You could say, “I saw you’re wearing a Ramones T-shirt in your profile photo. I love them too. What’s your favorite album?”

You could say, “Hey, do you know what the English homework is for tomorrow? I forgot to write it down,” or “What time does our shift at the restaurant begin tomorrow, again?”

You could say, “I really liked that drill we did at practice today. You ran so fast!” or “That customer at the store today was hilarious. Did she really think we made cupcakes at a hot dog place?”

Keep your jokes clean and don’t try to tear down any other comments with yours. If she likes or comments positively on your post, that is a good sign. You could try progressing to a private message, if she’s receptive to your wall posts.

It is also fine to like photos that she posts herself, but avoid bombarding her page with hearts and similar stuff. You don’t want to scare her off!

Phrases to avoid might include, “I’m not rude; I just say what everyone else is thinking. ”
