I told colleague that it was sad that I couldn't work directly with her more often and she assumed I was lamenting work tasks rather than her?

Is this a hint not to send her a friend request on Facebook or ask her to get together outside of work?

I told a woman I work with that I was sad that I couldn't work in the office she works in more often. I thought that I gave enough hints that I meant that then, I could then spend more time with her. But her response included sympathetically talking mainly about the duties of the positions in her office rather than saying things like, oh yes, it certainly would be nice to work with you on a regular basis. I tried to make it more personal by saying 'it's really nice working with you', but instead of replying 'it's really nice working with you too', she said, 'it's good working with you too', and then she continued to talk about the job duties of people in her office.

Some people are just so work focused at work that they forget the personal connection sometimes and put it aside all together at work. It can't hurt to send a Facebook friend request. It is pretty harmless, most people know not to put anything too personal on Facebook.

Might think you are coming on too strongly. Most people are conditioned to be suspicious of nice or overly friendly people as seeking some kind of advantage or relationship.

Sometimes no matter how nice you are with people they don't want to bend to be closer friends and that's what this woman seems to be.

Yes don't ask her distance yourself from her

Suggest getting together for coffee. If she says No, then forget about her.
