I'd like to know why as a ten-year-old you're interested in girls to begin with. Shouldn't you be out there being a kid, doing kid things rather than spending all your time thinking about how to get girls?

I think society is putting way too much pressure on kids to do adult-like things, and in our hyper-sexualized society, this extends to ten year olds trying to get dates. This is actually pretty crazy when you think about it!

I say, don't bow into the pressure. Be yourself, enjoy your time as a kid (it's short enough as it is), do things kids love to do and there'll be plenty of time later on to worry about getting dates.

I'm about to spend two weeks with a lady (and I think a wonderful lady) I met on eHarmony who I have never laid eyes on. I believe what he has said about how to talk to girls has eternal import, whether it comes from a ten-year old or an old codger like me. I'm going to keep it simple. Keep her smiling, keep her entertained and hope she likes me. As naive as it may sound, the young man has the right idea.

I don't think this kid is an example of hypersexualization. And he might be a trifle early in his interest in girls, but so what? What his book is really about is How To Be Nice. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe he picked this up because he lives with a nice family who speak to one another respectfully and kindly and he's noticed that life is a little easier when you are nice.

I'm gonna go buy copies just to support this kind of thinking in the world. Way to go Alec! Keep on writing! I think you are one nice guy who will not finish last!

If people buy this book the only thing you will be supporting is this kids parents. *shakes head

It's a cute idea, and a cute kid, but i think money would be better spent given to a charity if someone wants to really do some good.

Personally, I think it can be this simple. Adults are the ones who complicate things. I agree with the kid, smiles mean a lot. He didn't mention eye contact though. Maybe it's in his book. Smart Kid.

Maybe when he grows up he can write "How to talk to women." That's a whole different beast.

This kid is too intelligent & old for me and other men. We adult men really need the "wisdom" of an infant baby...yeah that's the ticket.

If you are going to have a se xually biased article [which this one is] then at least make it funny!

Meanwhile back at the Ranch, his mother and father are busy typing away on "his" new book."

Says mom "psst now remember, we didn't help you, offer you any advice or type anything, ok? We'll get you a new gamer computer for this..."

O.K. I just love all of your comments. They're SUPER. I just wonder why all youlovely, wonderful, criticle thinking people are able to express your thoughts. I tastefully expressed my opinion and it was obliterated by some mysterious entity. I guess my comments are just so prolific and powerful ,I have been earmarked to be PC on my PC- ha, ha, ha, (think of a droll tone). These are supposed to represent parise for a ten yeaar old's "insightful advice" for successful adult relationships. I'm sure his life experiences are much richer than mine. I'd love to take him to Chucky- Cheese to express my faithful thanks. He has given literature a tremendous contribution. I bought a book for each of you. Expect it around the next millinium.



Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, adorable, soooooooo cute 4th of July.

Of all the threads I've come across since being on eH, I must say that this is the most impressive one, I think for obvious reasons.  Congrats Alec.  Keep up the good work.
