Having problems finding the ideal woman? All you need is advice from a specialist, which you can find in a new book on relationships called ‘How to talk to Girls’. Keep in mind, though, that the author is just 9 years old.
3rd-grader Alex Greven from Castle Rock, Colorado wrote his survey for his school’s book fair, but the school principal saw potential in the 46-page handwritten pamphlet and contacted Harper Collins Publishing.
Now ‘How to talk to Girls’ is for sale in bookstores and online for $US 10.
“About 73 percent of regular girls ditch boys. About 98 percent of pretty girls ditch boys. Life is hard. Move on,” says Alex Greven in his book.
The young love doctor suggests that a boy who wants to have a serious relationship with a girl should be friendly, attentive and be able to say compliments. He also stresses that during the conversation with the girls he shouldn’t boast or look gloomily. In addition, the author advises all the boys to brush their hair and dress neatly.
Alex writes that the majority of boys should have a constant girlfriend. He also gives tips how to recognize a beautiful girl: she’s always well-dressed, wears earrings and jewelry. However, he cautions his readers, telling them that the most beautiful girls are usually very cold when talking to boys.
Alex Greven says he decided to write his book because he saw a lot of boys having problems in communication with the fairer sex.
The author of ‘How to talk to Girls’ is not dating anyone at the moment because he thinks he’s too young to do so, but he’ll certainly have a girlfriend when he turns 15 years old.
Alex Greven has just finished his second book, which is a child’s view on the Watergate scandal. His dream is to become a real writer when he grows up.
