<human>: So I (18 f) am in a tennis PE class at my university, along with a guy (22) who I have gotten to know better as the semester has progressed.  We invariably are court partners when possible, and chat before, during, and after class.  Our interactions have been flirty and friendly, and he seems to be interested.  I find myself inordinately excited for tennis class, just because I get to see him.

I invited him to come with me to a women's varsity tennis match this past weekend (we get extra credit in the class for this) but he was busy.  He expressed interest in instead going to the next home match, which isn't until the beginning of April.  Frankly, I would like to get things moving a little more quickly, as I don't want this to go into the friend zone and then fizzle at the end of the semester.

The class is only twice a week, and is early in the morning.  To compound the difficulty, I don't have time to stay and chat with him after class as I have to rush to my next class.  We are facebook friends, but I kind of dislike facebook and he only checks his every 2-3 days.

So, my question is, should I ask him out on a legit date?  I admit I am not used to initiating dates, especially with older guys.  All the same, I don't want this opportunity (at least for a fun spring fling) to pass.  Would I be jumping the gun a little bit?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I (18f) like a guy (22) in my tennis class, he seems to like me.  Is it a good idea for me to initiate a real date with him?
