This is an odd question/situation...
Ok, I liked this girl about a year ago (call her C). We hung out a lot and stuff, and then I got her MSN contact and talked to her on there. We became really good friends on MSN and stuff, but the closer we became on MSN the harder it was to be friends with her in real life because it was ackward. We talked about some of the stupidest stuff online, and she (as well as me) seemed completely different offline. It was weird.
On the internet, I also became really good friends with her best friend (call her A) who was helping me hang out with C in real life by planning stuff like parties and whatever. We became, in my opinion, even closer then me and C- online anyway. So, when I t over C, I started liking A. I know, but I like girls fast. We got to know like... EVERYTHING about each other. The only drawback is now were great friends and everything, online, but we never have had an actual conversation offline. We talked a little here and there at parties or whatever, but nothing special.
Then, around March, her internet broke down. At that point, we didn't talk anymore at all. Then, around June, my friend who was also good friends with her started throwing a lot of parties and stuff and she was there. We said hey to each other and stuff, but I didn't know what to say after that.
The question is- how should I go about handlinthis? I already ruined anything happening with C, and I don't want it happening again with A. I don't know what to say to her though. I don't know how to go about getting to know her or anything without being obvious.
So if you took the time to read this, then please help me out. Any advice/suggestions would be appericiated.

The correct spelling is "awkward".


It seems to me that you have trouble speaking to girls, any girls that is, offline (in the human world). Try to bring up something that you talked about online. Talk about anything at all. Just strike up a conversation. Ask her about her interests. Say something about the weather. Say something funny.

I often go with the funny method; it works well. By all means though, be yourself.
