Borrowing money?

This topic was created in the Cancer forum by Alabaster on Monday, May 27, 2013 and has 13 replies.
My cancer guy asked to borrow a small amount of money. Is this a test? I don't know his financial situation but he has a great job and a nice car, I can't imagine that he really needs $ 50 from me. He wants to borrow it for 2 days lol. It just seems really silly.
lol!
lol!
I'm being bamboozled?
He usually pays for everything. If I bring him food he gives me the money right away. I've even tried to say "my treat" and he stuffs the money in my purse.
Can I borrow $ 50 bucks? I'll pay you back in two days tops! :p
Who said I haven't known him long? Lol. He said he'll give it back tomorrow. We'll see
I wouldn't date someone who wouldn't lend me 50 bux, that's literally nothing. the guy could have lost his ATM card or something...I dunno. ut not lending 50 bux is crazy...lol. You really don't need a thread to decide this.
I would say just lend it to him. $ 50 is not a lot - especially when he is always treating you. Why not? Now, if he is constantly asking for money and not paying you back and asking for say $ 500 or some ridiculous amount, or to use your credit, that is a different story.. Give up the $ 50 and see what happens.
It seems she does know him a while. Alabaster - how long have you known him?
He gave it back today. I was never not going to give him money, I was just a little suspicious because its such a small amount and for only 2 days. . Maybe he lost his ATM card like you said. Case closed. :p

Beat me to it. Very good.
I hope my comment was wrong/inapplicable in your case! I just get very careful when issues of money come into play. The results can turn not-good pretty quickly.

Yes, honestly, I've never been in this situation. I've never had a guy ask to borrow money period. I don't want to make snap judgements though. It may have been embarrassing for him to even ask. So long as it doesn't become a habit, I won't honk anything of it.
Funny! You should have asked him to try online loans. He only needs a couple of minutes to fill out a couple of pieces of data, and the lenders will start bidding. This means he will get the most competitive rates possible. This is much easier! smile
