The book "How to get a teen-age girl & what to do with her -,  by Roman Polanski, is no longer sold.  Craigs List has one good lead, although at 26 she may be a tad old.

Methinks the 50,000 copies were bought by fat middle age men.

I think your #1 should b:

1/ say "hello"

Honestly, would it have taken you more to have had your interest captured by an attractive older woman?

Heck, I might even suggest "show signs of life"

(ha! turing word "malif" that's close enough for a coincidence for me!)

When I was a teenager, if this tried to get me - she would not have to try very hard. This kinda woman is what makes teenage boys glad they are alive. WHEEEEEEOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I think Polanski relied upon those old standbys: 'ludes, booze and not taking "no" or "stop" for an answer.

Roman, you romantic devil, you!

Per Wikipedia, if you can believe anything they say there, and quite often I don't:

Ellen Peck (1942 – March 15, 1995) was an American feminist, writer, and childfree activist.

Early life and career as a "Teen Expert"
Born Ellen Remsburg to C. M. and Genevieve Remsburg of Normal, Illinois, Peck attended University High School there and graduated in 1960. She was a high achiever and a standout within her peers, acting as a leader in political, acting and debate arenas. Before becoming famous, and for many years thereafter, Ms. Peck served as an eighth-grade English teacher at Pimlico Junior High School in Baltimore, Maryland where she was known for wearing skirts so short they would not have been allowed on students.[1] She became famous in 1969 for writing How to Get a Teen-Age Boy, and What to Do With Him When You Get Him,[2] a sort of Sex and the Single Girl for teens. At the time the book was taken seriously, but later Ms. Peck claimed it was written as "humor"[3] and it is usually missing from subsequent lists of her books. The book was quite popular, selling more than 50,000 copies in hard-cover,[4] and during the 1970s she wrote an advice column for teen-agers, called "The Column," which appeared in The Baltimore Sun and was nationally syndicated.[5] She subsequently wrote another book promoting precocious sexuality, Sex and Birth Control: a Guide for the Young (1973), with James Lieberman, M.D.

And there you have it.

"She never had children and eventually divorced. She died of cancer on March 15, 1995 in New York."

It seems that God eventually says, "OK, enough of that."
