Breaking the Ice with a Girl on Facebook

There's this girl I like but I haven't really had a chance to get to know her. It's her birthday on Sat, and now that uni is over I never see her, even though she only lives a short distance away. Oh, and she's definitely single.

I just wondered what I could write on her wall in addition to 'happy birthday' in order to strike up a rapport, or get a pleasant response.

Girls: what would you find humorous, endearing, entertaining? What would cause you to respond positively?

Banter ideas welcome, but keep it clean folks.

Thanks!

Does anyone actually reply to birthday wishes on fb?
Oh just give her a poke :wink:
erm cant you just man up and talk to her on chat or in person?
If she's quite heavy you shouldn't have a problem.
I totally spend my life on facebook and I've been jacking off over your profile pic for weeks

Happy birthday :biggrin:




Glad I could help :wink:

She doesn't use chat, and there's never the opportunity in person. Although I agree about just going for it. It's just a case of breaking the ice though: testing the water beforehand.

Just say happy birthday and talk to her on chat and in person. There is definitely not some amazing comment you could write on her wall, to be honest.

Fair point.

Will liking a particularly nice pic make it obvious enough?

Not usually. I would, if something interesting was said though.

Haha! My friend suggested this: "Happy birthday. I'd poke you but I've ran out of viagra and the chemists isn't open till Monday".

I'll pass this one over. Definitely.

Just leave a Happy Birthday with maybe one friendly kiss 'x'

Then just get talking to her on chat, then progress to asking her out some place in person

Define "heavy". Do you mean overweight in this context, or is it some kind of slang I'm not privy to? (3 marks).

That wouldn't really mean much, thinka bout it.... If she's even half decent looking multiple people will be liking it

Your best bet is to speak to her on chat

Or in person, like it's meant to be done

Nice idea. Best so far, in combo with the 'x'.

Cheers.

I think he was being sarcastic as in heavy, breaking through the ice?
