How to message this girl I never even talked to?

[Rickpizza]

Hi, so I'm a junior in HS, and I've always been one of Those "unpopular"/"awkward" kids..anyway this year i keep seeing this girl in the hallways...she's gorgeous and has beautiful smile and always catches my attention. I've begun to develop a crush on her. Idk for sure yet, but I believe she is a bit out of my league. My friend went to grade school with her so Ik her name and added her on fb. She accepted my friend request , idk what to do now. I don't have classes with her so I can't really talk to her in school but I don't want to sound creepy by messaging her without her even knowing me. So I'm wondering what I should say in the message, I thought something like "hey I added you the other day cause I keep seeing you around school, and I had to say something because I think your one of the most gorgeous girls in the school" but idk if that's too much. I don't have any friends in common with her, so I cant use that strategy. And when I pass her in the hallways she is either with a few of her friends or sometimes she's Alone. Any suggestions??? Thanks so much in advance.

It's normal to send "random" messages to people you don't really know that well on social media (like Facebook). I honestly wouldn't find it weird to get a message from someone I barely know.

I do realize (because I have the same problems myself) that it's very difficult and stressful to actually approach someone and start a conversation. Maybe figure out what you can by looking at her FB page. Most anything that people link to or post about is something they are interested in, otherwise they wouldn't bother taking the time to post/link it.

Facebook is a great way to start. just say start with a hello. if you guys share a class or something try to start up the convo with a common ground you two share then go form there. best of luck

as you dont share any classes but you do have some mutual friends - so just say hi let her know that - maybe she saw that from FB -


good luck

"hey I added you the other day cause I keep seeing you around school, and I had to say something because I think your one of the most gorgeous girls in the school"
Female Perspective: Don't get that detailed, because if you come out with the big guns you will be ignored and all her friends will hear about it, just send a simple "hey" and see what happens, try not to scare her

I'd say send her a message saying hello and telling her you've seen her in school many times but never had the chance to talk to her. Best of luck! :)

I don't see anything wrong with sending her a message, but if I were you, I'll try to have at least one little peptalk with her at school before trying to talk to her on FB. That's how I've become close to some of my friends at school. Might work for you too.
