Do you forget faces (of people you just met)? How long does it take to forget?

I hate forgetting faces and how quickly it happens.

Some of my examples:
3 years in a row saw a friend that is a girl while traveling - after days with her it only took 2 days to forget her face, when I try to think of memories where I saw her face, I see the side of her head instead.

Another friend that is a girl. Talked a lot and saw each other for 2 days. 2 days later, again, could not remember her face.

Another girl. Saw her for only a few hours, but could not remember her face 2 mornings later.



I have had dreams with 2 of my friends here in them. I saw their faces again. In one I thought “now that I’m seeing her face again I have to remember it”. When I woke up I could not remember her face from the dream.

So what are your experiences? Do you forget people’s faces?

Not necessarily referring to face recognition, but just memory of their face.

Because you can forget their face but recognize them, while I’m asking if you forget their face before seeing them again
