Back in uni, I was going on a first date with someone I only interacted with online. About 10 seconds into the date I realized I’d never heard their name before and had no idea how to pronounce it. So I tried to play it cool and just not say it.
They noticed and about 30 min into the date they called me out on it. I gave it my best guess and thankfully I was right. But the horror of this moment still haunts me.
