If all you're doing is having lunch and talking only about impersonal subjects? No you're not cheating. If you're even "thinking" about cheating while you're having lunch, "that" is a form of cheating, and it leads to other more personal things. "Really" it does, I've been there, and almost lost a great relationship because of it. "Won't" happen again.

Well, it depends how well you know this person and also if your partner knows them as well. If you guys are mutual friends then, no, I don't think it is cheating. But if your partner doesn't know the other person then I do think that could be cheating. Why would you want to dine with another person (of the opposite sex) and not tell your partner, if you're not considering cheating?

If your intention is anything other than plutonic or just friends, then that is cheating.
Seeing your friends for lunch is okay. From personal experience, tell your partner. When they ask how your day was, you say you saw your friend for lunch. As long as you are both honest and open with each other, then things should be fine.
But if you want to hide this from your partner, then there is something not innocent about your motives for seeing this other person. And that is technically cheating. Unless you are in an open relationship, then you need to just be "intimate" (and that also means in conversation, not just contact) with just one person, not everyone.

I f your partner does not know then you either need to tell them or stop meeting this person. There is a big rumor mill out there and you would rather be the one telling them what is going on than the mill.Otherwise you may have a lot of explaining to do and you could lose their trust.

Well it depends like if you have like a little crush on that guy and like if you know that your boyfriend saw you eating lunch with him and you know that he would not approve of it then yeah it is but it's like cheating on like a jealousy level. But is can be considered CHEATING if you start to go out of your way to eat lunch with him and stuff like that. And if you don't tell your boyfriend then you know that you are guilty for doign something that he would not approve of. And also to avoid drama just start like drifting away from the guy so you won't loose your boyfriend over something petty.

no, but if your talking and/or having lunch with someone you want to get to know better (sexually) than yes its the first step to cheating

It would be cheating ONLY if your intentions are purely "more than platonic". If it is just for a friendly chat then no harm done there.

No because it doesn't neccessarily mean that your having lunch with another girl or boy, or at least your question doesn't state that.

If you cant/dont tell your partner about it, it was probably cheating.
