Do you lend money to others? I don't really do that. And... it's not very comfortable to talk about money among friends. I lent 2000 to one of my friend 9 months ago. It was the first time he ever asked. He paid me back within 5 weeks. It was okay He asked me to lend him another 500 2 months ago. I was hesitated. I thought he wound't give it back this time. I didn't know way.It was just a thought. But he begged me for a week. I lent it to him. Well, it turns out that I was right. He didn't pay me back. He said he lent the money to someone else. He didn't get the money back so he couldn't give me my money back. I don't know what to do now. I really don't Can anyone help me with that? What should I do?

I do not borrow money to anyone but my own kids....and when you borrow money you probably shouldn't expect it back! So if you can't afford it...don't do it. We had a guy at work that does the same thing.....he's borrowed from almost everyone. But not me!

Good to know He borrowed a lot at the first time and pay back very soon to prove himself trustworthy. And, he won't pay it back at the 2nd time. I shouldn't lend it from the beginning. Thank you for reply.

It's really none of your business for he how to deal with that money you lent to him. He should return money to you as soon as possible. But I suggest you can find a proper opportunity to remind or hint him that he owe you some money, if he back to you, ok, still be friend, if not, pls beware of him later.
