When you want mention about a person you were with one time but you forget their name, what term do you use?

Eg.. I was with 'what's her/his name'... 'So-and-so' and me.... 'the old lady and I'...

    I've only talked about him once.  I used the term fiancé.  This post was edited by Honey Dew at December 5, 2021 6:07 PM MST

    I would likely say "a friend and I"....even though if I forgot their name we were probably not really friends. 
    So it could be "a guy and I" or "some girl and I."

    If you can't remember someone's name, is he or she important enough to mention?

      That’s extremely narrow thinking. There are far too many probabilities as to why a person is forgetful of things to assume that only your negative viewpoint of the range of potential answers is valid.

    True, which is why I posed it as an open question rather than a statement of opinion.

      You presented a solitary angle, I responded to what you presented.

    It was a yes or no question.

    This is why I don't do one-night stands. :)

      Then I probably shouldn’t mention that I still keep a little black book also?

    Best to keep some things to yourself. :)

    I remember almost all of the people I would want to talk about, and some I wouldn't. An exception is that hot 8th-grade science teacher I had a crush on.

      Hey, wait . . . ! I thought I meant something real to you! You said I was different, you said I was not like all the others, you said I was special!
