A friend of mine was friends with this girl.  she moved to another province.  they kept in touch.  one day…. she asked him for some money TO BORROW. “for school, and shit”

so he gave her 4000 bucks.  she promised to pay him back 

after a year or so he asked her when she was gonna pay him back she gave excuses.

then… she started ignoring him all together.

and then deleted him from facebook.

needless to say he is out 4 thousand dollars.

i would never give money to a friend.  even if i trusted them.

if i ever did, and they never paid me back. or took their time (ie years)  i’d probably change my opinion of them and they would lose a very good friend.
