How to make friends?

So my husband and I share a Facebook because before me he didn't do anything on it and now I keep all family updated on it. He had a friend who's wife friend requested him, cool we accepted. Now she posts a bunch of stuff I feel the same about or things making me feel like we may have things in common, especially mom stuff, I want to kinda ask her to be my friend but I am not sure how. How would you go about it?

** I want to add this isn't a close friend of my husband's or anything, merely a friend of a friend, is asking to go to coffee or play date too forward?
