Unsure of what to do/say

My husband & I met a couple and played with them a few times. They're very nice & I had fun, but I didn't feel that much of a connection. I let him know I didn't feel much chemistry & said we'd still love to be friends and go to dinner, the beach, etc. He responded saying he thought we did, but understood. My husband & him still go out once a month for beers to catch up.

Yesterday he sent a group text saying he & his wife were chatting and really want us to come over for dinner & a playdate & that he hopes I would reconsider playing again.

Not sure what to do. I like them both but I already told him I wasn't interested in playing again. Any advice?
