Avatar Dating 101



A good friend of mine just reminded me of how much I genuinely loved Avatar. I mean, I know I liked it. It was a kick ass movie -- A little disorienting in 3D-- with awesome visuals and stellar effects. I even liked the predictable Pocahontas story line. But since it had been out of theaters and not quite on DVD I'd forgotten how much I really liked it. Not to mention Zoe Saldana. And I love her. I have ever since Center Stage, before that probably. And I want to be her when I grow up. but I'm digressing...

Anyways soo Avatar. The language of the people is actually a really great way to communicate with the opposite sex. Either way you're going to scare them off (which is always a plus when you're garnering unwanted attentions.) This is Dating 101 via Avatar.

Making Contact: With a generally acceptable male
Him- Aye girl
You- I see you
Him- I see you too?
You- I see you *with gesture*
Him- ....okay... *walks away*
Problem Solved

Making Contact: With a generally unacceptable male
Him- Aye girl
You- ......
Him- You hear me
You- ...*Hiss/growl at him*
Him- blah blah blah
You- You should not beee here *gesture*
Him- Stunned
You- Calmly walk away
Proceed with your business as usual

Trying to throw off an attached one...
Him- blah blah blah blah blah blah
You- We are mated for liiiifffeee
Him- (receding footfalls as he runs away)
Mission Accomplished 

Hahaha. And there you have dating 101 according to Avatar. If you are unfamiliar with the phrasing or enunciation of certain lines or would like an excellent guide of how to say things properly, please see the movie. All of these are done expertly by Zoe, princess of The People.
