How to Talk to Girls~

Well, let me clear this up that this book is definitely not for me. I actually was told about it by my roommate and we all decided to read it to see what it says....because it was written by a 9 year old. No lie. Pretty crazy, eh? It was a pretty interesting read, if I do say so myself. I wonder if guys will read this ever and try it all out. Taking advice from a 9 year old....wonderful....haha!


Ok, I feel like I should break this up into some pieces to get my opinion out there. The first part is saying that life is hard, move on, only go for one girl, etc etc. Then it goes into a chapter called "crushes". The first page of it made me laugh. It has a "tip" that says "to get a girl to like you, talk to her and get to know her." This is in reference to if you already like that girl. Um.....wouldn't you know things about her if you had a crush on her? I don't know how I feel about this tip....it makes sense for sure, but....I think you need to know her before you start to like her, before you start working on her liking you. But like I said, this was written by a 9 year old...


Another thing it says, "pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil". Hahaha! It defines what a pretty girl is in the book. Debatable?  And, take that phrase how you wish. If you want to know the context of it in the book, then you should check it out ha.


It also says to boys to not be a show-off. You want to show the girl you have skills, but you don't want to overdo it so the girl thinks you're just self-conceited. So true. What girl likes a boy who can't stop standing in front of mirror? I sure don't. Take this one definitely into heart boys; show what skills you have, but don't act like you're the most amazing person ever. Let the girls decide on that. 


I have nothing to say about this, but it's in the book and I thought it was hilarious. Remember this is written by a 9 year old! It says that a way to talk to girls is to get their phone number (if your mom lets you call girls). Hahaha! So funny.....needing to ask permission to call a girl. Oh the elementary days...


Anyway, the chapter about talking to girls is pretty good. Boys, if you want a girl to like you, you really do need to take the effort to make conversation with them. If she doesn't talk much then she either thinks the conversation is boring or she's not interested in you. And it's totally fine if she's not! Move on. This chapter actually has some good tips for you boys. But point is, keep the conversation going if you want to talk to her!! Especially if she's not the type to do all the talking. 


Next part is a good one. It says to give the girl gifts. Find out things she likes beforehand and then buy her one of those. It doesn't even have to be big. Find out things from her friends so she doesn't know what's up. Or.....buy flowers!!! Even one is fine. Man I would love to get flowers sometime. That'd be nice. I think this is a major plus for a guy. For real, it doesn't have to be anything big, just as long as the girl knows you were thinking of her. And if it's something she likes, then she knows that you know her, another plus!!! Take that one into consideration haha. 


That's pretty much the end of the book. The last chapter says to not cheer in front of the girl when you "succeed" in winning her. And don't brag, or else you have to start all over again. When you have a girl, and you like each other, don't be looking for other girls. That's just a big no. If you're going to do that, then don't go through all this trouble only to ditch the chick. 


I feel like I'm giving tips to boys. Well, I guess that's what this is, since I'm talking about the book How to Talk to Girls. I must give credit to this book for sure. So, this blog was based on the book called, 
How to Talk to Girls by Alec Greven. Published by HarperCollins. Available at pretty much any book store, I'm sure. Just google it and you'll be good I'm sure. Great stuff this 9 year old wrote.


Anyway, I must also add that the things from the book are, well, from the book, and what I have put in this blog is solely my own opinion and views on this book and the advice it gives. I'm not forcing it upon you, the reader, but just voicing it out there. I believe that's all in the life of me!
