i am a firm believer in the "dis-inhibition" factor when it comes to all forms of social media, the identity we present from behind the safety of our computer screen may or may not be an accurate depiction of our actual selves.

same goes in dating, even if this girl considered you creepy and stalker person from the first moment and you succeeded in making her laugh, most probably she will be attracted to you and your mission will be somehow easier.

first impressions are hard to shake, if i found someone creepy or exhibiting stalking behaviors, i would do everything in my power to avoid future contact with this person. in the virtual world, it is far too easy to block or ignore someone so the only flaw i find in this theory is that you will not have an opportunity to "make her laugh". while i understand the thought process behind your theories, i find it hard to believe that is a successful strategy in reality.

your chance in dating a girl you don't know on a social network like Facebook substantially increases by one of two points, your look and your popularity, even popularity has more impact than your look, for instance if you tried to date a girl on Facebook and she opened your profile picture and found hundreds of likes and comments, I believe that everything will be going on well.
yes this is shallow and superficial but she doesn't know you, so she should have to find something to be attracted to you, otherwise she will not react.

agreed - unfortunately, the influx of media in our lives has increased the value of looks and popularity imo. also this brings me back to my original statement, the identity portrayed through social media is not always accurate.
i guess, if you are interested in pursuing a relationship with someone you met through social media, what attracted you to her?
finally, when expressing an interest in a female, irregardless of the venue, tread lightly, present yourself honestly, and go where the path may lead....
relentless pursuing an individual who does not have an interest in you will most likely not turn out well.
