Nervous About Talking To A Girl I Like On Facebook

    OK, I know this sounds pretty stupid coming from a 21 y/o guy, but I like this girl and the other day she added me on Facebook. I'm pretty sure that she knows I fancy her. I met her for the first time a couple of years ago but I've only seen her a handful of times since and I don't really know her that well. She's a friend of a friend.

    I think she might like me too but I'm not 100% sure so I'm too afraid to do anything about it. If I saw her out one night I'd have a chat with her, but that's the problem - I hardly ever see her so the only real option is to try and strike up a chat on Facebook. It's not that I'm afraid of rejection, it's just that I could start a chat saying "hey wat u up to, how things" and she could just think it's a bit random of me to start a chat with her and go offline or something.

    Sorry, I know this is stupid and childish but I'm usually fairly confident but she's an extremely good looking girl and when it comes to her, I just lack any of the confidence I usually have when I'm around other girls. Any advice?

    Hey look she added you - first step.
    So why not just send a chat - maybe - cool photos / really good to get back in touch - something genuine though whatever it is you write.

    But don't drag on too long - drop in about meeting for a coffee or something soon - the longer you wait the more she will think that you are just not that interested.

    Best of luck.

    Wouldn't take adding you as a definite sign of interest. A lot of people seem to add as friends anyone they've ever said hello to.
    But now that you're her friend, have a good old stalk and try and see what the story is with her, boyfriend(s) etc...

    I know most people subscribe to the whole "go for it, what have you to lose" policy, and I normally would myself, but in this situation if you don't normally run into each other, then askin her to meet up with you or whatever is a massive "I Want You" sign, which in itself isn't a bad thing, BUT (and even if she fancies you as well) after her just adding you and you going straight in on the back of that, it's not playin it very cool.

    I'd say keep your eyes open elsewhere with her in the back of your mind should she become more accessible. You're a young man.

    Just my €0.02 :)
