I get that same fear when I forget their name, but it’s okay to go up and introduce yourself and ask for theirs again. They like that confidence and it’s fair to assume they prob forgot yours as well! Not a bad thing

This is a really good point, Hannah!! I've never minded when someone forgets my name, so I should try and get over that and talk to him again. Thank you for that :)
