I have social difficulties and the girl I like likes me back. What do I do now? This damn neurological condition prohibits me from everything...

We are both 18, do I simply send a friend request in the social media or what? We like eachother but we don't really talk...

Why don't you send her a message asking if she wants to grab a coffee tomorrow.

I don't know, won't that give her the impression of me stalking her? Not sure how any of this works, but isn't face to face contact vital before texting?

No clue...

stalking is when you follow someone around and/or text them every day without them returning your texts

I don't think you need to ask someone out in person. most people ask out over phone or via text in this day and age. I'm sure some older people will disagree with me here but I'm just letting you know what is normal amongst people our age.

Ok, but what should I be talking about? Do I immediately jump at dating or do I try to build the relationship, if so, how?

You mean what should you talk about when you have coffee? I guess you can just get to know each other.

Over text just ask her if she wants to have coffee on some specific date

Agreed! Ask her to coffee, and ask her questions about herself. What her interests are, what she's doing for work or study, what her family is like, and where she's traveled....And then be willing to let the conversation go back-and-forth as you talk about those topics too. Maybe have a defined time period, letting her know you have to be somewhere in a couple hours (for the first time meeting up this can help take the pressure off ). When it's time to go, if you had a good time, be sure to let her know that you had fun and would like to see her again sometime soon. Then, follow up the next day or so by asking her out again, if you're still interested.
