How have you been?

Where do I know you from?

Sometimes you can spend a lot of time trying to remember where you met that person you've just been introduced you.

Try phrases like this:

Haven't we met before?
Don't I know you from somewhere?
You look familiar....

What do you do when you can't remember someone's name?
