There's a girl whom I think is cute and interesting. I want to ask her out on a date, but she barely knows me (we have a class together, that's all). Would it be remiss to ask her out one day, without having gotten to know her very well?

LOL.....at least talk to her a little bit before you ask her out!

Or maybe study with her before you ask her out.

Ask her for a coffee, rather than a 'date'.

After class, scope her out (but no lingering, that's creepy), increase pace slightly to catch-up to her without following so that it will only take you a few seconds to be walking beside her, smile lightly, keep personal distance (about 1.5-2m) wave hello and say:

"Hey X, I was wondering if I could have some help studying for the assignment, do you need a hand too?"

Her response, if it's a yes:

"Cool, uh how about at those table and chairs at the nearby park over there/at those table and chairs at the nice cafe/at the bottom of those set of concrete stairs/etc.?"

Keep it public, in an open, semi-crowded space.

Go from there, playa.

I actually have a group project coming up with her, so I might just test the waters then. I'm afraid that if I don't ask her out on a date right away, my intentions will not be seen, and I'll end up %$#^&! up like I always do, which is thinking that a girl likes me when she doesn't.

Yeah I think it's best to just ask her out if that is your intention, so you know right off if she's interested in more than platonic friendship. Certainly try and talk to her a little more while working on the project but don't try to just be 'friends' to ask her out later...if you're interest is dating her. I think the only time it really works for 'friends' to become something more is if they started hanging out as friends with no romantic interest and it slowly developed between them. But the old 'try to be her friend to get a date' method seems like it backfires more often than not.
