You meet some guy at work, and a few years later, he's hitting you up for thousands of dollars? Somebody has a lot of nerve. Was there something that lead him to believe you two were best buddies?
I think the very old rule of thumb regarding lending any money to a friend or family holds true especially today!!
Never lend money to relative or family and EXPECT it to be repaid. In fact never lend anything to anyone within these parameters you cannot AFFORD to lose!! That way, you don't put those relationships at risk!
In my past I always said it was a loan but in reality in my head it really was a gift. I never counted on it being either repaid or returned.
The problem with bailing someone out like that is that they'll hit you up again for the next crisis. You'll be established in their mind as the go-to guy. I think it's safe to assume this would not be a one-time thing.

In the interest of fairness, I want to give this question some thoughtful consideration.
The thinking part and the consideration have now been concluded ... not now, not next year or any other time.
