Oh, derp, you already did. Well, honestly, that still pretty much applies. If they "liked" you after you messaged them, if it's been a while - like, days or a week or two, not hours (and especially not *minutes*, OKC twit who isn't here... Probably), you MIGHT be able to send a gentle reminder, IF you're careful. The trick is to eliminate any hint of entitlement - the fact is, she doesn't owe you her conversation - and if it helps assume she has a very pressing reason why she didn't respond that is none of your business. Ideally, look for a way to add to your previous message, like you totes just thought of it, or if there's some recent event that ties into their profile (e.g. If they say on the profile that they watch American Horror Story, ask if they heard about the guy who just got hit by a car and died).
