"Stand you a.." can be used this way in British English but it usually means that you will PAY for someone's meal.
There were some minor errors:
"I'll stand you a meal" = This sounds better than dinner, here. [You can use dinner and it is still correct, however].
"I'll stand you a drink" = Fine.
"What about having dinner together sometime?" = Perfect.
Hope this helps and take care!
NB: This may also be correct in American English as it is listed in Merriam-Webster as possible:

I'll TREAT you to dinner.
I'll send you a drink.
HOW about having dinner together sometime?
The word 'stand' is the wrong verb. I can not determine what you want to do with the dinner and drink.
