It's Just Lunch!

I cannot recommend this enough, the interview was very thorough and my matchmaker took the time to really chat and get a feel for me as a person. Very simple and straightforward process. It takes the guesswork out of potentially dating because they will pair you up with someone who wants the same things as you. The service is perfect for the modern world of dating, and I would sign up again in a heartbeat. I had more success finding someone in 3 dates than I did in 5 years of meeting people off of Match or eHarmony. Thanks to It's Just Lunch I have found my partner and equal, who I plan to spend the rest of my life with. I am so grateful and hope more people decide to give them a try. I guarantee if they can just be patient that they won’t regret it. I signed up in May and by October I’m in a committed relationship.

After reading some reviews and understanding that you need to be as descriptive as possible in order for them to find the most appropriate or desirable match, I signed up with IJL. While their fees are not nominal, it gave me the confidence that anyone signed up was more serious about finding the right person. I also didn't want any part of my profile publicly available, and discretion and privacy was taken very seriously by them. When I entered my information initially, I received a call the following business day. In the first conversation, they spent an hour understanding who I am and what my ideal vision of a person and relationship is, and got an understanding about my short and longer term relationship goals.

This is my second time, as an active member, and I did it a second time because my first experience was very professional and fun. Unfortunately, the first round did not result in a match. I just began my second active membership with the company/It’s Just Lunch and I am hoping things will turn out better and I will find a good romantic match; and if not a friend, acquaintance at the very least. At this time, the company has changed some of its initial procedures/policies and they, in my opinion, are not as specific/detailed as they were when I initially dated via the company. I am hoping this will not lead to another unsuccessful dating experience. I am disappointed that the company no longer has an office in the geographic area I live in. I have only been working with my current Matchmaker for a short period of time, but he seems competent, professional, and knowledgeable. I hope his experience and expertise will result in a successful match for me.

When my earlier IJL membership expired, I had no intentions of renewal. My past experience have be someone of a disappointment with the appearance one takes on the membership, after being oversold on expectations, thereafter you never speak to the same person; certainly not the sales person who convinces you to take on the membership. Joanne M has presented herself otherwise, was sincere and she has taken on the role of being my primary contact in a manner exactly as she had promised. She has always been sincere, is dedicated and honest, and always responds to me in a timely manner.

Marc has been an overall superstar of a matchmaker; this person has managed to pull miracle after miracle on short notice. Marc has gone above and beyond the call of a matchmaker and was borderline life coach and travel advisor on some occasions. With short notice of my travels, this man, this legend, has managed to set me up with matchES so I don’t travel blindly. This has happened enough times where this act is now referred to as the “Hand of Marc” where the miracles happen when he gets involved.

This company is the worst. They throw out so much crap that their database is filled with men that meet the qualifications you're looking... They only reach out once every 6 months at best or ignore you entirely. I asked for a refund within 3 months and they won't give me anything .. they have switch me "matchmakers" 8 times over the 2 years. Save your money... Free dating sites have more quality men than this company. Once they have your massive payment, the effort from this company is minimal.

I love that IJL is able to find the best people that fit my personality and style. Their process takes care of the pre-work and things I care about so I can focus on the date. It's also reassuring to know my date is closer to finding what they are looking for, so that we both have the best chance. Thanks IJL!

Maybe it's just a terrible first date with a potential match and the long delay in having other matches, but I am severely doubting the usefulness of a matchmaker. I get the impression that I'm just a name, age, kids/no kids preference, and location and the matchmaker doesn't know hardly anything more than that about any potential matches for me. An online dating site could provide me with potential matches using those criteria without the over a week delay. I wish I would have known that IJL is really for people who want children before signing up. As a women who doesn't want kids and wants to be with someone who is college educated, I am beginning to feel hopeless due to the dearth of potential matches who meet both of those criteria. Not sure the huge amount of money I spent on this service is worth it. Considering going back to online dating in a month if no potential matches who meet those two criteria are offered to me.

Jai has really stepped up his game with me because I lost my first person due to her leaving the company and he has been doing his best to keep me with the company and happy is all things as possible.

Marina G took the time to listen to me and find a wonderful match for me. I have had two dates so far and both were fun and interesting. I have been able to meet up with the 2nd date multiple times and we are having a wonderful time together. Would not have met him without Marina.
