I found a girl on there that on two days ago I walked her to her next class because it was raining and we talked on the way there and we both have english together on MWF and I was wondering if it would be odd to send her a message and if not what should I send? Oh and I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm cute b/c of the way she acted and everything I've gotten way better with girls and talking to them and have been alot more even made one I'd call a new friend :D Anyway just asking.
I'm just not wanting to cross a line or anything to soon.

Just say hi and mention who you are at least.

My main suggestion would be more punctuation. You look like you're typing without taking a breath and are overexcited, and it'll be the same in your facebook message. Break things up into sentences, yeah?

Personally, I wouldn't have messaged her. It might come across as "creepy" or something.

It's a bit quick, but not the faux pas of trying to add or message someone on facebook having had no meaningful conversations at all.

If he knows her then it isn't creepy then nor what Hector said is true to a degree.

maybe tell her that you have facebook and ask her whether she has it too... before just "looking her up"

In the future you can ask her a question about the class you share followed by something to promote more conversation (ex: What pages were we supposed to read? This professor assigns way too much reading.). Gradually you'll start talking about more personal things and stuff more than likely.

I dunno I do that a lot because I'm forgetful, but it seems to have the added effect of helping me get to know my classmates a bit better. Maybe it'll work for you.

If she doesn't respond to my message before monday She's going on my doesn't exist list and I won't pay any attention to her at all ever again. I don't like being ignored by anyone for any reason simple as that, besides I'm just trying to meet people and make some friends if she doesn't like a facebook message then she shouldn't have a facebook. Anyway I'm not worried about her theres lots of girls I wanna get to know and some I've been talking too.

Blimey, that's a bit extreme! 8O

What if she's out with friends or family over the weekend and doesn't access her Facebook page? :?

If you start ignoring girls like that, you'll get a bad reputation for being petulant and childish at best and ignorant and nasty at worst.

If you want to befriend girls, with the hope that you might be able to get to know one of them a bit better, then it's best to stay polite and friendly even with the ones who aren't interested in you romantically. You never know, she might have a cute friend who does like you. You might be able to talk to her and get translations from girl speak to boy speak and learn about male-female relationships in the wider sense.
