I'm feeling so disappointed and out of mood! That is my first reaction if one of my friends borrowed my money and did not even bother to return them back to me. I actually went through this situastion several times during the last 3 months, and due to that reason i decided to stop going out with my friends and rather go by myself or not go out at all. What im saying may sound like greedness or stingyness but infact its not.

Borrowing money from a friend may loosen the strong relashionship between the two friends because one of them would feel that these money are like his own pleasure, and he/she is so gung-ho about spending these money on something he liked so badly, but to his bad luck his friend asks him to them. The friend on the other hand would definitly yes, because they're friends and for respect of that he would give them to him. He might be ok with that but at the same time he would feel alittle provoked and mad because hes now not able to buy what he was looking forward to.

The constant borrowing from a friend, can lead the friend into thinking that his friend is not a true one, and rather wants to take advantage of him. Hence this willl make the friend ignore or somehow prevent his other friend, or start acting differently so as to give his impression that hes not a dumb head, and does not approve of what he's doing to him.

Opinions can vary regarding this issue, and depends really on how sensitive the friend is, some friends may take this in a casual way, while others get so sensitive about it, and instead start having lots of thoughts going down their thoughts and make them feel so depressed and morose.
