HI guys. So a while back I decided to join one of those dating sites. A friend of mine found his now fiance through one, so I figured it couldn't hurt to sign up and see what's out there. I wasn't really expecting to find much, but yesterday I was just browsing around and I saw this girl that I know. We went to college and grad school together, and since freshman year I always kinda had a thing for her. Only problem is that we were never single at the same time. We were friends in school but we haven't really talked much since graduating. Just the usual happy birthdays through Facebook and occasionally liking some Facebook posts. I had no idea she was now single, and I wanted to send her a message and see if she wanted to go out (also, according to that dating site we are a 95% match).
Only problem is I have no idea what to say. I thought about maybe just being goofy in a first message through the dating site and just being like "Fancy seeing you here!" but after thinking about it, that seems kinda creepy. It could be kind of awkward, because after 5 years in school together our class formed a fairly tight knit group of about 20 friends. We don't really hang out but we keep in touch and are still kind of involved in each others lives.
I just don't wanna embarrass myself and say something stupid. Any ideas of what to say? I have always had trouble with icebreakers. Once that is out of the way, I'm usually pretty charming.

"If you really wanted to go out with me THAT bad, you coulda just asked and not waited around until I signed up for a dating site and saw your profile. Beers this weekend?"
Boom. Ice - BROKEN. SHATTERED!

Just be yourself...but if you being yourself is creepy then be somebody else. In all seriousness, Just begin with a friendly greeting or something like Hey, Nice to see you again or Did you go to (insert school name here)? Hope this helps and Good Luck

Just bloody say hi to her, you know each other so it's a simple "hey" and just talk about something.
Your making it a lot harder than it needs to be.
And then send her a picture of your penis.

what exactly is "FAIRLY TIGHT KNIT".... you are either a tight knit group or not? i never understood that. but anyways, saying "Fancy meeting you here" is wrong on any level, so forget that, and if you know her personally, maybe try NOT messaging her through the dating site? maybe message or TALK to her on facebook or in person, and ask her out, and if she says no, just forget about dating sites, your friend is a lucky breed, because those sites are full of freaks and geeks, and serial killers, and stuff

Approach her on Facebook instead of the dating website. Ask how she has been and something about getting coffee or something and catching up sometime. If she brings up the dating site then talk about it. If not then it's no big deal.

Relationship advice? On WF?! I know chances are slim of not getting 90% of the responses being "RKO Her" but once in a while I see some good advice here.

I saw someone I grew up with on one of those sites a few years ago. I hit her up, something along the lines of "I won't tell anyone if you won't!" We ended up hanging out a few times, nothing really happened. We still hang out when we both happen to be back home though.

She's on the site. You are on the site. You both are looking for someone. Just hit her up on the site and ask her out.

well, if you already know her, it shouldnt generally be too hard to spark a conversation....you can always say "what have you been up to" ....or bring up something you two have in common, or mention something you saw that she might like...easy as pie.

Just message her with a simple hello or hey and then continue on from there. Just hope she replies, because the only thing worse than a simple reply from someone is a no reply.

If she brings up the dating site then talk about it. If not then it's no big deal. This. Easily the best of the other stuff I've seen posted on here. If you are friends on Facebook, there is no need to go on the dating site and message her. Good luck bro.

Kidnap her to get a story on Investigation Discovery, then show her your famous. Simple Logic
