16. Remember things and topics of conversation about the people you meet and ask about those things about them next time you meet. Even if you know how things are going, or it's boring, It's polite and it shows you care enough to remember and ask.
At that point, I may as well give up. I can continue where we left off once the other person brings up the subject, but being the one to correctly remember which conversation went with which person is not a game I expect to win.
I recently started to write down a couple of notes after talking to people. It sure feels a little weird, like a sketchy salesman, but it might come in handy to read these before engaging in conversation with a person in the future. Especially when you have multiple circles where you meet many people occasionally.
