in response to sarahluvsu182 about the title "Recurring Motifs in Historical Flirtings", a motif is a recurring theme, subject, or statement, especially used in literature (i.e: a motif in Jane Eyre is forms of oppression). so, when he's talking about motifs in flirting, he's talking about the 4 words "let's just be friends." the song is about a breakup, obviously, and the obvious motifs that continue to occur in all breakups/relationships.
