Should I msssage her? If so how do I start the convo?
So there's this girl you can say I had a thing for for the longest time. She use to go to my school two years back but ended up transferring last year. We are now juniors now in college. Basically, back then my first two years of college I was super shy and never had the confidence to talk to her. We would run into each other occasionally at parties and such but I would never say anything. It was like I would always freeze up and didn't know what to say to her. I always wanted to talk to her and thought she was incredibly beautiful. So I wanted to dm her just to say hey or something. She knows of me of course, we follow each other on instagram and twitter, but like I said I never said really anything to her. But the dilemma I'm having is that I'm here in CA while she's at school in AZ. We do however live 40 min away from each other hometown wise. Also, I don't know what to say.
I was thinking of saying this, does it sound good for an opener?
"Hey (her name), idk if you remember me. But we would cross paths every know and then at (school name). Just wanted to say hi cause we never got properly introduced haha. How have you been? :)"

Just start out by dming her a simple "hi đ" and ask if she remembers you. Just remember not to be too forward! Most girls hate when a guy just walks up to them and says some sleezy line, it makes you sound like you just want to jump in bed with them. Remember to make her laugh, girls fall for a guy faster if you can make them laugh. After you've spoken for a bit ask if it would be possible for you to talk over whatsapp because your data is almost depleted. If you've been able to actually make her laugh then she probably won't mind giving you her number

Don't say - ASK!
To be liked, generally, we need to be more interestED than interestING. Listening is good for making friends: ask people questions about themselves and their opinions and listen to them without interruption, except for little comments that demonstrate that you're REALLY listening. It shows you are taking them seriously, as in respect and acceptance. Don't sit there thinking about what you will say, because that shows more interest in yourself than them. Little pauses demonstrate that you are thinking about what they have said anyway. You can ask them how they felt about what they have just told you, or other specific questions to show you have been listening and taking them seriously. Be open minded and try not to disagree with people. For example, if they like a band you hate, ask what it is they like about them, best track, etc. (avoid the word, âwhyâ as it can sound challenging). You can always say you don't listen to them much but you will now or something. Asking for advice is also good. Genuinely, of course, & don't overdo it. Ditto information â we feel pleased to tell someone something interesting they did not know, such as whatâs on in town, latest sports score, etc., so by showing interest in their opinion, knowledge, etc. youâll get some good feelings from them. Smiling is a good sign of acceptance. A lot of eye contact can also be good. Remember, if you want to have a friend, you have to BE a friend, and the best way to impress someone is to be impressed by them! One thing you can do is always to ensure you have a straight back: sit, stand and walk tall (hips forward) and take reasonably long, confident strides when you walk: this has the âreverse psychologyâ effect of helping us to feel more confident. Once we have self respect and a sense of self worth, we tend to find that other people respect us more too. Good Luck!

That sounds like a fine way to get started and see if she even remembers you.

Definitely start talking to her!
I'm a girl and there's this guy I like who is kinda like you. (Gets nervous and stuff).
If you don't try and talk to her you might miss the chance altogether!

Yes I think you should message her with a friendly hi and start the conversation off by there.

Your reply is good; just be casual and the fact that you show you want to talk to her is a good sign to her too, girls want the guy to start the conversation.

Yes that sounds like a good way to start, just say hello remember me etc and go from there.
You've got nothing to lose, go for it, she will probably be happy to hear from you.
