Is it too forward to send him a friend request while he is right next to me?

I kinda have a crush on a coworker I don't see him very often but sometimes we are stationed right across from each other (we can make eye contact) I found him on social media and want to send him a request would it be too weird to do it while he is so close to me (I kinda WANT to be obvious that I like him) or should I do it while I'm at home?
