I'm curious about the specifics of this situation in trying to figure out the most likely explanation.
Did the two people go to Italy together or separately? Are they romantically involved? If not, is the woman conventionally attractive? And if so, did the exchange roughly fit the pattern of "woman expressing an opinion" and "man agreeing with woman not matter what"?
Separately; not romantically involved (the man is dating someone else); and now I don't remember who the woman was, so I can't answer the rest.
You don't remember who one of the two parties in a recent conversation was even though you do remember the details of the conversation well enough to quote it? That's pretty unusual.
I'm content-oriented.
Honestly, this happens to me far too often.
It has happened to me too. I was surprised not that it happened but that it seemed to happen just 2 days after the event occurred and at what was probably the first telling of the story. When it happens to me, it's generally much later than 2 days and after I've told the story at least a couple of times, so that by that point, the decontextualized story is all that remains of the original memories.
Me too. It gets especially embarrassing when you end up telling someone a story about a conversation they themselves were involved in.
