This is the second time I have used IJL and they have become, since I first used them in 2006, a truly professional organization with exceptional customer service. Being able to see the match before committing is helpful for the first date. Shari and Brandis are terrific to talk with and I was able to honestly share the pluses and minuses after my first date. I felt they understood what I was looking for and that my next match would be a closer fit. Chemistry is hard to describe but you know it when it’s there.

It was a great experience with Sheri. She answered all the my questions. I didn't feel rushed when asking questions. She helped me on what I needed to be prepare on the first date. She also told me to email her if I had anymore questions. I have emailed her and, she has emailed me back with feedback. What a great experience.

Overall, Sheri was very friendly and nice during the Facetime call. She did ensure that my profile had been properly updated for items that I wanted and she did remind me of how the process goes. I did appreciate her thought to take the guy's number after the date to allow me time to process (if needed).

I really enjoyed my conversation with Sheri and thought she was both professional and caring. She listened to my stories and provided some really useful perspectives/advice. Honestly speaking, my IJL experience so far has been so so, but the dating coach service was truly value-adding. Thanks so much for your time and advice, Sheri! Hope I get to speak to you again in the future!

My session with Sheri was good. I shared with her that I had second thoughts with my date and she assured me it was to early to feel that way and I should give it time. She also encouraged me to identify what makes me stand out on a date.

Extremely high pressure sales tactics (they called me many times, and for months), and considering that they don't have a branch in my city, this was morally corrupt. They dangled a so-called perfect man in front of me as bait, I took the bait, and then when I finally went on that date several weeks later, he was a total dud - had no interest in me nor in dating someone like me. The idea that he was perfect for me is fraudulent. The contract allowed for a three day cooling off period from date of purchase for "buyers remorse" but then they didn't respond to phone calls or emails that were sent by me attempting to cancel within that three day period. When I finally did reach someone on day 4, they said I was no longer eligible for a refund since I hadn't requested it in time (despite their negligence in returning my calls/emails).
Every single IJL employee who was assigned to my account was fired within the first few days of my on-boarding. It was a complete and total fiasco. The dates they supposedly chose "specifically for me" were nowhere near a match for me, nor were they even interested in dating someone who didn't live in their town. You see, they are not even allowed to tell the prospective dates you are driving a long distance to meet them. I have absolutely NOTHING good to say about this company. I was ripped off for a huge sum of money and then treated like an also-ran. DO NOT hire It's Just Lunch. It's all smoke and mirrors and a lot of talk. You'd be better off using online dating.

I have had mixed feelings about IJL. I have had a few dates that were good. I even met someone through the service and we actually dated for 3 months. I want to inform ladies out there about my last experience with IJL and how it opened my eyes to things that I assumed this organization was doing to keep their clients safe. After this date I realized I made assumptions that were not true.
So here is a story of one of my IJL date. He literally brought the trailer that he lives into our date and parked it in the parking lot. After the date, he wanted me to get into his trailer. He made me feel super uncomfortable and was not taking no for an answer. I felt very unsafe and ended up driving away. Also, during the date he gave me his business card and it said, "Audio and Visual live mixing for Christian Baptisms. $12,500." I felt that he was absolutely delusional for thinking that he could get that much for electronic music at a Christian baptism - those 2 things don't even seem to go together! The entire night's conversation was about as crazy as the info on that card. He was hard to follow because his conversation was everywhere.
At this point, this is just another bad date that I can laugh about. The part that bothers me about IJL is that I debriefed with them after the date, and let them know that this guy did not own his own limo business like IJL told me before meeting him, but that he actually drove for Uber. I asked them, if they were going to change the bio that they read to me before the date, and basically the runaround answer they gave me led to NO. I signed up for this service because I trusted them to validate these people that they are setting me up with. The only way that guy's bio will change is if he calls in and admits that he told something false on his statement. I understand that they just have to take each client's word for it in the beginning, but if they get contradicting information, then they should look into what the truth is.
Also, I was his 3rd date through IJL, and I cannot believe after 2 dates with other women that my matchmaker thought that he was a good match. I had to drive an hour to this date, which was terrible. When you drive an hour to a date, then it is not longer just a casual lunch date - It is a 2 hour commitment! I feel like I just got connected with him, because he needed a date and they just wasted my time to fulfil his date quota. I am a professional women who has a career that keeps me busy. I was hoping this service would connect me to other professionals out there. A guy who drives for Uber and lives in a trailer that is pulled by his car is not what I was expecting to meet on a IJL date.

Hi, I meet with my date coach last week and just wanted to share some nice comments. I met with Sheri on Facetime and exchanged some information about myself and my personality traits. GREAT conversation with some really good exchanges of reality.

Updated on 01/06/2019: I signed in February 2018. First date no show. Second date same guy never asked me one question about myself and did not seem interested in dating at all. Then I heard nothing for months. Tried to get my money back to no avail. Met with a lawyer and she said their contract is misleading but it would cost me more to pursue so I decided to give them another chance. Again did not hear anything for months. This last date I drove an hour and a half in the pouring rain at night only to be confronted with no reservation and no date. After about 30 minutes the manager came up and said yes the date had called and could not make. It's humiliating for this to happen to you. I'm giving up. It's not worth the upset it's causing me. Don't waste your money.
Original Review: Communication and clarity of processes has been lacking in my experience. It's been over 30 days and I just had my "interview" so that I could go on dates. It was also not clear to me that I may be matched with participants that are not paying customers. My IJL coach only contacts me when I check in to get an update. She told me she was working on a date for me, yet never got back to me until I asked her. When I received the confirmation, the location was a 2 hour drive. I went anyway, only to be stood up. No message from date or IJL. It's the weekend so can't check on what happened but so far not feeling confident this service has value.

Don't waste your time and money on the service. You can get the same quality of people and support off of any of the other dating sites. From the very beginning this has been nothing but an aggravation and disappointment. I was initially charged incorrectly, and then I was passed on to multiple people. You do not deal with the same person throughout the process. I had to set up an interview that took several weeks, all of which came off my time for my membership. The person doing the interview called me late and then I returned her call after I missed it. I was told that since I had missed my time by 3 minutes, I would have to reschedule for a later date, again which delay the process of even viewing a profile.
Then once I was finally given a profile to view, it took quite a while for the dating coordinator to get back in touch with me. Once I finally got to the stage of getting to set up a date, everything was confirmed for the time and location. I made concessions to my busy schedule to meet with this person who had supposedly been screened and verify to be legit. After arriving to the restaurant, I sat there for 30 minutes until I eventually left, he was a no-show no call. It wasn't until another 10 minutes that It's Just Lunch! contacted me. Apparently he had contacted them the day before and they had failed to relay that to me. Please take my advice, don't waste your time or money on this service.

I paid for this service in early December and, since then, I've had one date that was okay & another person who stood me up. I was told I'd receive a gift card for this missed date, but I never received the gift card. It is now mid-March and I'm extremely disappointed in the lack of interaction that I've experienced. Honestly, I'm at the point of exasperation, and am sharing with others that this expensive service is not a viable option for people who are 60+ years of age. It's unfortunate, as I'm well-connected and was quite excited about being engaged with a dating service that was ostensibly going to vet potential dates and meet my needs! I understand that there are at least 3 more dates that your organization has contracted to provide. When do you think that will happen?

I wish there is a negative star category instead of 1 Star. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. I gave them 2 years of an opportunity and they kept sending me matches that are exactly opposite to what I asked for. I thought it was a mistake for the first few dates and I kept referring back to my criteria (which applies to thousands and thousands of single women in greater Seattle area). Then they ended up blaming me for my criteria. :-) All I wanted was to settle down and have a family.

The company is poorly run and each person you talk to has a different answer. They start out with a high pressure sales pitch followed by zero communication. Do not sign up until you ask specific questions such as do they actually have people to meet? For example, if you are a man, do they actually have women that meet your criteria? The process of setting up and waiting for dates takes way too long and can get very frustrating. They told me several times that they have clients to call back so I asked if I was considered a "client". If you are a woman, do not even consider this place. They allow men days or weeks to decide whether to meet and it takes 3 to 4 weeks to set up one date. These people have the worst work ethic ever and they would never make it at a real company because they move so slow and never return phone calls. You are better off to network with your family and friends to find someone to date.

I want to share with you my experiences about two fabulous people working in Baltimore for IJL. My first contact was Sherri, the life coach. I didn’t know what to expect with this FaceTime session. She was upbeat, kind, caring, and full of knowledge that she shared with me about IJL. She explained the process of IJL and I shared some of the expectations that I had. This FaceTime session was very informative and I commend Sherri for making me feel so comfortable with the process. My next phone call came from Obed, my dating director. I believe we clicked from the start. I immediately noticed the caring gentleman that he is. Obed’s diligence gives me the feeling that he always has me in mind, working very hard to make a pleasing date for me too. Also I could not have better dating director.

My first life coach was a disaster and I was ready to cry "fraud". Then, a miracle happened, Kimberli was assigned to my case. I loved her personality and interviewing skills.

I am very comfortable getting to know him and he has met a few of my friends so far. Thanks Kimberli - you are a sweetheart.
I am rating this site pretty low because the first several months, I felt that I was not important enough for a phone call to update me, I felt the first person was very evasive, seemed to hide the truth or just in general - did not want to be bothered by me. I decided to call one more time before asking for my money back. That is when I was told I had been reassigned to another person. She was on vacation and then I was gone for a week. We finally got together, but I was totally disillusioned by then. Fortunately Kimberli made it all OK.

IJL may have a lot of press over the years but from a service perspective I cannot review them any lower. Kristina ** out of their Ft. Lauderdale location did the intro call, which took 90 minutes. Numerous questions are to be expected for this sort of offering but she did push it. Some questions were invasive and over the top for someone I had never talked to in my life. Towards the end I was told the price and expected to sign right away. What is that? Normal people don't just drop $** at the drop of a hat. When I said I'd need to give it some thought she became outrageously rude saying that if I don't sign then I'm not ready to have a relationship. That is extremely inaccurate and they do not know how to treat prospective clients. By not signing tonight I was told, having a relationship must not be important to me. It was uncalled for, insulting, inappropriate.
Additionally, it was then said that she could tell that I was not engaged throughout the conversation (even though I answered every single question that was asked over the 90-minute call). Just because someone can be shy does not mean they are not interested. I get this 51-year-old rep is pushing sales to make a buck but they do not have a clue how to read people. It was such a disappointing and disastrous experience. I'm shocked It's Just Lunch! has lasted this long and that they have clients. For their sake I hope their other representatives know how to treat people. Find an alternative partner. Stay away.

I’m confident that this review will not be taken for granted by IJL as the old saying goes “Don’t mistake kindness for weakness”. What began as an absolute disaster has transformed into a much more effective and professional experience. I won’t go into all the details as to WHY the membership went into a nose dive from Day 1.
What’s important is that the problems are currently being resolved and thanks completely to a member of the IJL management team and now my profile director, Bianka. She entered into a situation where I was lawyered up and ready to pursue legal action. Bianka came in with an open mind and willingness to resolve the disputes. She listened, clarified and delivered where the others apparently could not. From that point on... the membership agreement has moved in a better Not Bitter direction. I have her word that she will continue to bring her “A” game moving forward. I have no reason to doubt her. Thank you Bianka, for putting the client first and the ego last. All the best.

This letter is regarding the poor level of service that I've received thus far with my paid membership of $**. I've been a member since 12/9/2017. Since then, it's come to my attention that there were other membership options that were less costly and that there were payment options available other than the "upfront only" option that I was made to believe by your sales team.
The first possible date arrangement was cancelled on the 11th hour as I was notified of bad feedback on (Christine). After that I had only one date arrangement (Amy) which was held on 1/28/2018. On that date the restaurant was not informed of separate checks, which made the closing of our meeting very awkward. I've made it clear to the consultant that I would like to pursue other date opportunities and since that date I've not heard a word from my consultant. If IJL cannot perform as per client satisfaction, I will be demanding a full refund from (It's Just Lunch!) based on the lack of professional support and low level performance leading to wasted resources, time and money. In addition if the issues are not resolved immediately, I will be reviewing IJL on social media with accurate accounts of low level performance. You may also reach my attorney Noel Gage, J.D. M.D. Author of (Clients and Adversaries) at **. Sincerely DISSATISFIED.

The downside of IJL is the price; only people from a certain SES can afford $** for six months of matchmaking, thus it does not represent a full range of the population. However, on the bright side, all of the people I have dealt with at IJL have been very personable, and just yesterday I met a guy I really liked, and it was only my second date with this site!

I am beyond disappointed that I signed up and paid $** for this "matchmaking" service! My research was not deep enough. First of all, the ratio of women to men is at best 2:1. Could be 3:1. In the first 7 weeks I have had only 2 dates with what I consider sub-par men. Julie gets you signed up and makes you feel important and then the chaos begins. The office staff is always changing. There is NO communication between them and consistently calls don't get made and really no-one knows what the hell is going on. Currently the staff member that called me last week is 22 years old. What does a 22 year old know about relationships and matchmaking for people in their 40's or 50's? And, of course, there is no possibility of a refund $$. Chalk this up to a HUGE $** mistake.

I used IJL twice. Each time, it was clear that they really don't pay much attention to what you want for your $** and then $**. Among other things, I told them I really wanted someone in NYC. The first guy they matched me up with lived in Connecticut, although at least he worked in midtown Manhattan. When I complained, they claimed they didn't know where he lived. In good faith, I did try that, because at least he worked in the city, but ultimately, we became friends. I went back to IJL, and emphasized again, directly to my matchmaker, that I really wanted someone who lived in Manhattan. She sent me two profiles but would not tell me where the men lived, citing privacy concerns.
As a lawyer who does some privacy work, I appreciate privacy concerns, but to say whether or not someone lives in New York City does not actually convey any personally identifiable information. I found one of them online myself: he lived in Westchester and the Hamptons. So I chose the other one. When I met this guy, he told me that he lives in Westchester and works at home-- and in Albany, hundreds of miles away. He had absolutely no connection to New York City whatsoever. That was a non-starter for me - a total waste of the $** that a second date costs in New York -- as well as for him (and I know he complained to them about it also).
There were other instances of their clear disregard for what I wanted. I only wanted someone Jewish, someone who had been married before and had kids of his own, and someone close to my age. The first time, the first profile they sent -- and you only get two for your money -- was of someone ten years older. When I tried them the second time, the first profile they sent was of someone who was not Jewish (the matchmaker actually called right after sending it to tell me not to look at that one), and the second was of someone who had never been married. Only because I insisted that the second one not count against my quota, since it totally contradicted my express requirements, did the matchmaker give in and send two more profiles. I would not recommend this service to anyone.You spend lots of money without any remote guarantee that you will get a suitable match.

This is my first experience dating in over 25 years, and I am working with IJL because I do not believe in the computer as a mechanism for meeting a significant other. I have had one experience with a match resulting from the assistance of Aleisha, and it lasted almost 4 hours and has resulted in a second date. Newman did a great job with the setting for the date and Aleisha has been prompt and thorough in helping with my questions and concerns. I am confident that through their continued efforts I will have the opportunity to establish a relationship of significance with the hopes of more. Thank you to them for their efforts on my behalf.

The communication is limited from IJL, there was a whole month and a half where my rep didn't communicate with, yet there's a guaranteed date per month in the contract. Only been on 2 dates, personality wise the first date was good but wasn't a paying client therefore didn't have the same level of commitment to the interest finding a serious relationship in my opinion. Second date, personality was pretty negative, bitter guy, but professionally in line with what I'm looking for. Overall, for the cost to use this service given the quality of the dates, no good and lack of communication from my dating concierge. The upfront process gives the impression, they have a solid process and commitment. However, I rated it 3 stars because of the new rep I got about a week ago appears to show genuine care in my needs. Previous rep, showed many moments of frustration and insincerity.

IJL takes details on the type of person you would like to meet and matches you up with someone who matches your personality. I must admit that my Coordinator did a fantastic job.

I paid $** and the deal was to get matched with 4 professionals over 6 months and it happened. But here are my matches. The first one was single, never married or had kids and he told me right away after we met that he wanted to meet a woman without kids to start his own life, so the match was really poor. Same story happened with at least two other matches. The only match who seemed Ok on first date turned out to be on a physical relationship with a married woman, alcoholic, tattoo addict, and with gambling issues.
The breakup was so hard since I had to go through a lot to uncover his personality. I tried to convince IJL to make sure that the people they interview for match are at least truly "single" and "unattached" because we invest a lot in this company and nothing worked out. I hope someone sues this company if he/she had a similar frustrating experience. Yes we are professionals and able to pay these fees but I seriously wasted lots of time and resources with this company's very poor service and I hope to at least get my money back.

After three dates cancelled on me, IJL offered me a full refund.
Original Review: Dec. 30, 2017
When I first signed up for the service in September, I was really optimistic with the idea that I'd meet educated women who meet my criteria. I was scheduled for my first date in early October, but the woman cancelled at the last minute claiming she was too busy. I know that is code word for "I'm not interested". My matchmaker tried putting me with another woman, but she had "a car accident". Not once did my matchmaker apologize for the fiasco. After that I was set up with another matchmaker who quickly transferred me to another matchmaker who did not have any of my preferences on record and tried to wash her hands clean by setting me up with someone who did not meet any of my criteria.
How can a dating service not have any of my preferences? So I had to e-mail my preferences again so that no future mistakes would be made in the future. You call that being professional? As if online dating doesn't suck enough, the waiting on this service has made me feel worse than Raj Koothrappali on Big Bang Theory. I'm surprised I haven't started sobbing yet. I feel the matchmakers are not trying and just give up.

I enjoyed my lunch date with Mike. I found him to be interesting to talk to, have good conversation, respectful toward me, considerate, kind and quite a gentleman. He insisted on paying for the lunch, got up first to help me up from my seat, opened the door for me as well left the restaurant, and insisted on escorting me to my next destination which was the mall although several yards away. We started another conversation while walking to the mall and started to sit a bench outside the mall to finish the conversation, however Mike suggested that we find a place inside the mall to continue the discussion, since it was cold outside and I was wearing a dress and my legs exposed to the weather. I thought that was considerate of him. He offered me his phone number in case I had any further questions or thoughts to discuss. I enjoyed my experience with him and am considering calling him.

I was initially quite skeptic about this matchmaking experience. I still do think it's rather expensive for only one date per month but I see that the members are hand selected to be the best match possible based on your profile. The meeting experience at a sponsored restaurant went very smoothly. It was a very enjoyable evening and the check was discreetly presented and already divided for two which took the pressure off. In the end my date paid for the entire bill but it was a nice gesture to be presented in such a way to make it less complicated. I have signed up for another month to give it another chance to find love.

I am having so much fun on this 'quest' to meet a partner. Thanks to Kiana who is my coach/mentor/matchmaker. She has a lot of patience answering all my questions and encourages me to be 'open minded'. I'm middle-aged, back in the 'game' with a lot of reservations... but this venue makes me feel safe. Kiana delivers with humor and personal attention. She encourages me to trust the process saying; 'the more you go out and give me feedback, the better I will get to know you and find your perfect match.' I joined less than a month ago and was matched with a very nice gentleman within days. We are friends. Kiana has lined up (2) more already. I want to also mention 'Chris' on the west coast who spent (2) hours on my initial call, He and Kiana have collaborated and I had my first meet in a week! Looking forward to meeting more 'like-minded' gentlemen through IJL.
