Twentieth Century Fox has optioned rights to “How to Talk to Girls,” a newly published advice guide written by Alec Greven, a 9-year-old published-author on the subject.
The advice seems simple enough to follow: Greven’s tips range from the facts of life ("Sometimes, you get a girl to like you, then she ditches you. Life is hard, move on!”), to getting a girl’s attention (”Show off a skill, like playing soccer or anything else that you are good at.”) to talking to girls ("You also have to be aware that girls win most of the arguments.”) to dealing with crushes ("It can be very hard to get a girl to like you. Sometimes it takes years! Whatever happens, just don’t act desperate.”).
