Can I invite a guy to watch tv with knowing he wanted to hookup with me?

[Anonymous]

I enjoy the company of a guy who’s a friend (not super close) but we watched tv last weekend and it was really fun. We kissed and before things got further I stopped him and told him I don’t casually hookup and he specified he’s not looking for a relationship right now. (We once hooked up 6 months ago when we were really drunk and both decided that it wouldn’t happen again and we don’t casually hookup, I don't know why he suddenly wants to)
We ended up watching more tv and cuddling and talking and I had a lot of fun.

This weekend I have no plans and have been thinking about asking him if he’d want to watch the show we started. But I have two concerns:
1. If he says no, wouldn’t it be super embarrassing cause I’d have gotten rejected?
2. Would he assume I’m inviting him to hookup cause I am not. I am determined about not hooking up casually and haven’t changed my mind. I just like to spend time with him.

Should I invite him with the risk of him rejecting the offer? I don’t want to feel embarrassed :(

Of course he will think you are open to or even wanting something sexual. You're like a person who crashed their car at 40mph into a brick wall, talking about how you don't want to mess up the paint job. No, I'm not saying you should get with him. Just saying.

I have already told him I’m not open to casually hooking up

[hahahmm]

Doesn't matter what you said. Actions speak louder than words.

My action was stopping him…. And we did watch tv after that for 2 more hours

[hahahmm]

From a guy's POV it doesn't matter. You allowing a situation where he is close to you implies you are potentially open to more. Women who aren't open to more don't waste time with guys like this. Unless the guy is a total wimp who she has zero fear of. You know like a stuffed teddy bear.

[hahahmm]

So... either he thinks himself as being 100% harmless like a stuffed teddy bear or he has 1 drop of the blood of his male ancestors in him that he taps into and he wouldn't feel comfortable in this situation. It's like putting a lion in a cage.

Yes... I think so, you do you though. But if you just want to hang out, then you can try a theme park and ride the biggest roller coasters. You two can get to know each other, and get a nice thrill in it too. (I love anything thrilling by the way, sitting around watching TV isn't thrilling to me tbh.)

given your history with him and you rejecting him sexually recently, i have a feeling he'll say no. just how some guys are

Once you’re cuddling and flirting you are no longer friends and it’s a situationship. Can’t be naive or oblivious here and act like a man you have something going on with doesn’t want anything more than to sit at your house and watch a movie.

Sorry, I skipped the part where you already hooked up… I mean, doesn’t that make this more obvious?

He only spends time with you because he wants to fuck. Get better friends

[shortster]

He is probably going to try something if you invite him over again.

Sure, why not.

Would he assume it’s a hookup invitation? How should I word it so he doesn’t see it as an invitation to hookup but also agrees to come? I don’t want to be rejected?
