Girls what would you think of this?

A friend of mine from college and I went to grab a bite to eat the other night while she was back in town for the holiday. She lives in a different state about a 1,000 miles away now. While we were talking she brought up that I would probably think one of her friends is cute and proceeded to show me a picture. I did happen to think her friend was very cute. This is probably kind of creepy but I ended up looking up her friend on Facebook later as well. Hey come on now, don't act like you wouldn't do the same. However, my question is would it be weird if I asked my friend to put us in touch? I have never spoken to this girl. She may or may not have any idea who I am since I don't know whether my friend has ever brought me up in front of her friend. I am interested in getting in touch with my friend's friend that lives a 1,000 miles away. First of all as a girl would you think this is very weird? What would you suggest the best method for doing so is while not being weird and creepy. I can imagine if a girl tells another girl that hey so I showed your picture to my friend and he's interested in meeting you that may be off putting and cause a lack of interest. Fyi. I'm In my early to mid 20's as is my friend and we have professional jobs. I'd prefer girls that are over 20 years old answer this one.
