 Lending a friend money is just a recipe for disaster.  You risk the chance that they have trouble paying you back and therefore losing that friend.

 Same here - don't hold by breath with repayment. I'll lend to friends. Ya know who will pay back and about 30% do. The rest you can change from the word "loan" to "donation" and forget repayment - they only get a "loan" once.
There are two types of people as regards "loans", whether they are friends or accquantances - those who pay and those who don't - there are no distinctions as regards "friendship".  
There are also folks you can throw a $100K check at and know they will honor that loan - and you can always rely on em to reciprocate if needed.
