no offense dave, if she really needed the money, why lie? its not about the money, is it? its about integrity and honesty.
dont mean to be nasty, of course her friend would say she genuinely likes you. shes her mate after all! im not saying she does not like you full stop, but its obviously not enough as she can lie to you, eg about money and civil status.
if i am in your shoes i wont even bother. dont be upset, i am looking from outside and what i see inside is a recipe for disaster. emotional. physilogical. financial. psychological.
move on mate. there are loads of other women who deserves you, i dont think its anna.
