First of all, I don't think that it's inappropriate. It would be a little unusual, since being friends on a networking site is usually secondary to being friends in real life. However, if a person friends me on facebook and then uses my acceptance as an ice breaker in real life, it's usually fine. But if you friend him on facebook and continue not talking to him in real life, that's a tad weird and won't reflect well on you.
Regardless of the online friending, I'd suggest talking to him. People are sociable creatures, and I think that gets underestimated a lot. He may not fall for you, but I'm sure he'll be open to conversation.

online requests are meant to be asked for in person
i for one put myself on a sabbatical because I was using facebook too much, so now that I'm more outgoing and stuff I'm meeting girls left and right, its also forcing me to get the number more than the url/sn since I'm on an AIM sabbatical too
try asking him in person for it, if he hasn't already gotten your number
I know this question is meant for the guys but I think I can help a little...If you send him a friend request on fb it may be a little weird because he'll probably think "Oh she's searching for me aggressively"...I mean, if you see him a lot in person then why don't you take the chance to talk to him when you see him instead? It would be better and more real... However, if you're shy, maybe you can send him a msg on fb (instead of a friend request) and say something like "You look familiar" then if he's interested, he'll send you a friend request...
I don't think it is weird. GO FOR IT! And yes he will like it! LOL

A friend req doesn't really mean ne thing..if a girl sent me a request how am I suppossed to know if she likes me? Plenty of people are just trying to add more friends to their page. Unless you write a note or something he may not realize what ur trying to do.
just do it. worse thing that could happen is he doesn't accept it. Then 'WOW!' I got denied on Facebook...big deal. There is more to life.
well at first if she was hot than I would def accept
cause since you don't really know them you gotta go off looks
but some guys just add whoever and don't even look at the picturei tend to friend people after I've known them for a bit. That would be wierd, yes. So I wouldn't friend her in the first place, but honestly, I'd be surprised if she did.
I make it a habit to only add people I know and even more so I only add people I actually like.
I wouldn't mind at all. As long as she is honest about how she feels... she could be the 1. You won't know till you try.
