Imagination can always take over ones life if they don't know how to control it. Tho in most cases I would say, like you do, she might have gotten hurt at one point that you are not aware about. And she feels "safe" with the "boyfriend" she has. Tho...nerd-like talk you could just do an electral magnetic field around her and see if she does have a boyfriend that does exist and you can't see, yet she can. Tho I don't know how you'll explain that to her. heh. She might grow out of it. Just let her be. It'll pass soon.

She's still a "child". Where you might have grown out of that stage she still hasn't. Let her be. Respect her as a friend. She'll end up letting go of the "boyfriend" fantasy when the time comes.
