I ver been telling this friend of mine that we should get lunch sometime. He's been busy these past few weeks but finally we set up a time for Wednesday at 12:30. He didn't aske me where I wanted to eat. He just picked the restaurant and said let meet there for lunch.
Does that mean or imply that he wants to cover the tab since he picked the restaurant?
No. You've been pushing for this lunch for awhile and he sealed the deal by saying let's meet at this place. You're going Dutch. Think about it - if you had chosen the place would that mean you'd be paying for both lunches?
Doubtful. My friend suggested we meet for lunch to celebrate my birthday and she also picked the restaurant. When the check came she immediately did the math and presented me with what my share came to.

Yeah I figured that but was just curious to get others thoughts.
OP, what kind of relationship do you have with this friend? When you've shared meals previously, how did you work out who paid what? Whatever your way of doing it was before, I would do it again.
And if this is your first meal together, or first in a long time . . . well, one could make the case that whoever did the asking should do the paying. When the check comes, start taking money out to pay. If your friend starts doing the same, then you're going Dutch. If he doesn't, then you should pay for both of you.
I hope you and your friend have an enjoyable meal, regardless of who ends up paying for it.

We are both straight males meeting up for lunch.
A straight male calls himself "Kittycat 40".....hmmm.
Anyway, you each pay for yourselves. Besides you're the one who has been trying to arrange the lunch, he agreed and suggested the place.
It's not as if it's someone's birthday, why wouldn't you go dutch treat.
