lunch dates

Noon meal appointments

Lunch dates are midday meals shared with someone, typically combining food with social or romantic connection.

The phrase usually implies a planned meeting rather than a spontaneous lunch: I have lunch dates scheduled all week.

A lunch date can be casual—catching up with a friend—or carry romantic undertones, often seen as lower-pressure than dinner dates.
