Should I suggest he stays?

I'm going out with a friend tomorrow. We're not especially close, part of a wider friendship group usually, but have both found ourselves single when everyone else is couples. So, we've ended up just the two of us, convenient people to spend a Saturday night with while everyone else does family/couple stuff.

He and I both like a few drinks on a night out usually, but he'll be driving tomorrow. He lives about 30 min drive from me, there's no alternative way for him to get home. We're going somewhere a short cab ride from my house.

I have a spare room, if he was a female friend I'd definitely suggest they stayed.

Too much possibility wrong ends of sticks would be grasped? Friends jumping to conclusions? What about my young adult DC who also live in the house (and often have people staying in similar circumsrances)?

I wouldn't, although I can't exactly say why. It just feels a bit uncomfortable.

'If you want to have a few drinks, you are more than welcome to my spare room', really can't see what is wrong with offering. He may say no, but I still wouldn't be offended.

Yes, I think that's how I feel about it

Send the message but make it clear its a spare room only offer.

I have male friends staying over with my 18 yr old son in the house. It’s good for them to see men and women can actually be friends
