Personally, I don't lend money *expecting* to see it again. I lend money out, with the understanding that I'll eventually know the character of borrower. If they pay me back, they do so while not being pushed, or asked. Many simply never talk to me again or have VERY little contact, out of a feeling of guilt (or unwarranted fear). Now if they continue to converse with me, never paying it back or mentioning it, then there is a chance I will oneday ask them for something (usually small in comparison) just to see where we stand, and their reaction tells me what I care to know...
I know its not what you wanted to hear, but its my thought process when I lend money to people...
