I believe there is a grammatical rule that considers a sentence where an inanimate object stating something to be incorrect, but I cannot find it. For example, "the paper stated it was 45 degrees today" would be an incorrect sentence. But, "the doctor stated I was going to be fine" is grammatically correct. Is there such a rule? Or are both sentences correct? Please advise.

Whats a good way to phrase a question if I'm trying to discourage somebody from doing something? The context is I invited this person to an upcoming football game, but I found out that for his own good, he shouldn't come (personal reasons, not relevant)

My first thought was something along the lines of
"hey let me know if you're still coming to that game"

I know that does not sound discouraging at all, but if anybody has any input, please let me know. It cannot sound obvious that I don't want him to come. This is very important to me. Thank you

Without demanding attention, this person has a way of speaking, that draws "you" in.
The person is very, "listen to'able." (ha) That's the best I can do in relation to word I looking for.
They aren't loud or angry and may not make much eye contact.
The word is something like... "interesting," but more. It's not "approachable," cuz "your" already there.
They "naturally assume," the attention of others while engaging in simple small talk.
This person is... What? Please help!
