disagree  Chicago-Bosnian: she did not say, "take me with you". she said " take me out" thats totally different meaning if you are reffering to american english, and person mentioned in the note, "american culture".

another meaning


Explanation:
ball game has another popular idiomatic meaning - centar dogadjaja, mjesto rada, mesto odvijanja dogadjaja kao i svrha, situacija i sl.
Dakle izraz moze znaciti i

upoznaj me sa situacijom

odvedi me na mjesto dogadjaja

i sl.
To je samo idiom. znac.
Bez konteksta i ja bi posla za ono prvo:)

Izvedi me na utakmicu.


Explanation:
1]"izvedi me" reffers to a wish to go with certain person to the [e.g "ballgame"]. This expression "izvedi me" is mostly used for dates.
2]some other suggestions such as "povedi me" or " vodi me" are expressions that are used mostly when you want to go to [e.g "ball game"] not necessarily a "date".
a)"povedi me" ....could mean "to accompany someone only",such as " take me with you" but not " take me out".
b)"vodi me" ....could mean that person doesnt know how to get there and you are asking "to take you there". It sounds like an order or requirement.
