How to deal with pushy people

I always thought I was pretty assertive until I met this friend two years ago. I never invite anyone to my house and yet he has managed to come to mine a lot for a variety to reasons. He might inform me he's on his way, suggest he comes over for dinner, say he needs to drop something off. If we meet up for anything he will insist on driving me home and then just presumes he will be invited into my house. I feel like I'm beig strangled. He's a nice guy. And he does invite me over to his on the odd occasion (I never come as it's far on public transport and I don't get the time as I have a baby) but he just doesn't seem to have basic manners and doesn't wait to be invited over. I think it's incredinly rude to invite yourself to someone's house, especially for dinner.

he will invite me out but once out he just had a bossy sort of personality that I find grating.

Ive never encountered anyone like him before. His personality has turned most people away and I'm the only one who still meets up with him. A mutual friend ended contact after he invited himself for tea at hers and she has young children.

I i want to stay friends. But don't want him Coming to mine unless he's invited as I have a baby and I'm tired in the evening. I don't want him to be my best friend like he keeps saying he is. I want him to be a friend I see every now and again.

hes informed me he is coming to mines to give me my university diary back (he sent a text to say he's had a snoop through and he seemed to think that was funny) and I don't want him coming in. I'm out tonight anyway so I'm asking him to put it through the pair box.

have oh any advice on dealing with someone like this? What would you do?!

This makes me laugh when I look back at this thread. I married him last week. Haha. His pushy behaviour paid off in the end!
