Thought we were mates
Many people are “fair-weather” friends; they’re only around when they can benefit from the friendship in some way. If they need to be there for you, then they’re nowhere to be seen. Well, this person is a great example of that. You should always be a little cautious when someone you don’t talk to pops up out of the blue demanding money.
This friend actually showed their generosity, offering to loan the person money as long as they’d pay it back. Pretty nice of them, considering these two old friends haven’t even talked in a long time. But apparently, it comes as a shock that they’d ever need to pay their friend back.
