saddly there is little you can do--I have a lady friend who is still "stuck" on a real piece of *&!@--fortunately she stays away from him but still has feelings for him. All she has to do is give me the word and he will suffer; still the word has not been given. Yet people are odd in the way of the heart. Why do some of still carry a touch for someone in our pass.

Your friend just hasn't found someone she can have "those" feelings for someone else. Perhaps talking this fella aside and tell him just how important your friend is to you and telling him you'd hate to see her hurt will be enough. But till she is over with him---well sigh! what else can you do other then be a friend to her.
