[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quarterly lunches are NBD, OP! In fact, they may indicate that you're not really even close friends because friends see each other on a regular basis.  If you were seeing this person 3-4 times weekly, that might have been a concern.

Do you ever invite others on these lunches?

Here's a test: invite one or two other people to join you. Are you still enjoying lunch? Can you go back and forth between a lunch "just the two of you" and lunch in a slightly larger group?

If tension develops, maybe something's under the surface?

Another test: are you feeling some tension?

If you're feeling mixed signals, why? [/quote]

My husband was doing this - though his lunch pal was married. She strung him along with all sorts of 'in the moment' attention when she had free time.
He thought that they were good friends. She got sick for two years and when the stuff hit the fan and she needed support or friendship she never even contacted him.
No one from the family contacted him - even after she died. He was not significant to her at all apparently but he thought he was.
Men are suckers for any kind of attention. You are way over thinking this OP  - you're just some random dude that she knows a little bit sometimes and that's it. Invest your time in people that care and/or work colleagues instead. Do you have lunch with DW? What about some guy friends that you can actually see after work [/quote]
