Suzanne please let us know how it goes!
In my particular case, even though I know I've already reached the 'Yes, I am TG/TS, why do you ask?' place in my life, I've been slowly letting everything creep out into the world. Yes, I know there's a point of no return where the flood begins, or at least when you've been outted to enough people that, really, people just don't expect you to present male anymore.. then you know, perhaps, you're going the right direction.
Regardless, as for FakeBook, I have /not/ made myself associated with either of my previous HS's, however, through creating a page for myself on FB and friending everyone that I know IRL that has now seen me in person, by the degrees of separation that FB creates with their 'Friend Recommendations' and just sheer simplistic gossip I've been reacquainted with many of my 'real friends' if you will from those previous schools.. mostly because THEY stepped up and made the effort to get to know me, or because I found them and outted myself to them (because I just /knew/ they would be supportive).. which then makes more 'LinkedIn' like connections that their little Friend Finder suggests, and on and on..
Face it, by just existing on FB, you open yourself to being 'found out', and as soon as you friend ONE SINGLE PERSON (and I'll add that includes being a 'Fan' of /anything/, member of ANY group, or RSVP to any presented event, etc.) their systems consider you a ratable, referenced link that will gain in suggestible priority the more friends you (or your linked friends) make (or it will offer up [whatever] saying 'Hey! Angel's a fan of [x]. You should be too!'). Social networking in this age is interesting, if not invasive in this context.
All the rest of the advice I've read is sound to me too, be yourself, be happy with who you are, and those that really liked / cared for you will show their true colors. :-)
Don't reveal anything but ask her more about herself. Make sure it's genuine and go slow.
If I made another page on Facebook, and friended the only two people I've ever told, then their friends might see me on their feeds. They could think, hmmmm.... doesn't she resemble x a little...?
