I mean come on..... if he just wants a lunchbreak he would probably go with his mates somewhere. I would be cautious unless you actually want a date with this guy. By saying yes you are seeing how it goes - but don't be too surprised if things progress to an invite to dinner.

The fact he asks you simply means he likes you at this point.....if we all could simply have a crystal ball we would know the answers you seek. But half the fun of romance is seeing if it will bloom, so just be yourself and relax....the last thing you need to put your energy into is figuring out whether or not he has romantic intentions, that will be apparant soon enough....

Personally I don't consider a lunch invite as a "romantic" date; I purely associate it with business or platonic friendship. It could be a great opportunity to get to know somebody better and who knows it might lead to more invites,with more romantic gestures.
I suggest you consider it a very "neutral" and safe way of getting to know the other person better.
If you like the guy and would like to see this as a little more then just an "innocent" and neutral lunch; well, then I suggest FLIRT with him;
Best wishes; keep us posted.
Good luck and remember always keep SMILING.

Lunch is definitely a less romantic option than dinner. However, it could also be a "safe" first date with no pressure. If he's really nervous of asking someone out then he may ask them to lunch rather than to dinner as it is more open to just being friends if it all goes horribly wrong.
Having said that it may mean he does just want to go as friends.
Whatever he meant, it means he wants to spend time with you alone and if you gain a friend, then that is great, and if it goes well he may ask you on another date with a more romantic setting.
Good Luck!! xx
