I'm in need of some advice when it comes to talking to girls. There's this girl I know from school who I want to talk to. We're actually really good friends- when we're texting. We've been communicating over Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, and Kik, but I've never spoken to her in person. It was cute for the first month, now its been four months and now it's just awkward. I see her everyday at school, but I'm always afraid to say "Hi". I'm not sure why. When we text, I'm practically a stud. I'm always cracking jokes, and she responds with a "hahaha" to like almost half of my messages. I've told her I liked her, I've flirted with her, I've used deliberately cheesy pick-up lines on her. I've got nicknames for her: babe, baby, sweetie, cutie, sweetie-pie, cutie-pie, beautiful, baby-girl, honey, etc. One time, she was feeling blue so I told her I loved her. She got all nervous, like she was trying to hide her own love for me.
So we're soul mates when we're texting, but in person we're nothing more than acquaintances. We make eye contact on a daily basis, but one of us always looks away. I get the feeling that she's nervous around me too, hopefully because she likes me back. But as the male, I feel that it is my responsibility to break the ice. But I don't know what to say. We don't have a whole lot of mutual friends, so the only way to approach this would be solo. I don't know how to open: do I pop a pick-up line? Do I open with a joke? Do I just say "Wassup"?
Suggestions?

No you do not. What you need advice on is your view of girls. If you think the way you should talk to girls differs from how you talk to guys - then you are wrong. They are people too. Simply talk to them AS people - like you would to any person.

jesus bro, so much wrong here.

first off, never tell a girl you love her unless you're in a committed relationship, anything other than that is creepy as hell.

do not open with a pickup line and don't say "wassup", nobody has said that in 10 years.

Monday, when you go to school.. you walk up to her and just start talking like you do online. Don't think about it, just go talk to her and walk with her where she's going. Act like it's nothing and it's just normal that you're walking with her.

You'll always regret this if you don't do it.

That's some very good advice right there... ^^^^^

If you can open with a joke, go for it. Not all dudes have that ability. To her, it would seem like just your usual persona she knows from texting. Don't use a pick-up line, those are the worst, lol! How about, "Hey, nice to see you! How are you classes going?" If you're in a class with her, ask her how she's doing on an assignment, or studying for a test, or whatever.

This is a weird problem. This is what happens when people live by social media alone.
Try to get in a frame of mind, like when you're texting her. It might help you relax.

Four months...!!? Yeah. Put the damn phone down and speak to her.

And, no, you don't love her and she doesn't love you.

Translation: my phone is my girlfriend.

4 months? I don't even know if you have a chance with this girl. Women....are quick on the draw. Seriously, your window is like days. 4 months?

And I can't even give you solid advice. It's that bad of a situation you've put yourself in.

I'll give you cliched advice. "Just be yourself"...that's like your only hope here.
