My ex is asking for money?

Today is my ex-girlfriends birthday - ok

I wished her happy birthday as any decent person would do - Wrong. She is your EX. Unless you have kids together, there is NO reason to stay in contact. So most people would NOT wish their ex a happy birthday

I had to do it over messenger as i can't post on her wall because we are no longer friends on facebook, but she hasn't blocked me - ok

Now she is saying it is her birthday and she is considering getting a tattoo - classy !

 and that she is short on money - oh, here it comes... the sob story

She is asking me if I could lend her some - so she has no family, friends or anyone willing to lend her money ?  Really ?

 Now I know she is not lying, because she is not the lying type, and she has never done anything bad to me ever - but she is your ex? You sound still caught up with her and haven't really moved on

 I would give it to her - you need to wake up and smell the coffee.. She wants the money for a tattoo. WTF !!!!.  A tattoo - hardly a life or death situation is it? If she wanted money to pay her rent, well then, yes, I could accept you wanting to help her

but here's the thing. She won't meet me, she won't add me back on facebook, she made a second snapchat user just to add me, even though she never uses it - so basically she isn't interested in you as such, only keeps you dangling because she knows you are a soft touch when she wants a tattoo or the like.

 She is not a bad person - not bad person per se, but she is a user for sure

 but the things she is doing to avoid me, is pretty creepy - and you continue to think she isn't a bad person ?

 I got this message right after i got home from work - ok

I want to help her, if it can benefit me in any way, shape or form - you seriously need to wake up to the situation

As I still care deeply for her, and she has told me that she still thinks I am attractive, and a good person - attractive and good, and great for money on occasion, but not good enough to keep in regular contact with or date again ???

You are wasting energy and emotion on someone who isn't interested in you, someone who is happy to use you for what they can get out of you.  Is that the best you can do ?  Come on, I'm sure it isn't

Why would you give her money for a stupid tattoo? If she's broke why wouldn't she need money for necessities?

You two broke up, she wants to use theShit out of you for money she will never pay back. So if you're that stupid, then give her money, i guess?

She's telling you you are attractive and giving you compliments to con you out of the money

Your post indicates that you are still interested in your ex while making it clear that she has no interest in you at all, beyond what you can do for her. Its one thing if someone you still care about can't pay rent or buy food but a tattoo???

I see no benefit to you at all, but its your life, your choices.
