Nine-year-old sensation Alec Greven knows just how to talk to girls and wants to share his 7 tips for winning over a crush.

Comb your hair. Don't wear sweats. Show off a skill. Young lothario Alec Greven's bestselling How to Talk to Girls has plenty of handy hints on how to get the girl of your dreams. And his love tips are useful for every boy, whether he is nine or ninety. The 7 tips below were transcribed from an author video taped at HarperCollins Publishers in New York City -- click the link at the bottom to watch the original.

Tip #1: The Facts of Life
If you fall in love with a girl, but then she ditches you, then you then you have to get over it. Life is hard -- move on.

Tip # 2: Crushes
Crushes are kind of a good thing or a bad thing. They kind of go up and down like a stock market. Some of the things you should do: you can't be goofy; you have to control your hyperness, cut down on sugar if you have to because, unless the girl is hyper, and that's pretty rare, you won't get off to a good start.

Tip #3: There's a Girl for Every Boy
Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil, and all they do is always worry about their looks, how good they look. They don't worry about anything else. Regular girls, they don't care about how they look; they care about other things, but they're still pretty. So that's why the best choice is a regular girl.

Tip #4: How to get a Girl's Attention
Well, when you want to get a girl's attention you don't want to be flapping your arms like a crazy madman. You kind of want to stick out a little but don't stick out too much. If you're talkative, don't go for a shy girl; you want to go usually for a regular girl, because what could happen is this: you could just keep saying words and it could actually scare the girl and she'll say, ‘this boy's weird.'

Tip #5: What to Say to Girls
The first word you want to say in a conversation is, ‘hi.' If she says ‘hi' back, you're off to a good start. If she doesn't say ‘hi' back, you know that you're kind of in trouble, so you want to say, ‘What did you do over the summer?' or something like ‘Did you see that episode of...blank.'

Tip #6: Gifts, Flowers and Other Things
The rule with gifts is, really, don't give her gifts unless it's a special occasion like a school dance or something. If you went into elementary school and you're like, ‘Here, I got these for you!' It's too suspicious. They're going to be, like ‘You like her.' And that's kind of what it gets into and then the girl will ditch you.

Tip #7: Success!
If you keep going on that, you'll be successful, and then you could keep her until middle school and possibly until high school, and that's when you start taking her out to dates and everything and then who knows, you could get married.

Best of luck to everyone!!
