LOVE AND FLIRTING ARE IN THE NEWS AND TWO UNEXPECTED SOURCES ARE CREATING THE BUZZ -- a nine-year-old author from Colorado and geeks at Potsdam University in Berlin.
I must confess that I learned about the wisdom of the fourth grader's book of love from a mother whose office is in Warwick, Rhode Island. She told me her 11-year-old son was already well-schooled in "How to Talk to Girls."
To one of her co-workers Lisa Potter overheard her infatuated son say, "I know I am not old enough to marry you, but I will wait for you, unless you get too wrinkly." Are we seeing a candidate for Cougar love here? Real Cougar Lifestyle Examiner
The fourth grader's book of love: What started out as a $3 pamphlet in which a fourth grader gave advice on dating girls to fellow students has hit the bookshelves. In a New York Post interview with young Alec Greven of Castle Rock, Colo, the newspaper offered some tips from his dating primer as well as a video link.
The article tells us that "Officials at the Soaring Hawk Elementary School said he wrote the book - which was the runaway bestseller at its book fair - for kids, but believe anyone can find inspiration in it." NY Post
And I am here to tell you, I know a number of women about to buy copies and hand them out to a dozen or so little-boys masquerading as adult men. My thanks to Lisa, who I met through her little green pet, while pricing out car insurance. For the book, How to Talk to Girls
Now about those flirting geeks: A Berlin (Reuters) report says, "Even the most quirky of computer nerds can learn to flirt with finesse thanks to a new 'flirting course' being offered to budding IT engineers at Potsdam University south of Berlin." The goal is to teach master's degree students "how to write flirtatious text messages and emails, impress people at parties and cope with rejection."
It appears that "Students also learn body language, public-speaking, stress management and presentation skills."
Sounds like an interesting way to get a solid footing in the world of love and lies! Reuters.com/
