Hitman187Was it made clear from the beginning that the money is a loan? Maybe hes under the impression you were just helping him out in a time of need, iunno. But when I lend money I wanna know how and when I will be paid back. that way its fully known the money is a loan, and if I dont atleast hear from him by that date we agreed upon I know somethings up and to confront him. Id be pissed to. Alot of people are saying $250 isnt worth loosing a friend but was he really that good ofa friend to begin with if hes ducking you for it.

Ace VenturaHaha Stew-roids! One of the best episodes. :~)
Obviously this is bothering you, so I would simply call him and ask if your friend is going to give the money back or not, then move on from there. Leaving it hanging is only going to make it fester.
StevebJust ask for it back, you do not have to give a reason it's your money.
Invite him and someone else to have dinner in a expensive restaurant and leave before paying the bill. Maybe you will not receive your money back, but you will laugh!
After 2 months if he hasn't paid you its a shame you've been put in a position where you feel you have to ask. Either he doesn't have it or doesn't care about your friendship. Personally, I'd forget about it and move on.
Honestly, the easiest way is to forget about it. Even if it's $50 or $500.
As a friend, you helped your pal out. You did him a favor.
Real friends don't hold that over other's heads.
One day, a year or ten years from now. Your boy will repay the favor.
Someway some how. If in fact, he is a real friend.
Don't look for your money back it will tear you apart.
Unless of course, you happen to be in the personal banking business.
The truth ,
Hey bro im gonna need that coin , I got shit of my own going on and im going to need you to , flip that back to me .
Bro its a good friend , be honest

lmfao
I hate you for that.
Ace VenturaWhy? That's how I do it. Are you just disturbed because you've never seen Jamie Madrox and Monoxide Child without makeup?
Dude, just be straight up and direct. Sit him down and ask him eloquently. There's no point of beating around the bushes for something that belongs to you. I would be pissed off if I were you, but it's not worth a hassle getting in a fight with your friend. You might need him one day.
Just take the dog (I'm assuming it's a dog he took to the vet) and tell him he can buy the dog back for 250 bucks and every week you keep the dog it's another 20 bucks tacked on to the bill.
The way I do it is like other have somewhat touched on below. I believe in the 1 strike policy, I'll give this person the money or whatever it is of intrest to them and except the fact I just might not ever see this "loan" back. I never hold it against them unless they totally avoid me afterwards ( that's shows lack of character)if we're still kicking it and you show your face chances are I probably will never mention anything (depending on the amount owed) but if they never repay or even make an attempt to then guess what? Next time they ask for something even a stick of gum the answer is NO! Simply because if you allow it to happen it will continue to happen.
Gonna see if you have that money bro, hit me up
Personally if I loan money, I think of it as a gift. I dont want to hound anybody over loaned cash. If it comes back to me, awesome.
Catch the guy when you know they've got cash, then gentle a reminder.
X2
...That being said, If it doesn't come back in some form or another (cash prefered) a second loan to the same individual will be highly unlikely.
Why do you want your money?
Do you need it or are you just worried you'll never get it back?
Without looking like an impatient prick ask him, "John, I need $300 can you help me out? Whatever you can do would be great." If he comes through with the full $300, great, you've got a good friend and you're a bean-counting prick. At the end of the month approach him and say, "John, here's $50 of the $300 I borrowed. Do you remember that $250 you borrowed for the vet bill last year? Do you still need me to front you with that or are we good?"
These are the scenarios in which ppl let you know who they are and the value the place on friendship... you're friendship is worth $250 to him... you got off fairly cheap for invaluable info... move on
AnonDepends how good the friendship is... Sometimes ppl intend to pay back and then life happens
But if the guy never intended on paying back the money you can usually read that and if that be the case
It only took 250 to get rid of a fake friend like you said you got off cheap
Do it like this.... Lol jk
AnonJust say hey bud... I let you borrow $250 two months ago and now i need it back
And if he disnt have it all work out some kinda of payment half this week and hald next check
Take his flat screen lol id want something
But dont lose a bud over 250$
One in the left knee, another in the right if they don't understand...
But seriously, never lend money out that you can't afford to lose unless you're willing to enforce it. You could try just straight up asking him for it, but good friends are the worst ones to get money back from, given the whole "I thought we are bros" thing.
RustyhookerJust be direct. Good friend shouldn't be some big deal.
Never let anyone "borrow" money. If my friends or family need a loan, I always treat it like a gift. Sometimes they pay me back, sometimes they don't but I never loan what I can't afford to lose. I learned this the hard way.
Dead on!!! When you let someone borrow money make sure in your mind it is a gift!!! Chances of getting paid back is next to nothing!!! And as soon as you mention it this individual is going to be embarrassed and probably avoid you from now on. Though I suspect they may already be avoiding you cause they are embarrassed they haven't paid!!! Nothing ruins friendship like borrowed money and telling a friend his girl is cheating on him!!!
He's a good friend but hasn't made any attempt to pay you back or even mention it..? That baseball bat is looking pretty sweet by now.
Dude, I'm a little short on cash. CENSORED is having a good sale on some awesome test. Could I get back that $250 I borrowed you awhile back so I can get swole?
Best thing to do is just be straightforward. It has been a couple months and I need that 250 back. Don't say why, just that now is the time.

No way around it. Be straight whenever money is involved.
Just gently remind him he owes u money and if he don't pay soon your goin to burn down his house
