don't get conned bro! no one asks for that amount of money from someone they haven't seen in years.. what would carl and harriet say?
In his defense (although I don't know the whole situation), as innocent as it may seem it might be uncomfortable doing simple favors for an ex. Not long after a breakup, I had an ex one time who lived in another state ask me if she could crash at my place while she was in town with her friend. She said they can sleep in the living room and won't bother me etc etc but I wasn't comfortable at all about the whole idea. I told her they could come over and hangout for a few hours during the day if they wanted to but can't sleep there. Then she started giving me the guilt trip saying how she would do this for me if I needed a place to stay since hotels are expensive. But she isn't me.. and it isn't as simple as that, a regular friend would be a different situation. I felt bad she would have to pay alot of money for hotels but I thought her staying at my place was a really bad idea. I really had no inclination to ever be physical with her or getting back together with her. Anyway, at the end she and her friend ended up not even coming to my city. It was pretty obvious (something I knew from the beginning) she only wanted to come visit to try and get back with me. Just saying.... I can understand someone might be uncomfortable giving an ex rides to and from work everyday after a fresh breakup.
Only problem, he wasn't an ex at the time and I would've been less likely to give it to him, if that was the case. Also, this was before and after, he was asking me for money and literally giving him money at some point. That was grimy what he did...
