I need a little info to make sure that's the person I'm looking for. A picture, college, high school and some other details to make sure I'm looking at the right Jenn Smith. At the very least!

Message them and ask them. There are myriad reasons people may have an unfamiliar name on their profile (I mentioned teachers earlier) and it's kind of rude to expect them to risk their privacy just so you can figure it out without stepping out and asking.
To the OP: Make everything private. "Get to know you a lot better" really means "try to find out if she's a slut/lush/geek etc." It's NOT a positive thing, however they may try to spin it.
