I was hit on a while ago by a friends wife. Totally took me by surprise and shocked me. I played dumb and pretended I didn't understand the line she was taking. I avoided telling my friend in case it was a momentary lapse of reason on her part. It's so long ago now it would be futile to bring it up as they are still together and seem happy. IMO It would only shame him. Besides, nothing happened, I didn't recipricate and she didn't hit on me again. (Mind you, I have made sure we haven't been alone together since. I'd only see her very very rarely anyway, like once every year or two anyhow.)
Yorick, what a bizarre society French people would make if we were all throwing blunt things at each other's heads !

Seriously, I strongly think you should have a talk with your female friend to clarify the situation. Maybe she did hit on you at some point in her life when she was feeling bad for reasons you don't know, and she dearly regrets it today. Everybody is entitled to make mistakes, even emotional mistakes, now and again. And no relationship, however strong, goes forever without doubts creeping in sometimes. I haven't lived with the same guy for 15 years without knowing that. And by avoiding her, you don't allow for this momentary mistake to heal, and you cut yourself from two friends. Believe me, talk to her.
