Appropriate? It's lunch, not a room in a sleazebag motel that rents by the hour for Allah's sake. I've had lunch with people whom I didn't even *know.* (Literally, if you're eating alone in a crowded restaurant, it's not uncommon for people to ask to join you, and start talking. With varying levels of interesting-ness.)

Yeah, come to think of it, a casual lunch doesn't sound harmful...but I have to get over the fact that she's my superior.
See above: she's a *human being.* Just like you. Who happens to work for the same entity that you do. Fortunately, because you met her. Unfortunately because it represents a very minor conflict of interest (compared to what a major conflict would be). But that's life -- nothing is ever 100% black nor white.

And stop hinting at what you feel by your choices of cars or restaurants. Hinting works ... if you're a girl. Problem is that you're a dude, so you need to just get over yourself and have lunch with her.
