Bring in a third person.Pretend (假装) you know that person.The third person will (with luck) be too polite to say that he has never met you.You say to the third person, "I'm sorry, but I've forgotten your name." This person will then introduce himself.You can then introduce yourself.Your friend will now introduce himself.Now you have gotten your friend's name.
