Well, I do remember some of her faults, and, from a distance, have discovered some new ones. But they were the kind of faults I could live with.

Argh. I should let it go, let it go...

I've thought about asking bluntly, but politely, if there's a snowball's chance, or if we'll remain "just" friends forever. That seems like not such a bad idea, honestly. She prefers bluntness.

If she prefers bluntness, then go for it. Either way at least you will know right form the source, and if there is a chance for more, you'll be glad you asked.
