Do you always easily remember "all" persons you met?

I can remember persons but not that easy. Everytime, everywhere i can easily meet new persons and their face sometimes the same one another.
For some reason, almost of them have unique name, so its become difficult for me to remember them all. If i walk around the city, i found some persons will smile and easily call me, while i just able to say "hi...." and smile. I am so shy, i forgot his/her name. But i love to talk and joke even only for a while with that person.
How about you, do you easily remember persons you met?

Nope. It would be great if I can remember all the people that I have met. I think only computer can remember such images.
But there are some kind of people whose names i try hard to memorise or keep in my memory so that the next time I meet them I don't get into embarrassing situation. But those people whom I may never meet again though I wish i could remember it simply is not possible so I don't put much effort trying to remember either their face or their names.

You got me on this. This is really quite my problem coz i have this failure in remembering and recognizing the person i've met. So, an absolute shame arise when on the next day we see each other again and there, i forgot what's his/her name..waaaaa. Then i just ask agai for his/her name and apologize for having this reality. I think it's not that hard to understand for people.

Not really all of them, probably 80-90 percent of those people that I met before is recognizable but it is impossible for me to remember their names. When someone is about to be acquainted to me, I really don't mind to ask their names or make myself too informed of their names because I know I'll forget it the next hour hahaha.. I'm bad in names honestly.

I have a camera phone and sometimes, what I do is I take a picture on the spot, and then save their name together with their picture into my phone that's one way I use to help me.
However, normally, i don't have any problem remembering peoples names, unless I go to a event where all the people are new and I end up meeting 50+ more persons at one event!
Good luck using these strategies, please let me know how they work out for you. :)

No not all the time. If I see them enough then I begin to remember but usually first hand I often forget their names.

I usually give the disclaimer that I'll remember their face but not their name because I'm horrible with names and apologize there for it before it happens that way when it happens they automatically give me their name.LOL!!

Once I meet a person, I usually remember their face for ever. I still remember friends I had in preschool and kindergarten, but I'm terrible with names.xD

I don't have an outstanding memory with names and faces, but I don't have a poor one either. I remember people on the average - I don't remember much the people I've just been introduced to, and I remember people that I've known with more than just an introduction (i.e. I've small-talked with them).

No..i don't remember hardly anyone that i talk to or see in the store there really has to be something very special about them before I can remember them...I mean if i see someone in a store chances are that by the time that I walk out of the store I would have done forgotten half of hte people that i talked to in there...so its really hard for me to remember people
