If she looks nice tell her "you look very nice, my name is .... by the way". If she doesn't look nice just tell her "nice to meet you, my name is .... by the way".
Don't forget the names! I blew my first date because I never asked her name. I realised after I had only got her internet name. When I called to ask her on a second date I blew it.
No touching at all throughout the date unless she touches you first.
If she goes for a peck on the cheek then that's ok to reciprocate but you shouldn't initiate any touching.

Tell her she looks nice and a cool casual peck on the cheek, be confident with it though as if its the norm

Well, saying she's even prettier than her picture and asking what she's doing for the next 25 years might be piling it on a bit for a first meeting, especially since you only met her a week ago. Comments like that are better saved until and if such time as you've been dating for a couple months or so.
No, tell her it's good to meet her and say it with a big smile. That will get your message across.
Where do you plan to go on your date? I'd recommend you go out somewhere enjoyable, and save going back to your place or hers until you've had a chance to go out a number of times and gotten better acquainted.......good luck!

What SageOldGuy said, except maybe not the "25 years" bit ;)
Also you could give her a peck on the cheek if she seems comfortable.
Good luck and have fun!

You approach her... extend your right hand... and say: "Hi, (her name), I'm (your name). Nice to meet you. It's surprising that you're even prettier than you appear in your profile picture..... but who's noticing? And, by-the-by,.... do you have any plans for the next 25-or-so years?"
That should loosen her up....
Good luck.... First meetings can be lots of fun... and they're terrific if you and she hit it off!!!!!
