How should I phrase the question, to let him know he can say no?

Question - (20 March 2012) 3 Answers - (Newest, 21 March 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have this friend who offered up his house for me to stay at when I drive through to visit my sister. We aren't that great of friends but only because we live pretty far away. We get on incredibly well and I had a tiny crush on him/we'd flirt a lot (that really isnt very relevant, though). I know he doesnt expect anything, neither do I. We're both still in college and broke, so it would so great if I didnt have to spend money on a hotel.

Im just wondering if it would be rude to ask him to crash on his couch? I cant really tell if he was just being polite, since we havent really talked in a while. And if I do ask him if its ok to stay a night, how should I phrase it so that it seems like he has the option of saying no?

person12345 agony auntGo for it! Take a deep breath, be confident. He wouldn't have offered his house if he didn't mean it. Would you ever offer your couch to someone you disliked unless there were extenuating circumstances? Probably not. I'm sure he just enjoys your company and wants to be a good friend.
