would you make your s/o sign a promissory note?

I was speaking on my past experiences and I got this one (and only one) ex that i know if he asked to borrow that much money he truly needed it and would give it back but at the same time he would probably do without before breaking down and asking me for that much money. Now, for the rest of my boos/ex's/whatever you want to call them I'd give them a couple of dollars if I felt like because a grand not worth a lawsuit. But after hearing your story I wanna change my answer to JUST SAY YOU HAD A BUNCH OF UNEXPECTED EXPENSES COME UP AND YOU'LL BE BROKE UNTIL AFTER WHATEVER HE'S TRYING TO PAY FOR IS DUE. ~ He can't be mad at you for being broke

Yup. I'd do just that for any bf here on out. Of course at that time he was my bf. That was just summer '12. Never again. Never. I couldve wasted my own $200. Thats why youre always told, dont lend more than u can afford to lose. Just in case sh*t like that happens. That $200 didnt break me, but I learned my lesson. NEVER again

If I was dating someone for 1-2 years, and he wouldn't repay $1k without a promissory note, good riddance.

After 1-2 years, I'd be talking marriage, cohabiting, shared credit, not to mention sharing bodily fluids. $1k is worth a whole lot less than the trust I need for any of the above. If homie isn't trustworthy with $1k, he can keep it, and I'll be glad the lesson was that cheap.
