The CafeMom Newcomers Club
First the background. This girl and I were friends from grade school throughout high school and then some. She got married. I was in the wedding. Few years pass and she needed to borrow money. Stupid me "lends" it to her. She did pay some back but not all. Her and hubby split. (which was a good thing btw) I cant really remember why but we stopped talking. I think it had to do with me demanding my money back and she had no intention to pay me back.
Anyway she has found me on myspace and wants to be my friend. I dont really think this is someone I want to let in my life again. My profile is private so she really cant find out anything about me. So do I ignore it or be woman enough to say hey you found me but I dont want anything to do with you. Or just let her be my friend?
Thanks in advance for the help. I dont really know what to do.
I forgot to mention that is has been a really long time since we've seen or spoken to each other. Probably like at least 12+ years. I dont know if that makes a difference but thought it should be mentioned.
Ok so I sent her a message and said yes I remembered her and then said I wondered why she had messaged me. It just dawned on me that I am holding a grudge, But I think I am entitled. Thanks again to those who offered opinions.

by M0M0F03 on Dec. 4, 2008 at 2:54 PMI would ignore it this time, if she asks again, then just tell her. Or you could send her a message and say, I will except you as my friend for ___ amount of dollars :) |

by Pnukey on Dec. 4, 2008 at 2:58 PMIf you don't want to be her friend, politely ignore her. If she persists, just say that you don't want that kind of negativity in your life, and wish her well. Good luck. It's hard telling someone you don't want to be her friend, but not impossible.

by okrasin on Dec. 4, 2008 at 2:59 PMI would send her a message back stating that when you lended her the money, you expected to get all of it back. Tell her how much it hurt that she decided not to repay you and that until that debt is paid back you don't think you can be friends with her. Be honest and let her know that until the debt is repaid, it would be too hard to associate with her. Good luck |

by Susanjdv861 on Dec. 4, 2008 at 3:04 PMi dunno, but i kind of think people always deserve a second chance. i would just accept her as a friend and if you have problems with her you can always delete her from your friends list. but if you really don't want to just ignore her or send her a message telling her why. |

by KellyOh72 on Dec. 4, 2008 at 3:04 PMIf you ignore a myspace request, can they keep requesting it? Or once its done. Its done?? Ignore not block.

by crysjuls on Dec. 4, 2008 at 3:14 PMi would just message back and forth or awhile before adding her. i have learned to never hold a grudge against anyone because you never know what will happen. did you two hve good times? do those good times outweigh the bad ones? i think you should try to talk to her, maybe she wants to say sorry about everything and accept that she was wrong. i am telling you this because i too had a very close friend. i really don't know why we stopped talking to eachother. she says that i wasn't there for her, but i think i was there for her as much as i could be. when she lost her virginity, she later found out she had a STD from that guy. i was there when the doc told her. i was going through some things as well. i was molested by my moms exboyfriend and i was so depressed that i was cutting to make the pain go away. she helped me get through that and get some help. as much as i wanted to be there for her, i had my own demons that i had to battle. she got into a fight with my other bff, and i kinda took my other bff's side. i guess that's when everything went downhill. now, 4 years later, i know where she works and i want to soooooo bad to be her friend again, but i am not sure she wants to. so i think you should give her a chance. sorry it's so long! lol
