Girls 101: Learn the basics
Alec Greven, 9, shares advice on winning with the ladies in his new book, "How to Talk to Girls".

Single pro #7: No breakups
Do we have to remind you how much better it is to be single than it is to be in the wrong relationship? Breakups can be nasty, heartbreaking, and really interrupt your life, especially if it’s gone on for a while and you’ve mixed friends, left your favorite perfume at his house, and bonded with his sister. Just be glad to know that you won’t have to go through this, at least for a while.

Single pro #8: Fantasies can be reality
This is the time for you to figure out exactly what you want, when you want it, and how you’re gonna go get it. Nothing is holding you back right now! Since you’re single, you can spend all the time you want deciding exactly what kind of man you want. Then you can build him from scratch and enjoy your life to the fullest until he comes. Fun! (See Chapter 2 on how to build a boyfriend!)

Single pro #9: Test the waters
We don’t advocate sluttiness, but this is the time when you are allowed to sleep with anyone you want. Hot Chicks don’t cheat, so if you’re planning on getting married one day, you better get it out of your system now. At the very least, have an exciting enough heyday that you’ll be able to look back on and blush. Just use a condom (or several).

Single Pro #11: Bathroom bliss
Unless you have a male roommate, you are so fortunate to not have to share your bathroom with a boy. Seriously, their beard hairs stick to the bathroom sink like Krazy Glue, they will do things like knock your dental floss in the toilet and put it back in the medicine cabinet without telling you, and, sorry to be gross, they can make the bathroom smell really, really bad. Oh, and we swear they use our expensive eye creams and teeth whiteners when we’re not around.

Single pro #12: Girl time
You have more time for fun girly projects, and admit it, you totally get off on making scrapbooks and bedazzling things and using a hot glue gun to decorate picture frames. It’s really hard to find time to do all this stuff and have fun girly brunches and go shopping with your sister when you have to make time to hang out with your man, too.

Single pro #13: Private parts
This is the time to get to know your girly parts and figure out what you like, whether it’s with a partner or by yourself! You can’t be a Hot Chick if you don’t know your body and feel totally comfortable in your own skin. Plus, we want you to truly enjoy being single. So shut your bedroom door and have fun.

Single pro #14: No bickering
Think about the fact that you don’t have someone always watching you and complaining about how you didn’t cap the seltzer tightly enough or how your thick, lustrous hair always gets caught in the drain. Relationships can be great, but none of them are perfect. And arguing about really dumb sh-- (which is totally normal and healthy, by the way) can be really, really annoying.

Single pro #15: Food freedom
The number one argument between every couple we know is over where the hell they should eat dinner. But you sexy single girls don’t have to wait to eat until your man gets home at 8:30 and end up getting into a giant fight because you’re so LBS [low blood-sugar]. Nor do you have to listen to a diatribe about how you put too much importance on food just because you want to eat dinner with your man every now and then. You can eat frozen yogurt for dinner whenever you feel like it without anyone thinking that you’re pulling a Mary Kate. Eat whatever and whenever you want! This is a highly underrated freedom.
