Is this considered a date even though he's told me in the past that he doesn't like me? also since its just lunch should I dress nice? He hasnt told me where we're going yet. Thanks in advance for the help!!!Oh and also this will be the first time I've done something alone with a guy I like. Thats why I'm so nervous. Reply to this Question

I offered to pay for myself and he didnt offer to pay so im glad I had money. And I just ended up wearing a sweatshirt, but I wore makeup I straightened my hair. It went okay and we might hang out this weekend!

 I agree with Auntie Celtic Tiger.
DRESS casually and do not PRESUME that it is a "DATE DATE". Maybe he wants to pick your brain or just get to know you a little.
Be prepared to pay for YOUR meal and make sure you have some cash for tips. ( Let's say he pays for the meal, then offer & leave cash for tip - If he doesn't offer to pay, pay for yourself and leave a tip.)
It will be fine :)

 He needs to talk to you. The mystery will unfold at lunch. Be prepared for anything. Lunch is a non intimate date. Think of it as business. Dress as if for an interview. Yes, be prepared to pay. 17 and 19 is ticklish int the U.S.

 Don't go to lunch assuming this is a date. You will only end up feeling embarrassed and foolish if it was just a friends lunch.
So my advice - dress casual as you would to go out with your female friends. No over the top make up or exposing tops.
Do not expect him to pay, and see what happens.

 Lunch is nothing fancy and if he has told you in the past he doesn't like you then do not go all out.
I would wear something you feel comfortable in and that flatters you. Something you wear often and maybe is your go-to outfit for when you want to feel confident. A cute scarf, comfortable shoes and minimal natural makeup, if any at all.
Bring enough cash to pay for your share of a meal just in case!
Relax, have fun, he's supposed to be trying to impress you, not vice versa! AFter all, he has to make up for that past comment that he doesn't like you. What kind of mature 19 year old even says that? Doh!

Lunch dates are good and common, but don't jump to conclusions just in case.
Relax and go with the flow, but stay in public and don't let him rush things.
