I agree with Penny. I don't like the "what if" factor in past relationships. I am the queen of letting opportunities pass me by and sometimes I just want to yell at myself for not telling someone how I feel.
I let that happen tonight. A guy that I used to date on and off for 3 years called last night saying that he was in town. (He currently lives in RI). First of all, its been almost a year since I saw him last and about 6 months since I talked to him on the phone so its not like it was a normal thing to get a phone call from him. He came over tonight (go figure I'd been sick all day so I was really feeling like crap) and hung out for an hour or so. There were so many chances to ask him questions that I just needed answered but I didn't have the courage to do it. The last time I did that, he broke my heart. So it was just something I didn't want to experience again.
If your friend has hard-core feelings for this guy, I'd say that she keeps in contact with him and see what happens. I know with "B", that I could genuinely spend the rest of my life with him, but thats where the "what-ifs" come into play because its something that we never talk about. Its hard that we're so far away and also that I'm currently seeing someone else, but you never know what happens when two people have feelings for each other.
