...But he never has. A friend of mine has reacted with guilt trips and anger when I have approached him about a (great deal (to me anyway)) of money he owes me.
I have tried my best to be tactful and have given him what I believe to be plenty of time to sort things out. What bothers me most is that his job is far better paying than is mine. should I give up hope of ever seeing my money again?...How should I go about approaching this?

Hope you get your money back. Money is always a touchy subject amongst friends. Maybe try telling him honestly - "i lent you money on the basis that you would pay me back. I really need the money now, when is the earliest possible time you can get it to me."

Be stern. Don't take 'no' for an answer.

A real friend will make an effort to pay it back.
Either stop being his friend or stop lending him money.

^ I think someone wants to emphasize that maybe you should kick his ass.

Everyones offered good advice so far. Heres a clip from a movie called A bronx tale. The character Sonny offers good advice here. Theres some profanity in this clip. youtube.com/watch?v=NlTv6spE4J0

Orangina: "He's not a friend, actually. "
- Good point.
HB: "Not being his friend anymore doesn't get you the money back."
- Good point.
- If he's your good friend he will try to pay you back eventually, has he attempted to give you an explanation of any kind? Why did you need to loan him money in the first place if his job is much better paying?

give up hope. Never lend out money you can't afford to give away. If they pay you back consider it a bonus.

Show up with a bat J/K I agree with CruelAngel, my dad always taught me the samething, never lend out money you can't afford to and if you do don't expect to see it paid back and if they do that's good if they don't oh well at least you weren't expecting it paid back anyhow.

You didn't get it back, consider it a gift.
And now you have learned a life lesson.
