i'm a high school student i look decent and i smell good but i was wondering is it okay to talk to a girl in a book store if i don't know her? i'm just trying to find a girl friend and thats the only way to do it or will she view me as weird if i just start talking to her?

I think it would be okay

That's really cool of you to ask, that shows that you have respect for other people, which is very important to have before you find a girlfriend.
You are mature enough to know that sometimes people can be offended by others entering their personal space, so you should be able to realize if it is indeed bothering a person after you start talking to them. It is not perverted or wrong to speak to another person in public, but read their cues.
If they are willing to talk to you, you will be able to tell. If they would rather be alone to read their book or look around in silence, you will be able to read their body language and understand that also.
It only becomes creepy if you follow her around and watch her, especially after she's shown no interest after you've already approached her. You sound like a person who would have good luck finding a girlfriend, especially if youre looking for one in places like a book store instead of a club or place where people might go if they're only looking for sex or a single hookup.

All of your friends were strangers once.
As long as you are polite and don't break any laws, what could be wrong with talking to a girl in a book store.

She might view you as a nice, intelligent, interesting guy. What have you got to lose?? Being rejected is the inherent risk in pursuing new friendships.

A casual conversation is fine. But don't hit on her. That is tacky and does not impress any girl. Being mature, friendly and approachable is very attractive though.

try to approach her very suttul and calm maybe with a question or complement or maybe if you know something about the book she is looking at talk about that a little before you start asking her, her name good luck

yes it's ok to do that; that's how most couples get together anyways, because they were strangers at first. if she rejects you then forget about it cause you'll probably never see her again. if she likes you then good for you. i say wth, you've only got one life to live, so do what you want (legally speaking).

If you are nice and polite, it is a great way to meet people.
