Nine-year-old smart Alec writes guide to picking up women

3/12/2008 8:51:00 PM.  | Annika Burgess
At nine-years-old, Alec Greven has already been labelled a ladies' man, after his book on how to pick up women hit shelves in the US.

Alec admits he's only had one crush in his life, but his 46 page book which gives tips such as "don't be a show off", and "go easy on the compliments to avoid looking desperate," has been described as timeless and entertaining by his principal.

Alec's book, How to Talk to Girls stemmed from a pamphlet he wrote for his school's book fair in Castle Rock, Colorado.

The success of his dating tip pamphlets was recognised by local news oulets, and before long the young casonova found himself on the Ellen DeGeneres show, and soon after he signed a book deal with HarperCollins.

"I never expected people to buy it like a regular book in a bookstore," Alec was quoted as saying in New York Post.

Alec says he gets his hot tips from observing what's going on in the playground – but his mother, Erin thinks his worldly knowledge comes from his love of reading.

Alec is currently impressing audiences on his national promotional tour, and says he already has future book ideas, such Alec's tips to talk to mums.

How to Talk to Girls
will hit shelves in Australia in February.
