In one of the social network site, I finally can't hold myself down, and I rat him out because he was never responded my post, and his number is obviously turn off. There is no other way I can contact this guy who borrowed my money to buy an airplane ticket a month ago, and promise me to pay me back. This morning, I was surprised that he left a message in my social network site, and apologize to me, that he is totally broke, and ask me to give him some leniency time, so he can find a job, and gather all the money together and pay me once. After I read it, my heart kind of getting soft, and I kindly responded him back, and if he has so much difficulty, he can let me know, and I definitely give him time for that. I just hope that he can find a job soon.

Well, I understand how you feel and where you're coming from. But remember that he borrowed the money and still had lots of time to pay you back. I understand that he said he is broke and needs to get a job. He maybe sincere, or he may be lying. Either way, don't hold your breath for the money. Just don't lend it out again.

Sadly, some people would not even bother to tell you about something that they borrowed. It will take a drastic measure such as what you have done, just to let them know that you are already not taking it lightly. I think a little message like that will be enough to pacify us, that he is just having difficulty, so we have to wait for a while. That way, we get assurance that the person still acknowledges his obligation.

I hope that he can find a job soon too and pay you back. I hope he is not just telling you that and not planning to pay you.

Well, he should have done is sooner, but at least he did acknowledge you finally. I don't like it when people do that - ignore you when they know they owe you. Well, I just really hope he could find a job so he could pay you. It's nice to be able to help other people out in times of need, but, to get on your nerve like that is bad. At least he should have said earlier that he couldn't pay yet so you would have known what to do.

I hate people who borrow money from you and ignore you when you're contacting them about your money this is why I don't let anyone borrow money.

Sad that when some people need help they are eager to get a hold of someone to ask for the money. But when it comes to paying back, they have to be hunted down to even get a reason as to why they did not pay. I think that he will have a hard time paying, since you say he has not job and am sure his bills will all be backed up. So perhaps you might have to remind him again, as it does not appear that in good faith he will be rushing to pay you. I say good faith, because as soon as he realized he could not pay you back he could have messaged you. Good luck though and do hope he is able to turn things around soon.

In all honesty, he should of replied to you MUCH sooner, even before you had to rat him out. It is common courtesy to tell someone, "Hey, I can't pay you back at this point in time, can you please wait until I find a job?" I personally would of told him, yeah, that's fine, but you should of told me sooner. It's very rude to keep someone in the dark like that. It makes you feel like they are avoiding you or don't plan to pay you back ever.
