if you REALLY need the money, ask him directly, stay calm, dont argue back, find out when you could pick it up and just keep it short and simple. but really think about wether its worth arguing over or not. it could turn into a big fight if you dont stay calm and be careful so decide weither you need it THAT bad or not.

As Mangy_Momma says, the first thing to do is to ask him directly. If that doesn't work, or if he tries to argue about it, then I suggest sending him a bill - an actual letter, in the mail, stating that he owes you $40.00 and that your breakup doesn't change that.

Pursuing it any further than that would probably not be worth the money. If he doesn't pay after that, I suggest you drop it - but feel free to tell your mutual friends that he can't be trusted with a loan.

In other words, pursue exactly the same course as any creditor: talk first (though they usually call instead of just showing up), then get collections involved, and then eventually write it off and put a black mark on your credit report.

40 bucks well spent. By owing you money, he will stay away. Let it go. Its worth the peace.

Walk up to him and ask, "Hey, I could really use that money you owe me. No, no, I don't want to argue with you." and walk off if he starts getting rude. Of course, don't be rude or have a sharp tone to your voice when you say something.
