<prompt> Human: So I met this guy about a month ago playing pick up soccer. We see each other infrequently Ive seen him maybe 6 times total on the field and share the occasional joke but we werent friends and we never talked or hung out off the field. Not because I disliked him, but just because I didnt sense that he wanted to be friends. So I just left him alone. Last week, I got a friend request from him on Facebook and he asked for my number. I give it, thinking its soccer related, maybe he wants to add me on a team or is looking for a team. Nope, hes asking me to lend him money. Its was voicemail and honestly, as soon as I got the gist, I didnt stop to hear the rest. My first instinct is to not lend him money. I hardly know him, and Im afraid that If I do theyre will be others lining up to ask for money from the bank of yours truly. I only give money to friends and family, and have in fact without expecting any money back. But this guy doesnt even bother with being my friend first! Assistant: There is absolutely no reason you should lend him money and a dozen reasons not to.Human: I thought so, I guess what makes this difficult is the fact that we run around in the same circles. I dont know for sure but I think hes friends with a few of my friends. I resent the awkward situation hes put me in.  <response>: You shouldnt feel awkward. Hes the one who should feel awkward and embarrassed about asking someone he barely knows for money. He either has no intention of paying you back or hes already financially abused his relationships with anyone hes better friends with.
