comment
Birds of a Feather: Deconstructed with Tom and Liv. They are both nice (arguably too much so), and have many of the same interests. However, they realize that they're too comfortable with each other, and they need someone who would push them to change. Seemingly played straight with Cal and Kacey, though they take a while to realize this. Liv and Jim appear to also be this, but it's also deconstructed, though for different reasons than with Tom.

Bittersweet Ending
 Mixology / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: On the sweet side for most characters. Tom and Maya end up together, as do Cal and Kacey, while Bruce and Jessica end up as friends. On the other hand, Liv has broken up with Jim and leaves for India to find herself, while Ron, without a romance, still has to deal with the recent collapse of his company. For the others, it appears that nothing has changed, as Dominic merely goes home alone, and Fab has a one-night stand with a Hawaiian man who it's implied she will not see again. Bruce's final narration, over a montage of the characters, seems to confirm this.

Kavorka Man: Bruce is not particularly attractive, and from what is shown, his attitude isn't that great. But flashbacks establish that he is able to get a lot of women despite this. He even states in the pilot "I get laid all the time, and I am disgusting. Head to toe." Justified, given his backstory.

Opposites Attract: Tom and Maya have a connection, despite not being alike. Zig-zagged between Kacey and Dominic, as in the pilot, she tries to break off their casual relationship because he's a dark person and she's positive, but is too attracted to him to actually keep to it. Until she meets Cal.

Once More, with Clarity
 Mixology / int_7374ab13
comment
Once More, with Clarity: Used in the episodes "Dominic & Kacey" and "Bruce & Maya". Kacey's view of her casual relationship with Dominic had her believe he was complimenting her, and then she thought him setting up a lot of candles in the bar was to set a romantic atmosphere. When those events are shown from Dominic's perspective, we see that he was talking to himself in the mirror to prep for the night when she happened to walk by, and the candles were because the power was out, and the technician under the bar, who Kacey couldn't see, needed to work. Bruce seemingly begins flirting with Maya to make Jessica jealous, but it starts to go somewhere, in Tom's perspective. A flashback of the same events from Cal's perspective shows Bruce was baiting Tom to get him closer to Maya to impress her.

Accidental Bargaining Skills: One episode has a man who mistakes Maya for a prostitute, proposes that she allow him to take to Paris for $1,000,000. Her disbelief causes him to think that's too cheap, so he offers her next $2,000,000. She explains that she's not a prostitute and he asks if she'd still like to go to Paris. She won't go for free.

Odd Name Out: Most of the episodes are named after the two characters who are given flashbacks in them. The exceptions are the last two episodes, called "Last Call" and "Closing Time". And arguably "Fab & Jessica & Dominic", which is named after three characters instead of two, though one of them isn't given flashbacks. Also arguably "Tom & Maya Part II" due to the last part.

Fridge Brilliance: Cal and Bruce mention Laura's new boyfriend is "nicer than Tom". Given Tom's personality (and Laura's) does this mean her new man is even more of a pushover than Tom is? Bruce mentions he is between jobs, while flashbacks reveal him to have had sex with his boss, and show a conversation before this where she states he could be fired for coming on to her and him claiming he doesn't even know what the company does. Is this why he no longer works there?

Has a Type: Maya only dates professional athletes, since she considers them "real men". Liv, on the other hand, likes "safe guys". Both of them learn to step away from this over the course of the series. A couple of episodes also feature Trista, a girl who has a thing for red-headed men. And apparently Laura too, if Fridge Brilliance is considered.
