Getting down with that would qualify.

How are you?

I was watching a movie '21',
and I saw this interesting expression.
Check this out,please.

Mike and Tom, two best buddies, are playing basketball
when this gorgeous girl passes by.
Mike takes quite a shine to her, with his heart pumping.

Tom suggests Mike ask her out but he's hesitant
'cause Mike believes she's out of his league.

Trying to encourage his friend,
Tom says to Mike, with his finger pointing at the girl,

'You know, you say you want a life experience, right?
Well, I'd say getting down with that would definitely qualify'

Not knowing what 'get down with something,
I looked up the dictionary to find out that
it means to become good friends with somebody.
( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/get_down_with )

So, let me rephrase what Tom said.

'You know, you say you want a life experience, right?
Well, I'd say if you become one of her good friends,
it will surely meet the requirement of a life experience.'

I guess Tom was saying, like,

you want a life experience,
and asking her out is the very experience that you've been looking for.
Go for it!

Did I guess it right?
I'd appreciate any comment.
Thank you.

@SMickey,
No. that interpretation is way too tame and, frankly, quite incorrect..

Simply put, in that context ...in all likelyhood...it means having sex.

However, in other general contexts, it means 'I'm OK with doing that' ... or 'I'm in agreement with doing (something)'.

@SMickey,
In some contexts it means to have sex with someone.

@SMickey,
In this context it means having a relationship with the woman in question.

@Ragman,
Oh really?
By the way, when Tom said 'get down with that',
did 'that' mean 'that bitch'?

@SMickey,
No. Not at all. I don't see it in that context.

@ehBeth,
Thank you, ehBeth.
Once again, I realize contexts quite often matters more than just its meaning.

Hoping to find relative idioms,
I entered 'get down with someone' and 'get down with something' on the internet, which didn't turn out to be fruitful.

Simply put, is there any idiom widely used, like,
'get down with something or get down with someone'?

I'd be so glad to hear your comment.
