my friend owes me money and is hostile when i ask for it payed back?

I payed for her to get into a under 18's club her bus fair and some food after. it all added up to around $30 and she knows i need it back. Its been over 8 months.

my mate borrowed $10 the other night and talks to me and lets me know when shes about to pay it back and is fine with it.

But my other friend looks very hostile and make snap answers to me acknowledging it.

I only said

" oh and you owe me the $30 form last year"

and shes like

" yeah i know"

and looked away. I mean i was nice enough to allow you a good night. She knew i would want her to pay me back.

How do i handle the situation. I want to ask her when shes going to pay it back tomorrow and i don't want her to feel like she can just get angry at me over it. how shall i do this?

    Say it to her! She's taking advantage of you. Ask for it when you're on your own with her. If she gets hostile say, 'Look, I lent it to you thinking you would pay it back. It's been nearly a year and you haven't given it to me. I really need it and it's not fair for you to get angry over this. I was nice enough to lend it but I wouldn't if I had have known you'd be like this.' Don't let her get away with it! Good luck :)

    I think it says a lot about her character if she gets angry about paying you back the money she owes. You can explain to her the principles of repaying the loan, and ask her why she feels she has the right to be angry. This may be a blessing in disguise. If all it took to be rid of her was $30, then you got off easily.

    forget about your 30$ if you ask again and she just ignores like last time she did..then you will feel more bad. Learn a lesson from this never spend too much on your friends (esp on her)sometimes they may start taking advantage.

    Make her pay the bill someday for you by making any excuse ( if that will satisfy you)

    Well, she has no right to get angry at you, whose money was it? YOURS. You didn't HAVE to pay for her to get into the club, and you are entitled to your money back. She needs to know this. She knew you'd want it back when she asked for it, and you really need it. It is a lot of money, most people would have just not lent it. She is being unreasonable, and ungrateful.

    call it tuition....money that your learned a lesson from....Never lend out money....hide your money & say "sorry I don't have enough". You are not a bank.....go to your friends house & find something worth $30 & leave with it. Tell her you will give it back when she gives you your $30 back..oh, that sounds terrible...like you are stealing but guess what she is the one stealing you would not even be even. Good luck!

    You can either go out and ask her to pay for you. Or you can tell her you need something important and need the money she owes you to pay for it. Or tell her that you need the money back and that if she was your friend that she would have given it to her already, tell her your not being picky, you just want your money back. And that if you ever took her money she'd expect you to pay it back!

    Hope it all works out for you!!

    rule #1, never trust anyone with your money or give out a loan unless you do it officially with papers and such. it always ends bad.

    since youre already in the situation, just decide what more important. her friendship (which, at least from this situation, seems like its not worth much) or your money.

    if the money is more important, just tell her i want the money back soon or our friendship ends. if the friendship is more important, just go easy on the topic and expect nothing back...

    Forget it . Just don't go lending money so easily next time.

    Ironically it's often friends and family members that take the longest to pay it back.

    Just say oh could you bring in my money tomorrow becuase i really need it becuase im going shoppoing with my family friend and don['t have any nmoney at the moment or just get the money off her and just say im never going to give you money again becuase you never pay me back :)
