How many times have you lent a friend some cash for lunch or a movie only to never see it again? One of you—if not both—forgot and now it feels a little awkward to broach the subject.
Money between friends is often awkward, especially if you aren't close. Close friends have the option of just paying a little extra around the edges and assuming it'll work out in the end. That said, not every friend is close. Chances are you don't see all of your friends every week so if you don't get paid back right away, your next chance could be several weeks away. When you've lent someone $10 for lunch it seems silly to bring it up again so long after the event, but those ten dollar bills can add up to a lot if you're always letting it slide. So how can you solve this problem? You have a couple of simple options. You can let it go and just let them have the money or you can let us remind them.
