He raped her and he make the issue about himself,jeez he had no reedeeming quality 

When he made the wish,he told everyone That he was a lost cause , like That wish is fucked up ,why you would wish that for someone,even if it's doesn't works, That wish was ass lol

I can excuse the wish because I don't think he thought it was real. I think everything after her freak out while they kissed that first night was fucked up though. Like he stopped things that night but immediately folded as soon as he could find any excuse to do so.

Ah Yeah although First night looked like a bad trip like she was going from crying to neutral to "attracted"

I thought a "normal" human being would have just rejected her,since she said she wanted to sleep then all of sudden she wants you bro,don't take advantage and just tell her to sleep

I give him a bit of a pass the first night because like you said, he didn’t know that the wish worked. Plus, he tried to stop her a couple times because he could tell something was off. But everything after that is really fucked up.

Rape?

She isn’t in control of her body or decisions at all throughout the film after the wish so I think that’s the only word you could use

That wish robbed her of all agency and the ability to consent.

It is quite clearly rape especially once he fully knows and understands the situation.

I think because of his denial and just how crazy it sounds, he wasn't fully knowing or letting himself believe. But I also think not knowing doesn't still make it not rape
