It took me along time to tell my friend that i needed to borrow money!

hohoho... hallo... i couldn't help u with a best advice... but i want to tell u some me experience... i have friend at my school (I'm student)... he had ever borrow my money... when he want borrow, he shows me that he need more, about that money... and he promise me to paid the loan, 2 weeks later.... because he is my only best friend (i hope).... i gave him (it's twice that he had borrowed),... next... after 2 weeks... 2 month... 1 years... he never paid it... and not feel false with me... some times, i think that i have no best friend at my school...i'm a student, i need my money back... i have no brave to ask him about that, previously i ask him, but he said that he have no money to paid it. some times, i think that he lie to me, because, he can buy new handphone, can visit, and walking with her girlfriend.. and, next time, i promise that i wouldn't lend him money again. so... for "tess_quinain" i can say, when there is someone/people trust you, make it trust too, if you have no money to paid, you can say to him/her that you will pay it, and not showing inversely (you can't pay, but u wasful) " sorry about my english... regards, luigi1

hi tess_quinain, I understand how you feel because I am a person who is like that when it comes to money. As much as possible, I try hard to do every way just to avoid asking money to anyone. Even when I was in my elementary grades, I always save some of my money for future use. As a student, teachers always give us so many projects. And everytime, we will make a project, a money is needed to have the materials for it. So I learn to save money to avoid asking my parents for it. But sometimes I don't have money and cannot find work immediately that I have no choice but to borrow money. Maybe this sounds funny, but sometimes, it took me days before I can finally say what I need. I am really, really shy to ask money. And the moment my friend lend me money,I make sure that I will pay it on time or before the due date I told her I will pay her. I cannot sleep at night once I know I have debts to pay, even very meager amount of money. My parents trained us to avoid having a debt to someone even to our relatives. I think that is one reason why I am so shy.

Yeah tess, it's really embarrassed to borrow money from our friend especially it's the first time to do this. This might make our friend to think that we are tend to take advantage from he or she. But if it's really an urgent need we still have to swallow all our pride and be brave to ask for help. Like in your case, if the electricity bill is not settled in time the service might be terminated soon. Anyway, as a good friend I think there is no problem for them to lend a small amount of money to clear the immediate bill. Have a nice day

Hi tess_quinain, I rarely ask someone the lean their money even to my family. I would not say anything about it unless I really really really need it. I do not know why I feel so shy to say it. I would try to do what ever to get that money myself. That is maybe because I am afraid to own someone money. I am afraid that I could not pay it on time or when they need the money. It would be so embarrassing if they ask for their money in front of others.

I am the type of person that hates to ask people for money and I won't ask. Thats just me. But my family hates it when I never ask for money when I am struggling sometimes. I just don't want people to worry about me. But well sometimes, my family will help me out any way, even when I don't ask them for help. I just sometimes don't even want to feel obligated to have to pay people back either.

I don't like to borrow money from other people.I think it is a little embarrassing. If I am in a great trouble and lack of money, I just borrow some money from some good friends.

I once borrowed some money from my friend when I meet the problem in my life, like I lost my job and need to look for another job. my friend lend the money to me. You can borrow money from your friend and get their help, it's normal, because when they met the problem, I think you will help them too. please try it.

As far as I am concerned, I think I am just like you. It may also take me a long time to tell my friend that I really need to borrow money.I think if I have little, I will not try to borrow money from my friends. But there is none, I must borrow money from my friend.then I think I must be so shy to borrow money.

Hi,there.I didn't borrow money from my friends before.I guess if I face the same situation,I would be smilar with you.I don't like to borrow thing from others at all.But I once lend money to my friend.I didn't know if she took a long time to say it out.But whenever she tells me this ,I would certainly be happy that I can help her.I bet your friends must have the feeling as me.So next time you needn't to feel so embarrassed.

Yes, it's an embarassing thing to do..I don't like borrowing money from someone even if it from my best friend..I guess it's more about my pride than my logic... But I'm not that good as not to ask for money when I'm in a crisis situation.

In my 40s, I asked a friend to borrow several thousand dollars. I promised to pay it back with fair interest in a couple of years. I ended up paying it back, with more interest than I promised, in a few months, because it bothered me so much to borrow money from a friend. I've never borrowed money since, just because it felt so bad.

It takes alot of courage to tell a friend that you need help regarding money i felt that before and its really bothering me most of the time whenever i feel the need to borrow money to a friend.But hey thats reality i mean when the need to ask for help comes theres just nothing that you can do about it, now you just need to accept whether your friend is capable of helping you out or not . ;)

i have same experience with you. dont be shy, if she really your friend, she will be understand and might be help you to lend money. friend is place to share, to help each other. if she dont want to lend you some money, i hope it wont be affected with your relationship.

Yes, i experience the same thing. I barrow money from my friend in the states.i also find it hard how to tell her that i need money so badly because i wanted to take board exam and i had a problem with my credential i still have an old account that i need to pay. I was hesitant to tell her and afraid that she might be thinking that i'm taking advantage on our friendship. I treasure our friendship so much because i believe that she is an angel god sent me.I finally shared to her my problem and she understand and help me. She let me barrow money without any hesitation.do you have this kind of friend? who's willing to help financially?

well it is okey if you are close to each other.. that's the one thing to prove if she he is a real friend.. it is hard to say but if we need it very badly we have nothing to do but to ignore our pride. what friends are for if you dont' help each other. yes it happen to me i borrowed money not for me but for my family needs. because my salary is not enough to provide all my needs especially my family needs..have a nice day

It happened to me many times.It is not only for just one reason.If I ask for money and if the answer is "No"?Then I will look for the reasons.Ultimately,it may affect the relationship.If the friendship is strong,with out asking for money, by just giving hints,she will understand your problem and offer help.
