To not want a stranger staying in my house

A friend and ex-colleague of DH's moved to a different city a couple of hours away a few years ago. We've stayed sporadically in touch and meet up maybe 2 or 3 times a year in either city. He usually stays overnight when he comes to ours.

Anyway, he has said he would like to visit soon, and could he bring a guest? I'm assuming he means a girlfriend, of which there have been a few in recent years and whose name I don't even know.

I'm not great at meeting new people, nor at hosting overnight stays and don't even particularly want to meet her, let alone have her staying at my house. It's not like it's a long-term girlfriend that he wants to introduce, in fact I'm not even sure why he wants her there. AIBU to think he's being a bit presumptuous and to say 'No, I'd rather you came on your own'? Or am I just socially weird?

Unless it is Rose West he's started seeing, I can't see the problem. It is for only one night after all.

Thinks of all the strange people I didn't know before who have stayed overnight, including internet weirdos and strange friends of friends who have managed not to book hotel.

Oh dear. I might be a freak judging by this thread... but least I'm a friendly freak.

You must have odd friends if you don't trust their judgement!
