Advice on messaging girl on Facebook?

[Max]

I'm a senior in high school and am looking at my college Facebook page for next year and there is a really pretty girl that actually has a lot in common with me. I'm going to message her but should I say like your really pretty or is that weird. What else should I say
First of all, I am 18, and the entire page are incoming freshman for the fall of 2014. I cant talk in person(yet) because I have never talked to her before and she lives in a different state, so I probably wouldn't see her until college started.

i'm right in the middle of talking to a girl for the first time right now

(just to preface this, i'm generally a shy person and dont to this very often)

I decided to start the conversation with the usual hi, how are you.. then I asked if she went to a party last night.. moved on to ask her what she's doing as a degree as I noticed she's at Uni and it kinda kept rolling on from there.. take it easy

and remember one thing, if she doesn't like you (i'm not saying she wont).. dont take it too hard, its the reason that I dont do this more often because a crush once told me she wouldnt go out with me.

goodluck steven

Talk to her in real life

Yeah...that wouldn't be creepy at all (please read this with sarcasm).

Does this girl go to the college already? If so, I doubt very much she would be flattered by a HS senior that she doesn't know (and is probably under the age of 18) hitting on her over Facebook.

If you want to proceed and make a fool of yourself, leave any comments about her looks out of it. You could tell her that you will be attending that college in the fall and ask about her experiences at the school. To bring anything else into it would be social suicide. She'll make sure she tells all her friends and they'll have a good laugh at your expense. When you get to the school, they may even look you up just to see who the geek is.

If someone messaged me like that I would think it's totally creepy. Wait until classes start in the fall. If she doesn't live near you, what's the point of messaging her now, anyway? You couldn't date her until you're at the same school.

Just wait. This is too much and would put her off. And, yes, she would have a good laugh at you with her friends even if she is going to be a freshman.
