a female acquaintance suggests getting dinner, is she interested?

We're both university students who were paired together to practice language. We've met up for this purpose five times now, mostly at a cafe or at the library, but once at her apartment at her suggestion. At our latest meeting the topic turns to food, and she suggested that we try dinner at a restaurant some time.

I'm new at this, but does this show that she is interested in something beyond a language partnership or friendship?

Maybe she just wants the company.
Some companionship for the evening.
Someone to talk to.

There is more to life than being alone or a hard core sex romp.
