How do I start?

This is my first time on any forum so I apologize if anything is weird. There is Girl A, and Boy B.

Girl A has an online presence on [app], posting her face, outfits, etc. Boy B, who has no online information about him, lives in accommodation B which is nearby to girl A’s accommodation. According to B, he has seen A multiple times, walked almost alongside her, and knows many things about her due to her persona online. (In which boy B ‘coincidentally’ found on his page.)

prior to A & B even talking to eachother, B sends a video stating “show this to your crush”, and deleted the video after, however girl A eventually finds out, yet doesn’t say anything.

A & B are about the same age with about a 4 month difference, which is good, they have many things in common, interests, games, music, etc, and girl A really enjoys talking to boy B, and he most likely feels the same way. *by the way, both A & B have revealed each others true self about eachother by this point

due to it being the summer still, A is away from her original accommodation and is coming back by next month, in which girl A stated that she will try to look for B so that they can become even better friends, and girl A hopes that B can eventually man up and confess to her one day, yet she is unsure if boy B had been put off by her actual personality and no longer liked her

girl A genuinely loves boy B’s personality and how he acts but is afraid of him perhaps being different to what she has imagined.

 

what should girl A do? Tell boy B straight up that she saw what he sent her, tell B that she likes him back, ignore everything and be friends or any others.

Thank you for not adding a person C. My head was already aching trying to follow that. 😉

If the girl likes the boy, then just talk to him in real life. Be honest about everything. If anything is going to happen - be it friendship or more - then they need to stop with the games and just be honest with each other. 

Yes, it could be odd at first. Yes, there is the chance online personality is different then real life. But if it stays online, it will always be a fantasy and nothing real. If you want something real, someone has to say something. Doesn't matter who. Might as well be the girl if she gets up the nerve first.

Get it all in the open so they can both move past it and figure out what it is they both want. Then enjoy whatever that may be.

Girl A should suggest an activity they can do together one on one and she doesn't have to call it a date.  Once they are out together she will have a lot more information.  No need to confess anything or feelings and to me that wouldn't be the best approach.

I second this. Confessions and expectations are premature at this point. Put down the screens and get to know one another in person.

No confession, open the door with requests to spend time together.

Do what you feel is right for you. There is no right or wrong. There is no better way. There is only what the person involved feels they need to do.

Confessions or declarations of feelings can work.

Spending time together without saying anything more can work.

But being honest with yourself and the other person pretty much always works out for the best.

It's about follow your own heart and finding the way that is best for the individual.

So girl A, or anyone, should just do what feels right to them.

Wow this took me back to grade school.

 I agree that an in person conversation and suggestion to go somewhere and do something is in order.

"Hey B I was just heading to the coffee shop, would you like to join me?"  or something along those lines.

Keep it simple, keep it light and fun and see what happens.  Basically pretend like there is no such thing as the internet and you barely know each other.
