Two words/phrases: Hello, how are you?

That person is going to have no idea who you are.....

 

NOTE: they have never seen a picture of me before.

Skype call maybe? Could be a little awkward though.

Those phrases are what I always use and it always ends up working out (as in, conversation wise).

Makes sure you're wearing clothes and clean your room.

[The Official Czex]

"Hey, man! What's up? Can't believe I haven't actually met you yet..."

[Starelementpoke]

Start with something you guys usually only talk about over online.

[Virtual01]

Hug them from behind and lick their neck

Makes sure you're wearing clothes and clean your room. 

 

Wearing clothes seems like a good idea.

just talk normally and introduce yourself.

[JerkyMcDilerino]

"My name is Billy, i'm 67 years old and this is my first time meet you, so what is your name?"

[minibois]

First time meeting an internet friend of mine was not awkward at all.

We had never seen pics of each other, but said what clothes we would wear that day, so we knew who we were. So I saw him first, went up to him and we recognised each other.. But we just shook hands and introduced ourselves still

 

"My name is Billy, i'm 67 years old and this is my first time meet you, so what is your name?"

banned in pieces??

I either initiate, or if in a game will become resourceful or helpful, thus gaining likeability.

" Hello/how are you, I am Y, you're X aren't you,  do you prefer that or your real name?" etc

 

Keep it light and non-creepy and don't try and introduce yourself whilst X is ten seconds from winning the final, you'l probably get ignored or told to" F OFF! ".
