Because he's her friend and has always been the perfect gentleman to her.
She's facing a situation where two of her friends - Sven and Dora - are both obviously unhappy and feeling isolated. She's trying to help because, to her, that is what friends do.
Skewbrow:
For a while Monday's strip made me think that Sven may be moving out of town. There's a U-haul van in the background after all. Apparently it was just traffic on the street. Hanners would know and migt have given the news to Dora by now.

Ages ago, I had a conversation with somebody working on getting a computer to solve essentially the same problem - moving a very long ladder through a confined area filled with obstacles.
You construct in 3D a representation of all the allowable positions of the ladder - two dimensions for position and a third for angle. You can then treat this as a 3d maze and solve it for the shortest path through. Assuming there is a connected path and you can do ii. If not you just have to saw the ladder in half.
Well I found it interesting. Thought I'd share.

Somehow I think this should be turned into a video game. Multiple levels + time constraints. Many variations in the rules are possible.
Akima:
Or, more completely:
- Has an affair with Faye
- Cheats on her with another woman, driving Faye away.
--- Quote from: Thrillho on 28 Jul 2015, 10:23 ---- Declares love for Faye in fairly Nice Guy fashion
- Baffled that this fails
- Dora calls him an asshole for being so insensitive to Faye when her and Angus are on the rocks, cuts him out of her life

Dora' bullshit-o-meter pinned in the red zone in the final panel.
I once walked into an Arby's in Chicago, and asked to see their vegetarian menu. What? D'you think Arby's is world-famous or something? I'd never heard of the place.
snubnose:
I have no clue what Arby's is and I dont care. Pretty used to Hollywood movies expecting me to know all kinds of things, such as how Baseball works, that doesnt bother me much anymore.
Wildroses:
I never got the impression Dora cut Sven out purely because of telling Faye loved her, that was just the final straw of a lot of incidents that individually wouldn't have made Dora decide estrangement was the way to go, but all together made estrangement seem an attractive option.
I think it speaks well for Hannelore's character that she is refusing to pick sides and staying friendly with both sides of the estrangement, and also for Dora and Sven that they are not forcing her to pick, and I really hope that in the coming strips I will not need to add a 'yet' to that sentence.
But trying to get involved with reconciling them is a terrible idea. BlueFatima spoke the reasons very eloquently on the last page. But at the same time I am not surprised Jeph is showing Hannelore trying to reconcile the Biachis as it is, alas, fully in character. Hannelore can be quite naïve socially and hates it when relationships change in her social circle. She cried when Dora and Marten broke up and cried again when Faye made it clear she would not be attempting to get her job back.
