Girls, Would it be weird to sit next to a girl in a college lecture?

Say there is a girl I like, and I wanna sit next to her and start a conversation to see if we hit it off or if she is interested. Would it be weird to sit next to her even though the class is 50% empty? I was thinking of asking her if its cool if I can sit next to her, then introducing myself, then seeing where the conversation goes. If she does not seem interested I would back off. Would that be weird or am I overthinking this?
