How can she remember me?

I just talked to an old friend via facebook, we've just started catching up. What really surprised me is that she actually remembers me.



We sat next to each other in the second grade and we got along really well. (We were 7, we're 18 now) We haven't been able to talk to each other since then. It turns out we saw each other on the street a year ago. She recognized me and waved, which stunned the hell out of me, considering I'm over a foot taller and I look absolutely nothing like I did when I was 7. I thought it might've been her, but I by the time figured it out, she was long gone.



I added her on facebook the other day, and she seems really happy to be talking to me again. Still, what boggles my mind is that she remembered me after all these years. No old friend has ever remembered me, especially not from 10 years ago. (When I left public school for an online program in 8th grade, no one even realized I that I'd left) It'd be one thing if we were in our 30s and we had gone to high school together, but we were only 7.



How can she still remember me?

(I'm a guy and I did have a crush on her then, but I never got to tell her.

and I'm not sure whether or not she has a boyfriend)



No rude answers please.How can she remember me?
Because some faces you never forget.How can she remember me?
Apparently it depends on the person. I remember people really well, even from when I was young. I saw a girl not too long ago that was in my class in third grade. I'm out of high school now. I thought it would be weird to approach her so I didn't but I think some people just remember people more than others.How can she remember me?
It's normal, i remember my kindergarden friends and im 19!



I saw a girl that was in my class at the mall the other day %26amp; i kept thinking 'where do i know her!'
