PROTIP:
As long as the fetish doesn't involve hurting themselves, or somebody else, and is consensual, we don't think people should be quick to judge fetishes as abnormal or threatening.

How to Talk to Girls is a kids' self-help book written by Alec Greven, who at the time of print was 9 years old and has created an entire series of similar books like this one. Chris purchased this book in early 2009 under the guidance of his pastoral counselor and the John Tesh Radio Show, and in Chris's words is a "great book." The book itself is a guide on how to gain a boyfriend-free girl. It is not a good book for adults to take advice from seeing as the pages are 2-3 short sentences long, consisting of advice aimed at children around Alec's age. However, given that Chris is probably around Alec's age mentally, if not younger, it seems only appropriate.
The advice given is quite simple: "The first thing you should say to a girl is hi" or "Don't act desperate, girls hate desperate boys". Despite the simplicity, Chris believes that the book will help him get a girlfriend, regardless of the fact that keeping an older girlfriend is a lot harder to do than a 9 year old one, and most of Alec's points are null when it comes to older women, especially ones around Chris's age who won't be swooned by a simple "hi" or "I like to draw, how 'bout you?" Although this does explain why he thinks that discussing one's favorite color is a romantic conversation.
In Sonichu #9, several concepts from the book are used in the Dating education class.
Chris's views on magnets and metals
Despite the fact that Chris has never had a girlfriend, he still disagrees with Alec about how men are the "magnets" and women are the "metals", and insists that it could go the other way around; that is, women can attract men, with men playing a passive role in courting. This sadly demonstrates how a 9-year-old boy has a better understanding of gender roles in modern Western society than a 30 year old man(child) does.
