Have We Met Before?
If there's one question that gets my brain searching for my history folder, it's this:
Have We Met Before?
Well, the other day, I was working up my social skills and meeting up some new faces with my boyfriend when this conversation happened:
(translated in English)
Him: Your face looks so familiar. Have we met before?
Me: Ummm sorry, I don't know, I don't think so.
Him: Wait let me think. *pauses for 10 secs*
Me: Uh sure.
Him: Oh wait! Did you work at *insert my previous workplace* before?
Me: Yes I worked there for a year.
Him: I knew it! I knew I've seen your face before. But I understand if you don't recognize me as I'm from the kitchen department. What's your name again?
Me: *feeling relief* Really? That's nice, well I'm Cindy.
At first, it didn't seem weird. But then that type of conversation happened again for the 2nd time on the same day, with another person.
(translated in English)
Her: Your face seems familiar.
Me: Ohh um how--
Her: Where are you from?
Me: I live at *insert address here*.
Her: I see! That's why your face's so familiar. I used to go there before with my Mom because we have relatives there and I believe I've seen you there.
Me: Whoa you have a good memory. I'm Cindy.
Okay, so that's the second time that someone familiarized my face. But hold it, there's a third one, still happened on the same day.
(translated in English)
Him: Hey, what's your name again?
Me: I'm Cindy.
Him: Cindy I think I've seen you before. Where did you graduate?
Me: I graduated at *insert college school here*
Him: I knew it. I used to study there too and I've seen you before there.
Me: Really?
After that third conversation, I was weirded out. Not because those people were weird but it's the fact that they've "sort of" memorized my face? Is that what I think it is? HAHAHAHAHAHA not that I'm assuming something or anything, but every day we meet millions of faces and I for myself find it impossible to memorize a face that I would've only seen once for at least 1-2 minutes. Or I don't know, maybe they've seen me before more than once that's why they were able to familiarize me.
I'm not complaining though because having someone asking me "have we met before?" is actually a good conversation starter. I'm just sharing about it because hearing it thrice in one day is weird but funny hahaha. I'm not a good conversationist so this is definitely something that maybe I could try in the future. I'm not sure if I could try though because I am also not good at memorizing faces hahaha! Ciao 😂.
