I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on this as well.
As for me, I'd rather be the first to be raising here, I probably wouldn't push right now either as I really don't have any kind of read. If I had a larger stack then I can see pushing, but I don't really feel like gambling my whole stack with 7s. If he calls your dominated by a quite a few hands or your at least in a coinflip situation. If you feel like gambling then I guess it's fine. More than likely I would probably rather just fold right here in this situation, then again I'm a nit. So that's just my take on it.

I think either a fold or shove is correct. You have around 20bbs so, imo, not quite deep enough to just call for set value here.
A fold here is marginally tight, but never a bad mistake.
You do have good fold equity, having around the same stack.. but it's a little too aggressive with no reads at this stage, for me.
With no reads, I'd want TT>AA or AK (very possibly AQs) to make this move. So, I'd fold this time, and make a note of how aggressive he is over the next 10 or so hands... reducing my requirements to come over the top of him if he's raising too much.
