How do I talk to the girl I like on facebook?

[Johnny]

I go to Saturday school every saturday (not during summer vacation but I will go again after summer ends) and there is this girl I really like. I finally got the courage to add her as a friend on facebook. I haven't talked to her often, but I have sometimes, and she is really friendly. I am shy around girls as well. I was thinking of thanking her for accepting my friend request and asking her how her summer is going. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

Start off sending her a message and continue from there

It seems like you have a pretty good plan already. IMing someone is much easier to do than face-to-face conversation. There's less pressure, and you have more time to think about what to say so you won't end up saying something by mistake or stuttering from being nervous. I say go for it. Good luck to you.
