Okay guys, need your help on this one.

I try use social networks as much as possible to increase social circle, make new connections and the lot. So I friend requested this HB8 a few months back (yes,I do friend request random people or people that we have many mutual friends), and got no response. So one day I was cleaning my friend requests/friends and removed the invitation.

Fast forward to a couple of days back, apparently I sent her another friend request which was accepted earlier tonight. The interesting thing is, she was hanging out with a few friends of hers at a rock pub I was at as well. I did notice her looking at my direction, but didn't get the chance to go open her.

I was wondering, what's the best way to open her? Do I mention seeing her/noticing me today? Do I just open normally? What would you guys suggest?

Thanks in advance and any quick reply is highly appreciated as it's good to open while she remembers.

There is no harm in trying. I would open with "seeing her at the pub" But do not open or even mention you noticing her looking over at you. Simply say, hey there, thanks for the add. I remember seeing you at the pub and I thought i would say hello. Based on her response, you can initiate a conversation.

Waiting to see her again in person by sheer coincidence or even setting something up can work. But the bottom line is you have already made the initial move. Adding her and getting her to respond. I think it would be more "creepy" if you didn't say anything.

Keep it friendly at first, establish a comfort, then do not be afraid to escalate and show your interest. Her responses will dictate everything. Stay polite and be a gentleman. Escalate slowly, wait for the signs. Move in accordingly.
