They would send you a request to be linked. Linkedin will only make suggestions as to people you might know, e.g. email contacts of emails contacts as opposed to friends of friends.

I've seen this happen with Linkedin. They asked me to let them scan my email folder for people I may know who are on linkedin. I did and then they by default check every box to be sent an invitation, you have to go through your entire list to decide who to send invites to and who not. I did this and they still sent invites to people I did not want to invite. Then I noticed a bunch of suggestions of people who are only connected to me by certain business contacts who I did not invite, leading me to assume linkedin made that decision for me.
