What Should I Type If I C A Girl I’m Interested In On An Online Dating Site?

I’ve never asked a girl out before but I want to try dating. So I went to the highest rated online dating site www.okcupid.com and answered a bunch of questions and it matched me perfectly with 2 girls. I decided to message one of them but I hit the same problem I have when trying to date in real life. I have no experience talking to women. Well I can talk to them as a coworker or as a friend but I don’t even have a vague idea about what to say to them as like a first line. I’m 23 and have absolutely no dating experience whatsoever. I wish I had asked this question before I posted my first message (And indecently the first advance on the opposite sex since middle school) but here is what I sent her:
I’m kind of new to this whole online matching thing but I noticed we have a lot in common. And the things we didn’t have in common were things I wish we did. (i wish I knew Japanese) So you know massage me back and we can talk or something.
P.S. Sorry if the message is lame. Its the first time I’ve been on a site like this so I really didn’t know what to say. lol
I need to know SPECIFICALLY what is write or wrong with this message. Also can someone give me an example of a good first message. None of that “be yourself” crap. I know that already. I just have no idea what I should type to a person the first time.
Plz be specific if you can.
