Approving borrows and lendings

at the moment when clicking "borrow" or "lend" (or "return" for that matter), the action is performed without approval from the other user. (for instance if I'm borrowing from Mike, I don't need Mike's approval to borrow an item from his list).

EVERYBODY requested that I change this, so now I'm working on it - this is how it's going to work, please comment if you have suggestions:
in this scenario
1) I want to borrow a bicycle from Wishcow
2) the bicycle isn't in the site yet (that is a bit more complex than the scenario where the bicycle IS in the site)

This is the work flow:

* From Wishcow's page I click on the "Borrow" button and get to the new "borrow" form

* first I need to specify I need a "Bicycle".

* I can add a message ("I need your bicycle for a trip this weekend, I will return it on sunday. thanks!"). then I click "Send"

* Wishcow receives an email with my request to borrow a bicycle. he can then:
- click "reject" and add a message ("Sorry, I need the bicycle this weekend... good luck!"
- click "Accept, Bicycle is in my items:" and select an item from his list that matches the general string "bicycle" (for instance "green mountain bike"
- click "Accept and create item" which will create a new item with that title.

* after that, the item will be marked as lent to Wishcow.

as I said, this is in development and I expect to add it in a week or so.

future ideas (following suggestions from Ruthie and Ori:)

* coordinate the lending (when I go to Wishcow to pick up the bicycle)
