'Try to be the smartest boy in class.' ..writes 9 yr old Alec Greven in How To Talk To Girls. Sure, he may not have much dating experience--and admittedly, I haven't read the book--but this charming little guy is onto something and may have better advice than John Gray. The author loves to read and write and has already won me over... He's also donating a portion of proceeds to Stand Up To Cancer. Note to Alec, some of the coolest girls do like 'bugs and gross things'. You'll see ;)
