She asked to borrow $50 Thursday and said she would pay me back Friday. I gave it to her. On Friday she said she would run an errand then see me. She ended up not coming. She did the same thing Saturday. Sunday came around and she wanted $20. I said sure with the intention of confronting her about the $50. When she came over I said all I had was $10. She cried and said how could I do that to her. I told her you still haven't paid me back the $50. Why should I give you more.

Was I right in what I did? I also ended my friendship with her.

Yeah. It's a hard decision sometimes, but essentially financing her bad money habits is a bad idea. Probably should have been more straight forward about it from the beginning, though.

No. By initially saying "yes", and by pulling the rug our from under her, you acted manipulatively and dishonestly. If you were concerned about the 50 dollars, you should have been straight about it.

But since you ended the friendship anyways it doesn't matter.

She ignored my texts and calls about the $50. If I hadn't agreed to the $20 she probably would have kept avoiding me or claiming she was busy.

And either way you didnt get the 50 back. So you accomplished nothing that couldnt have been done with directness.

Online friend sent me this in 2016.

Fuck. I am in the hole $75 . I talked to [her brother] but he can't loan me any more money. Is it possible I can borrow from you? We can email back an official agreement as to how and when I will retutn it plus what I owe already. I don't know who to talk to. My mom has no money. Only as much as you're comfortable with. I feel bad asking, I just don't know what to do.


Of course I did. And hundreds of dollars before that.

Still haven't seen a penny returned...

I knew I wasn't getting the money back. So it was time to cut my loss. At least it was only $50. It could have been worse. I rarely lend money because I feel people won't pay you back and my thoughts on it were proven right.

nah directness got him no conversation

he manipulated his way into a conversation and got the clear message "you will never see that money again or any other"

now personally? i wouldnt bother with the conversation

i would take the social clue that the person is a leech when they didnt pay me back or respond when asked, and cut them off without saying anything further

but some people--esp men wrt women--want concrete evidence that the person does not value them before they cut their losses

I know you wanted to get that $50 back, but you should've told her upfront that you didn't have $20 on you.

Edit: That's what I would've done anyway. I would've also stipulated that I'd need that loan paid back before I lent anymore money.

Borrowing money is and has been the usual test of friendship or just to see if you can trust someone or not. I would had ended up friendship with her as well. If she had only explained her situation it wouldn't had probably come to that. Avoiding you for two days, and then asking more money? Yeah fuck her.

Yea. You summed it up perfectly. Trying to be direct wasn't gonna get a response. What I did was the only way to know for sure she wasn't gonna pay me back.

Don't ever "loan" money out unless you're fine with never getting it back. If you do, think of it as a gift. If you don't want to do that then either don't loan money or prepare for dissapointment

That's the worst to me.

I feel like if I owed someone money, it would be constantly on my mind and I would be trying everything I could to get it back to them ASAP. Sounds like once she got what she wanted, she was no longer concerned about paying you back. Probably owes a ton of people a ton of money. I know plenty of people like that.

I've known a couple of girls like that, they bat their eyelashes at you when they want something, and then when they get it they vanish until they want something again. Shame it happened to you, but at least you learned the first time
