I'm thinking up of a piece on relationships and dating, and my friend Alexandra pointed out this video, a 5 minute sample of a DVD. Hilarious and totally true.

For the Single guys out there..listen to a 9 year-old's advice!
9 Years-old, precocious kid Alec Greven has written a book on how to how to talk to girls and "Get them to like you", in his words.
From The New York Post:
The fourth-grader from Castle Rock, Colo., advises Lothario wannabes to stop showing off, go easy on the compliments to avoid looking desperate - and be wary of "pretty girls."
"It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry," he writes in Chapter Three.
"Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil." [Smart kid!!]
He advises, "The best choice for most boys is a regular girl. Remember, some pretty girls are coldhearted when it comes to boys. Don't let them get to you." [My favorite point. He's dead-on, unfortunately. We where just discussing this at lunch: cute girls got attention early on, and learned that they don't need to make an effort to be liked.]
Over a few Shirley Temples yesterday at Langan's on West 47 Street, Alec said that he culled his wisdom by peeking at his peers at play.
"I saw a lot of boys that had trouble talking to girls," Alec said.
As for his how-to, he concedes, "I never expected people to buy it like a regular book in a bookstore."
But with classic plain-spoken advice - like "comb your hair and don't wear sweats" - it's no surprise his 46-page book was a hit with boys and girls of all ages.
He believes the best way to approach a girl is to keep it to a simple "hi."
"If I say hi and you say hi back, we're probably off to a good start," he said. [LOL]
As for his own love life, he said he is not dating anyone at the moment. "I'm a little too young," he confessed.
