I want to write to ask out my prof?

[Smiley]

This fall, I was in a statistics class. Math and I were not best friends to start with, but I went into stats cause counselor told me it was going to benefit me overall. By the time class began, i fell behind. At this time, I started to get too relaxed about the class. I'd never failed a class before so I didn't think I would this one. I was at first indifferent about the prof. I never went to office hours or anything till almost end of the semester when I began to notice how extremely smart he was and what a good teacher I had and I was not taking advantage of that. I started to feel uncomfortable and embarassed that I was failing the class. It seemed like he saw something in me. I felt it. At this point I began to try harder, but i was running out of time. I just had the final and he even tried to give me some clues on it. He usually grades me very harshly on tests and quizes. I'm thankful for that and i feel like i should have more closure. I only took that one class at that particular college and I most likely won't take him again if I fail. do you think its ok to write him an email? what should I say? How should I approach this? Would he think I'm weird? He said he had a good semester even though I failed, well practically did. Maybe its better to go see him and talk to him sincerely face to face.
