How much longer will your business relationship last? Is the service he's providing coming to an end? Or is it ongoing?
I don't agree with not mixing business with pleasure, people meet in all kinds of ways. But it's always a good idea to approach situations like this cautiously and casually.
First order: find out his relationship status.
Then, does he know you're single? If you are, let it be known.
Without knowing anything about your particular situation it's difficult to give specific advice. I think it's best to avoid asking someone "Out" out.
Don't make the first approach a "Date" it puts too much pressure on both people, with the implications of romantic entanglement.
Rather, make it a companionship "it's just lunch" time spent together suggestion.
If you are ok with the possibility he might just want one thing, then it doesn't really matter how you go about it.
No, not all guys are like that. This one is not a gentleman scanning your body like that especially in an obvious way. At his age he knows just what he's doing.
Lunch date would probably last about fifteen minutes before he wants to head out to your place. lol.

This is exactly what I will do. (I'll let him suggest it's just lunch but I'll give him an opening maybe)
I will ask if he's single and tell him I am. Pretty sure he is and that he knows I am. But, even though I think it's forward to ask, I will directly ask him. . .

I totally agree.
It felt like a bit much, him looking me up and down pausing on my chest. I'm naive though, I thought he wanted to hug me when I left lol. He may have thought he could hug me and kiss me and everything else right then and there! I don't know. I do listen to my instincts though. Besides my fear of rejection, this is why he has to ask.
I'm ok with making a little "progress" by asking him directly if he's single and telling him I am.
I met my husband randomly (divorced but not at all due to his not being a gentleman) and he later told me he figured I'd be easy to have sex with lol. I knew we'd marry from the second I saw him. It's possible men, in general, think I'm easy but they can think what they want.
Doesn't matter who leads. Once you've thought through any possible negative ramifications. Maybe in your line of work there wouldn't be any, in which case....go for it.
