Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

In this context, "remember asking" might be misunderstood to be an action that occurred in the past. The speaker is giving advice to people for the future, so "remember to ask" is more appropriate here as it is an action that has not been completed yet. Ex. I don't remember asking for your help. Ex. Remember to ask your classmate to lend you a textbook.
