We met last summer and did a bunch of stuff then (museums, weekend trip, etc.), but now that we are back in college (same college) we haven’t really spent time much outside of class. This is the last week on campus and she texted me the other dau asking when im heading back home, which to me kind of seems to imply she wants to see eachother but maybe I’m reading into it.
Either way, I’d like to hang out lmao, so I was thinking I’d be like “Hey, if you’re going to be here still do you wanna get dinner at (restaurant) Wednesday?” but I’m worried that sounds too much like a date, which it’s not intended to be.
Does it sound like a date? And if it does, how do I make it sound less like one lmao

No.
Um… come up with an activity just before dinner and then when it’s done say “Hey want to get dinner.”
Also if you say “grab dinner” it won’t sound so much like a date, although could still be confusing. “Eat out” is also pretty un-date-like.
No just ask her directly
From my limited understanding of your relationship with this person, other than it being a friendship, simply ask them. If your friend does interpret it as you asking them out on a date, you’ve seemingly done plenty together to be able to speak openly to a degree with them, and with that, be honest, as to say; oh, i’m not asking you out on a date. However, i’d really like to hang out with you and grab something to eat.
When you’ve done things in the past, why is this a potential date thing vs the other activities you’ve done together? Weekend trips? Museums? Those could have been seen as date requests.
