It is shocking that this woman keeps asking him about lunch. She seems more than delusional, especially since in the beginning of the post she mentioned that their relationship might turn into romance. He's given her no indication that he's interested, so why would she think that? Going to lunch sometimes with your coworker does not denote a romantic trajectory. She needs to understand his boundaries.

This little girl has some guts! It's not tact that she lacks, the protagonist is the one who needs to grow up and learn some tact. Instead of asking your coworker if he wants to get lunch with you while his daughter and father are visiting, assume he will get lunch with them. If you do make the silly mistake of asking and he declines, take the hint. Don't ask if he's sure. What did she expect him to say? “Oh, actually I wasn't sure and am going to ditch my daughter and father to have lunch with you.” Come on.

Woman humiliated at work when coworker’s 15-year-old daughter tells her to stop hitting on her father, she accuses coworker of being a bad father: “Teach your daughter some tact”
Girl dads are a special kind of dad. They have that touch of feminine from having raised girls, and even as masculine as they want or try to be, there's a soft spot in them for their little girls. They may be more gentle, more empathetic, and they may be more open to communication. They know that they have to exhibit these qualities to be close to their daughters, without that openness a young girl may not grow up close to her dad. Especially for single fathers, it's even more special that they can bond with their children without the role model of a mother figure.
In the story below, the protagonist is a woman who has been sending signals of romance to her coworker for some time now. She hasn't received any real indication that he's interested, but she seems a little delusional and off. He has his 15-year-old daughter come to visit him at work with her grandpa, and the protagonist still comes into his office to ask him if he wants to have lunch with her. He declines, seeing as his family is there for the day. Instead of taking the no, she pressures him by asking again if he's sure. He declines, and she has the nerve to say "are you sure you're sure?" I don't know about you but at this point I would never want to speak to this woman again.
