Why not just ask? How could it hurt to say "I'm inclined to take you on, but I'm concerned that I might lose the social stimulation my previous lodgers have brought along." Let him address that.
I think you're trying to manipulate things to a certain outcome, but the fact is you can't force anyone to act in a given manner, nor can you predict how the situation will play out, should you take him on. I've always felt that if you are concerned about your interactions with someone, you should talk to them about it.
It seems to me that everyone wins in what you're offering.
