives dahn South, and I live up int 'North.

Let's see where this goes eh??!

Theres gratitude.

Houns to the thread, please, houns to the thread. That's when all the follow up advice will start.

I suspect he'd recommend making this distance thing work by doing things like wearing a leotard with her face on, asking her to go on chat roulette and scrolling through till she finds you. Make sure she knows it's you by having lots of balloons with her face on around you too.
