Guy asked me to lunch. friend zone?

[Anonymous]

This guy from work who I recently met asked me to lunch, at first I wasn't really thinking but he offered to drive me home, and pay for my lunch but I said it was alright to not go through the trouble cause he was on his way back to work. Everything was good. BUt he asked me again to lunch today and we went. He always says I don't have to come if I don't want to. He has the day off tomorrow and kinda mentioned comining by to say hi. Not sure if he will we were just joking around.

What do you think. Is lunch automatic friend zone? He thanks me for coming with him to lunch.

Are you asking if he's friend zoning you?

He's either being a complete gentleman or he does like you and he wants to take it slow because he's afraid of rejection (he is especially if he's saying "you don't have to"). But asking to see you again, paying, driving you home, wanting to see you... He likes you.

If you're asking if you should friend zone him because of 'lunch'- It's a matter of opinion but I would say no. Give him chance

I think he's trying to be casual, getting to know you and spend time with you. I wouldn't say you're zoned. But if you really like him, I would suggest flirting with him, or making some kind of move. At bare minimum something to test the waters. But no, this doesn't mean you're zoned.

I stand by my answer. I knew what you meant.

He asked you out to lunch and offered to pay. That's a date. Us guys are discouraged from dinner as a first date because it's too "try hard".

I'm giving you a -1 just for using hipster terminology as "Try hard".

Guess I deserve it... I didn't know they stole our phrase!

Are you asking if you should friend zone him or if he's friend zoning you lol. It sounds like he likes you though
