I was thinking a text (aside from face to face talking, 90% of our communication was from texting. She doesn't like talking on the phone. Phobia)thats says something like. "I've got a few things I have to take care of this morning and was gonna grab some food later. Would you like to go with me for a quick lunch?"

 My girlfriends and I have recieved texts like this from exes..let me share with you random thoughts that I have said or heard...
"What does he want? Does he want to see me again?"
"Why the 'squeeze me in' to his busy day approach?"
"Why bother?"
If the relationship was based on poor communication (texting) and you broke up...examine your motives.
They call it a break up because it is broken. What did you want to fix?

What is your motive here? are you trying to get her back?
Be a man Just call her. All girls prefer talking on the phone. If she doesn't, that just means she's too busy for you or not that into you.

I do want her back but i was not intending on saying anything about that during this lunch. Just something light and casual to test the waters i guess.
"Has it been a while since you've seen her face to face?"
No, but we work together. Its been weeks since we've "seen each other" in terms of anything about us. Does that make sense? lol
"No offense, I don't like it. That line sounds like you're really busy today, and trying to squeeze me in for a rushed lunch. Personally, I would decline because it seems like your plate is too full for the day and I wouldn't want to slow you down."
None taken, and now that you say that i completely see what you mean. Good call. Yours sounded much better.

Maybe more along the along the lines of..."Would you be interested in having a lunch with me today? It would be nice to see you since all we do is text (insert this only if you haven't seen her in a while)."
