I think HalX is right - if you let them keep going, you risk going down the "friend" road. But the 1/1000 chance of getting a best friend who is also a perfect romantic match is still there, and you probably don't want to ignore it. When I find myself in this situation, I always let the person talk, but I wonder if that's the best thing to do. Maybe tactfullly changing the subject would be better? Is that even possible? You don't want to seem unsympathetic.
