Love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person.

They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they'll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That's love, you see. It is redemptive.
