Does this seem creepy or desperate?

That don't seem "creepy" at all!

Don't worry! Facebook was created for that purpose! To get to know new people! If you are a too shy for talking with her at school, chatting with her in Facebook is a good beginning to start a friend-friend relationship.

Theres nothing reallly wrong with what your saying, your actually putting words in peoples mouthes and creating a negative vibe as your inviting people to jump on the Bandwagon and say "creepy" or whatever.

Fact is if you were a Girl peoples reactions would be different but this is man bashing season so its ok. All these words like Stalker and Pervert cast men in a bad light so you should stop saying them.

Your young im guessing and already your programmed with all this rubbish already, I think thats terrible. The sad thing is the older you get the more more likely you will be of being branded such term.

I would at least try and get a smile out of this girl first; and then one cannot be called a stalker can one?

Yeah, that's creepy, and also betrays a lack of confidence: just 'adding' someone is way easier than talking to them, right?

Better to find a way of striking up a conversation with her, or perhaps getting a proper introduction via a mutual friend.

"She's very pretty and I'd like to get to know her and talk." - get to know her and talk? Stop kidding yourself. You fancy her and want to go out. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that at all, in fact it's one of the things that keeps the human race alive, but trying to deceive yourself and others about your motives again betrays a lack of confidence in yourself. The sooner you admit that to yourself and deal with *that*, then you can start addressing things properly.

If you convince yourself that all you want is to get to know her and talk, lo and behold, that's all you'll get. You'll end up in the Friends Zone, which is the dumping ground for guys who try to sneak their way in to a girl's affections. I think the real problem here is a lack of confidence on your part.

Ideally you'd be able to start up a conversation and ask her out, if she says yes then great, if not move on. Find a way of doing that, be personable funny and interesting, develop a spine, grow a pair and a thick skin. That way she'll respect you more (even if she says 'no', and remember 'no' means 'no'), you'll respect yourself more too.

Trying to find an 'easy' shortcut via Facebook just won't cut it I'm afraid. Neither will dwelling or obsessing over one girl. That almost *never* works in anyone's favour, yours or hers.

[Edit: this is not 'man-bashing', I would consider it creepy if a woman I didn't know just added me on Facebook. Given that women don't often stalk, rape and murder men I'd suggest that a woman may consider a random Facebook 'add' a bit more threatening than a man. This is more about being a self-confident man who behaves in an upfront and honest manner, and is 'man enough' to go about things without sneaking about and trying the 'stealth' approach]

What you describe is seems "like a stalker or a pervert". What is the problem with introducing yourself at the bus stop to the group and trying make some social effort. There is no magic Facebook way to instantly become another persons interest. It takes putting yourself out there in an open and friendly manner. If you can talk to her, you can talk to her when she is with her friends, it is a place she feels secure.

Creepy.

(No. It's not "man-bashing". If a girl was asking the question, my answer would be the same. The thing is... what happened to face to face interaction? She's always with friends? So what? You can still say hi and get on her radar. Small talk. Get in there slowly with "Hi, how are you"s and introduction. I know it's a big crazy world out there now and it's crazy to think people used to talk to each other before social media)

First You have got to persuade yourself that your contact is in love with you. You ought to have greater intelligence than the common criminal. Then strengthen the long-established safety mechanisms in the form of denial, minimization, devaluation, and projection of blame onto the victim, I mean contact. These will are available useful later. Under is a good link so as to support you count on their responce and avoid prosecution.

people are always adding people that they dont talk to, they just know them from somewhere, thats part of facebook. i dont think its creepy as long as you dont act like alot of guys do and start asking for her nudes and crap like that. not saying you would do that, but alot of guys do and it makes them look like pathetic desperate perves. but i wouldnt have a problem with it if someone i didnt know very well added me and started talking to me just to get to know me. theres nothing wrong with that.

Not really, just message her and introduce yourself and get to know her

It would depend on how you approach her on FB, or in real life.
