Get Dating Advice from a 9 Year Old

Alec Greven is a 4th grader who began to write his book on dating advice when he was eight. He spent time observing boys and girls on the playground at school and wrote down things he saw that worked and also things that didn't. The book is full of little pearls of wisdom. For instance:

"Whatever happens, just don’t act desperate. Girls don't like desperate boys."

Desperation never looks good on anyone. Desperation also translates to needy, clingy, whiny, and exceedingly urgent. Think sweaty palms, babbling, mumbling, shifty features, and occasionally a mean comment or too. This leads into this next gem:

"Many boys who have crushes don’t know how to act around a girl. Some boys tease girls they like and are mean to them. Some boys say silly things to girls and act goofy. Some boys think they are acting cool by showing off."

Who is the book for?

Wives have given it to husbands as a joke. Alec Grevan says it's for anyone and others say it's for ages eight to eighty. He says boys should start young. I say if you're eighty and started at eight and still haven't figured out girls to some extent then something is wrong! The inside has cute little black and white line drawings and covers forty-eight pages.

And before you ask this little heartbreaker doesn't have a girlfriend or even a crush at the moment. Grevan is currently on tour for his book as has two other books written about talking to moms and dads.

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)
