Impressing girls has always been tough for boys. But for nine-year-old Alec Greven, it seems like child’s play. No wonder his debut book How To Talk To Girls has been gaining so much popularity.
A standard IV student of Soaring Hawk Elementary School in Colorado, Alec’s writing has been inspired by his own observations in his school surroundings. He thinks the best way to start a conversation with a girl is to simply say ‘Hi’. And if she responds, then it’s a pretty good start!
In the book, Alec states, “A crush is like a love disease. It can drive you mad…Many boys get crushes on girls. But it can be very hard to get a girl to like you. Sometimes it takes years. Whatever happens, just don’t act desperate. Girls don’t like desperate boys.”
He adds, “If you do get a girl to like you, that is victory. Winning victory is a dream for most boys, but it is very rare.” Alec advises boys to go for regular girls. “About 73 per cent of regular girls ditch boys; 98 per cent of pretty girls ditch boys. Life is hard, move on,” he writes.

“I try to treat girls like any of my other friends. If I like somebody, I’ll go and say hi to her. After that, it depends on her if she wants to talk. If I have to impress her, I’ll gift her chocolates and show some good manners.”

“I’d start by giving her a compliment about how beautiful she looks. I’ll make sure that I am well dressed at that time.”

“I believe in confronting the girl face to face. Once, I was absent in class and needed to catch up on class work. So I went up to a girl and asked for her phone number. She was sweet and gave it to me easily.”

“Things are easier with girls because they don’t do maara-maari like boys.”
