In English it's simple "let's meet" or "let's meet up".
In Spanish, even after having done a research, I can't figure out which one is correct and appropriate for an invitation to a date.
nos vemos
vamos a encontrarnos
vamos a quedarnos
vamos a reunirnos
???
Which? When is used each one?
Note, my question is how to say "let's have tea together" and not "let's go out".

For me, it's clear that the verb is Quedar, and the usual sentence is
¿Quieres quedar para ... ?
Liek for example, Do you want to have a tea together? You'd say
¿Quieres quedar a tomar un té?
or
¿Quieres que quedemos para tomar un té?
Or just with quedar:
¿Quedamos para tomar un té?
The imperative "quedemos" sounds kind of "too formal", it's better to say it as above, as as suggestion.
This one works out with friends and with relationships, so it's very widely used, at least in Spain, where I live. Any friend must frequently ask you one of those sentences.
It is also what you say after being introduced to a girl (or boy) you love. When you've already talked for a while. You'd use those sentences to invite her (or him) to have some drinks, or to go somewhere, or whatever.
In sum, it's definitely the one you're looking for.

"¿Quieres?" is a good way for saying "Do you fancy?" or "Would you like". As I said, "Let's meet" would be "quedemos", but it soudns weirder than it should. And why tea? Because that's what you wrote in the question, man, haha. It's just an example.

@nylypej and, as for the second one, of course it is gramatically correct, otherwise I would not have posted it here. Why not "quedarnos"? Because "nos" contradicts that the subject is "you". It's " Quieres (tú) quedarnos (nosotros)?" Of course it doesn't fit well. The one you're looking for is "¿Quieres que quedemos a tomar un té?"

Maybe it depend on how you are meeting the other parties. I would rather use"reunámonos" than "vamos a reunirnos"
Reunámonos el viernes para tratar este tema.
I think this one doesn't imply how you are meeting (like, in person or using Skype, FaceTime or the like).
"Veámonos" could imply to meet physically, but not necessarily. The context could imply you meet online. I would not use "Encontrémonos/encontrarse" because this one could imply "to meet in person".
Encontrar
- prnl. Dicho de dos o más personas o cosas: Hallarse y concurrir juntas a un mismo lugar.
You could understand that this could be a virtual space, but the first meaning of encontrar (to find), still carries strong connotations with this word. After all, you don't say "let's find each other somewhere" as you say "let's meet each other somewhere".
The option "quedemos/quedarse" could be another good option to imply "to meet somehow".

I can't figure out which one is correct and appropriate for an invitation to a date
Maybe it depend on how you are meeting the other parties. I would rather use"reunámonos" than "vamos a reunirnos"
Reunámonos el viernes para tratar este tema.
I think this one doesn't imply how you are meeting (like, in person or using Skype, FaceTime or the like).
"Veámonos" could imply to meet physically, but not necessarily. The context could imply you meet online. I would not use "Encontrémonos/encontrarse" because this one could imply "to meet in person".
Encontrar
- prnl. Dicho de dos o más personas o cosas: Hallarse y concurrir juntas a un mismo lugar.
You could understand that this could be a virtual space, but the first meaning of encontrar (to find), still carries strong connotations with this word. After all, you don't say "let's find each other somewhere" as you say "let's meet each other somewhere".
The option "quedemos/quedarse" could be another good option to imply "to meet somehow".
