How to start talking to a girl over facebook without being creepy?

[Boriqua]

Me personally, I'm kind of the opposite. I don't like flirting over the internet because I love using my tone and body language - but one thing I like to try and do is randomly ask a person something that's relating... Like, "can you help me with my homework?" or in your case maybe incorporate the brothers? Personally I would have started talking to her on the bus (sit closer to her, etc), say hello to her every time I see her in the hallway, the little things you do is what makes you closer to a girl - all about the baby steps before the giant leap... And remember, sometimes you gotta run before you walk - just be a bit blunt and pretty much ask her out... Nothing like "Will you date me" but moreless "Wanna hang out sometime" or "wanna take our little brothers some where fun" (Where it incorporate all 4 of you, with you getting closer to her)... That's my best bet, hope I helped a bit. To me personally, it's always easier and more personal to talk face to face rather than over an object.
