working on your ex girlfriends car? resonable?

So I recently got a phone call from my ex asking me if I would help her install Hid's and put a new Stereo in her car.

I have a girlfriend currently but I wanted to be nice so I told her yes. I'm kinda debating on what I shoulda said now, But my question is do you think it's alright to help your ex girlfriend with her car problems/advise?

Depends on how the break up was IMO.

I'm helping out an ex on hers next week, but the break up was mutual and we are pretty close friends now.

You're the guy in the Jim Nantz commercial, right? The one who had his spine surgically removed by his [ex] girlfriend?

"How about lavender?"

Go find your male friends and ask for an intervention.

If your current girlfriend is OK with it and you know that you are passed all previous feelings for your ex, and of course if you want to do it, then I would say go for it. BUT... if your girlfriend wouldn't be OK with it then I wouldn't dare. Whats more important. Helping your ex (who is your ex for a reason), or keeping the current girl happy? That's what you have to ask yourself..

Depends on your feelings, can you do this without emotional involvement? Yes then go ahead, No then don’t. Regards
