I once dated a woman for several weeks but could never remember her name.  And, it is not that I was dating other women at the time, it is just that I could not remember her name.

I would practice saying her name for hours in an effort to get it engrained in my mind.  But, to no avail.  So, I would focus and when I was sure that I would get it right, I would address her by her name.  Of course, it sounded forced and unnatural, but at least I got it right.

Unfortunately, now that I have her name down pat, I am no longer dating her.  Now, my fear is that I will call my new girlfriend by the name of my old girlfriend.

Dating is so complicated.
