Aye, that is intended to be seen from the aspect of Marten's mom, not as my own. (otherwise I'd have a lot of conversations to have with my female friends...)
Marten's mom either (a) feels that Faye is the one for Marten, and knowing what she does about relationships, knows that if this is the case, the response from Faye will be very, very telling as to whether this is possible, or (b) genuinely believes Faye & Marten (can we assume that Marten talks to his mom on enough of a basis so that she has a vague idea of their relationship...though knowing Marten, he probably wouldn't bring up the entire "I want to date her but she doesn't want to date" aspect, seeing as Mom might come storming to see him afterward) are just friends, and doesn't think her comment should state anything but the obvious.
Going further into Veronica's mind; if (a) is the case, then maybe she's trying to make Faye realize that the one she needs is really standing next to her all the time. Plus, people in Faye's position can often assume they have someone like Marten in the bag (as long as he was single). Hell, that's kinda Dora's big issue, she could never stop believing that Faye would always be a threat to them, and add in her general view of men (as scumbags), she believes that if Faye ever made a move on Marten, Marten would dump her for Faye. Which, in my very newbie opinion, despite Marten's protestations to the contrary, would definitely screw with Marten, and he might actually do it, depending on how pissy Dora has been at the time and to what extent Faye would be willing to go to get him.
Though the when Harry met Sally conversation that could spawn from this is an interesting one, and might actually be a good way to look at the Faye/Marten relationship as a whole for an alternate perspective.. (cliffs notes version for folks: the when Harry met Sally conversation is basically "can a guy and a girl just be friends successfully") Also, it takes the entire "what's the difference between a really close friend and a significant other" conversation to a whole other place...but that's another can of worms.
Though it does bring up a good point about Marten and Faye's relationship; would they be as close as they are without the romantic-y feelings they once had for each other? Without the romantic feelings, Faye may never have initially opened up as to why she has issues, which deepened their relationship and is probably the sole reason it thrives after the shooting down of Marten.
Though Faye's response to Marten's mom overall (all comments) makes me think she might believe that Marten and her didn't happen because she didn't want it to, not because maybe she wasn't right (or in her low self-esteem case, good enough) for him. Basically, what it tells me about Faye is that even though she says they're just friends...there is more then "we're just friends" in her mind. Veronica's remark took some of the garbage swept under the rug back out.
I take your Psyduck and pet it on the head.
Also, I hug it, cuz it's adooooorable.
