He doesn't regard you as a "friend."
He regards you as a method to a means. If you don't provide the means, he's mad and wonders why he puts up with you. If you do provide the means, he'll be nice to you because obviously you're useful.
Generally, aside from $5 or $20 here or there, never lend money to friends if you want them to remain so as the kind of friend who asks to borrow usually won't return it, particularly for the completely lame and shameless purpose you were describing. That has warning bells written all over it.
Time to let that friendship start to die a natural death.
But hey, its your life. Learn that lesson the hard way if you want. And that's all I've got to say about it.
