Self report
Today, I went on a blind date set up by a friend. Everything was going great until I accidentally called my date by my ex’s name. Twice. My date promptly excused herself to the restroom and never came back. FML

Oh no…
Today, I went on a blind date. Not only I had already been on a date with the guy before, we'd also had both forgotten about it until halfway through the dinner. FML

Classic
Today, I went on a blind date and mistook someone else at the restaurant for my date. We had a great conversation… until the real blind date arrived. The look on both their faces was priceless. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. As soon as my date saw me walking towards him, he checked his watch and said, "Oops, wrong place." Then walked right past me. FML

Today, I went on a blind double date. My date was drunk before I got there. He kept getting my name wrong, and ended up spilling a glass of red wine down the front of my dress. FML

Bad omen
Today, I went on a blind date. Not only did his phone go flat before I found him, but we were at totally different bars. FML

Names and faces
Today, I hate when I go out and I forget peoples' names; even though they know me and I know them, I forgot their name. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. My date would respond to me by saying "retweet" and "favorite" when she thought something was relatable. FML

Classic blunder
Today, I went on a blind date that my friend set up at a coffee shop. I arrived early, feeling nervous but excited. As I sat waiting, I noticed a person waving at me from across the room. I smiled and waved back, only to realize that they were actually waving at someone behind me. My date never showed up. FML

You think that's bad? I can't properly pronounce the name of my partner of three years, so I never say it. I think he's starting to realize...

I would have left the date after the second incident unless you played it off super cool.

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't forget their name during sex.

You're just not that into him? I'm just not seeing a scene like that from "West Side Story" "What's-her-name? I just met a girl named What's-her-name! And suddenly the name Will never be the same What's-her-name?. . ."

next time try saying the name out loud three times after the initial introduction, in your first conversation .. it helps to remember

It's natural. When people get nervous it can effect short term memory. Next time immediately use there name three times in the conversation to help remember.

I am the same way, I forget names too so don't worry about it.

Sorry, that's just rude. It's not like you're talking to a group at a party and forgot; you're on a date. Common courtesy. Try harder next time.

I'm really bad at names, I started a new school a month ago and I still only remember the names of four and a half people in my class, in a class of nine. That doesn't mean I'm rude, I just don't remember even after asking several times. It's not like OP wanted to forget, so I can't see how it has anything with common courtesy to do.

While you're having a conversation why would you be using the other persons name? You're an idiot!

You do understand what a conversation is, correct?
