my friend bailed on me and said he didnt want to be my rfiend anymore, becuase i was a "bad" friend and didnt come over when his girlfriend broke up with him. After a month he said he wants to be my friend and go shopping. so we go and shopping and he borrows money and says he'll pay me back and we went sopping a week later and he borrowed more money, what should i do? he's a really nice guy and is my best friend.

Don't lend him any more money before he pay you back. You can tell him you don't have enough money to lend him. what kind of friend is he . maybe he didn't treat you like a friend ,maybe he just wanna get even for you didn't be there when he broke up .

It doesn't sound like he's much of a friend. First he dumped you and then he takes you back and takes advantage of you. So, it seems to me that he's taking more from you than giving of himself and is using you. I wouldn't want that kind of friend in my life.

Avoid him, be busy when he wants you to go someplace with him, make excuses. Eventually he will get the hint or he might even ask you if something is wrong. If he does then tell him how he made you feel...first like a bad person and then like you were being used. If he truly is a good friend he will try to make amends. If not, you're better off without him.

Hello there woahhitslogan. Its sad to know you story with your friend. Its just that i don't think you have to let him borrow money from you after so much credit. I'm not saying that its bad as a friend if you don't lend some money to someone dear to you and you considered as friend. But i think he is being too much to the point of having you again as a friend just to have someone whom he can borrow money. Well. its just my insights and i hope you will not consider this as somewhat bad. Although it may be bad when you didn't go and comfort him, i guess you have a good reasons for that. We just hope that he has also good reasons for doing things like that and i hope also that you can patch up things and work your friendship for the better. Happy mylotting.

If you love him, please understand that he was going through a major event in his life and was probably very emotional and hormonal....if guys get hormonal. Give him another chance. Tell him up front how you feel and get it all out so you're not carrying grudges. True friends are precious and you could be the bigger person and be his friend again but only if you really love him and he's worth it.

He doesn't sound like a real friend I have to agree. It sounds like he is using you. I hate to say that. I had a brother kind of the same way. I didn't know him growing up but then I found him. He started always needing my help. He called me only when he needed something. I gave him more money then I should. I even bailed him out of jail. He sucked my family dry. He still tries to use them. It is a hard situation. I started to tell him no. I don't hear from him at all anymore. I guess since I don't have anything else to give hime he doesn't want anything to do with me. I think you should put your foot down with your friend. If he is truly a friend he will be your friend even if you don't lend him money.

Tell him if he doesn't want to be your friend, then thats fine. But don't go around smooching your money. Not right. Tell him to pay it up, then ditch his a$$.

I would advice you not to trust this person and do not lend him anymore money.If you need him as a friend,although i find no reason,make a wide and good discussion with him solving all problems that have affected your friendship.

After he's told you that he didn't want to be friends because of a minor issue, and coming back to you and borrowing money isn't much of a friend to me. I would have to tell him, he made his choices and you agree because you're not gonna be his wallet only when he wants to go shopping. It sounds as if he's using you for your money and not being a true friend. It's time to tell him you need your money back, keep your self busy when he wants to do things, and when you get your money back (thats if you do), move on and avoid him. Losing a friendship it hard, but once you see that he wasn't a true friend you'll be alot happier. Best of luck

I don't know whether he is really want to be your a friend again,but I think you can know that from his words,action,and other aspect,and I think you still don't know why he always borrowed you money which seems very strange compared with before,I think you should ask him why he borrow so much money,maybe there is something wrong with him.Sometimes we should try to care about our friends!
