Don't say something smart like 'go hang out with Jim'. That sounds jealous. Maybe something sly like make a joke "I swear everytime I see you Jim's always on the scene haha, is he your boyfriend now?" "No? Could've fooled me

"
Jim sounds like an AFC who has been friendzoned but milking her for all she's worth thinking he is gaining her interest, wouldn't bother worrying about him.
First of all, I'm no PUA. I don't think PUA's or HB10's exist either (PUA's and HB10's being the extreme, you can get closer and closer to the limit but never reach it IMO).
I agree with this advice. Ideally, I'd want something like this to happen:
-Jim & HBalmost10 are hanging out, Jim's being clingy.
-I head over and talk to them, acting real friendly with Jim, but keeping alpha. It'd be easy to control the frame since they were having a 2-person convo and would like a third party to introduce some new topics.
-Either I leave or Jim leaves. The next step involves me and the HBA10 alone.
-The next time I'm with HBA10, I mention he's an alright guy. I jokingly ask her how long they've been dating (as trixsta mentioned). She says no. I like the "oh you could have fooled me", sarcastically, followed by the laugh that says 'hes such an AFC and I love it'.
-continue gaming. She either says they are dating (which in this case they clearly aren't), or explicitly communicates that they aren't. The coast is clear and he's seen as just an AFC friend or pet.
Also keep in mind she recently broke up with a 2 year boyfriend. She might be considering rebounding with a different type of guy, so she might be giving a different type of man (possibly even a clingy one) a shot. I've seen hot girls break up with Alpha boyfriends and start dating an ugly AFC to feel secure again. Save her!
