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.

What does the date being good or bad has to do with anything? It only has to do with how good OP's memory is for names and how common the date's name was. I more often than not have a great time with people I just met but can't properly remember their names at all times until I've seen them a bunch of times. You don't say the person's name all the time, so it's not hard to forget. If anything, forgetting his name means that the talk was interesting enough that OP had other things to think of during the date than just memorizing his name. Saying forgetting a name means you didn't like the person is the same as saying that you don't care about a friend you spend the entire year with, treat greatly and help whenever needed just because you couldn't remember the date of their birthday, which is nothing but a number.
