A full agreement on this.
As I've gotten older, my memory is not great.
And when you meet people out of context, in situations out of context, I often don't remember that I've met them.
And it's not offensive.
It's not that I'm rude.
You'd probably tell me that I am.
And so I sometimes say these days just to hedge it,
Or, like, I think we've met before in order to kind of, like, open that door.
But if I say nice to meet you and you come straight back with, oh, we've met, I am mortified.
You have arrow to the heart.
Answer me this.
If we have this encounter and I say nice to meet you and you say we've met, what am I supposed to say?
Look who's getting the words wrong now.
If we were in cocktail dresses, that would be cosplay.
Nice to meet you.
Sometimes you just don't remember.
Particularly in professional settings, you have a lot of small talk conversations.
By the time you get to my age, you have been to a lot of things and you have had a lot of small talk.
