Like, if a girl says something to the effect of, "I don't think I know your name."
Guys, it's a hint that you should introduce yourself!
This probably calls for some back story. The way my school has the dining hall set up, there is an upstairs buffet-style dinning area, and the downstairs has a mini-market selection of foods you can buy. In order to get up stairs you pay or swipe you card for meal plans downstairs. So, for somebody like me that is in there about 15 times a week you start to get recognized by some of the staff (also students). So, there is this one guy that is particularly social, and for awhile last quarter I was randomly seeing him all around campus. And we've exchanged small talk... I've mentioned playing Freelancer (which actually wasn't as difficult as it could have been because he knew a little about D&D), found out he' a history major, but I've never actually gotten his name.
So today I'm cashing out to get food from the mini-market area, and Mr. History is working. We chat while he's essentially ringing up my items.
Mr: History: Hey! I haven't seen you around lately. I've been seeing your roommates a lot though. Well, I can't really tell them apart so it may just seem like I'm seeing them more.
(Again my roommates are identical twins, however, Meli works at the upstairs part of the dining hall... but I digress)
Mr. History: I'm working on it though. Her's names... Mel-- Melody--- uh-- Melanie--
Me: Meli or Melinda, but you're close. Yanow... I don't think I know your name.
Mr. History: Yeah, I stopped wearing my name tag a while ago... (and he rambles off without actually giving me his name)"
