What if you change your mind?

My rule is this: Accept every other invitation. Sometimes you've available. Sometimes you're busy. That is the best way in my opinion to establish a connection and create mystery/GAL at the same time. At least in the beginning this is a good way, but as time goes on you can accept more invitations.

Never invite yourself, or invite H. At least not right now.

I would have responded with this, "Sounds like fun, but I'm busy tonight. Maybe some other time."
