Is it weird for a girl to slide into a guy’s dm on Instagram?

I met this guy through a friend the other night & thought he was nice & funny & cute & I would like to get to know him more but my friend isn’t that close with him so she can’t help me and I requested his insta but his snap wasnt in his bio and idk if I should make a move or not Bc I’m a year older than him (grade above) so it might be weirdd I don’t wanna embarrass myself Bc he plays soccer and my friend and I like to check out the games sometimes
