 Go slow! If she's separated, she still has business with her soon-to-be-ex husband. Stay friends for now. Get to know her without the pressure of getting sexual or asking her out. Let her open up emotionally to you on a platonic level. Get to know what she likes, and after a bit of time cultivating your friendship, ask her out to something that she really enjoys!
But the idea is patience and time! Are you worried that if you go slow, someone else will snap her up? Don't worry about that. She's separated, so I'm guessing that since she's similar to your age, she's still adjusting to the idea of being single.
You'll know when it's time. Talk to her a lot. Go out with her platonically by finding something fun to do together. Build that emotional bond, and then you'll know!
