It's Just Lunch Reviews

Andrea, my interviewer, was professional and cordial. She provided clarification and answered my questions as needed. She was an excellent facilitator and made the interview process a streamlined, pleasant and informative experience! Andrea has great interpersonal skills which add to the IJL experience. Thank you.

Obed had been wonderful, patient and thorough. He has invested time listening to me and what I seek in a match. He has responded promptly every time I have emailed. He picked up directly most of my calls, indicating he is available for me, and genuinely interested in my success! We have never met but I think we could be good friends. He has taken that level of personal interest in me and my numerous questions/concerns. I highly recommend him to serve anyone in the IJL program that wants to succeed. Thanks Obed!

Why I chose IJL... I’m new to the dating scene and I wanted to give myself the best opportunity to find that special person for me. Working with IJL has been a good experience where I have learned more about myself and what I desire in others. Thank you, Monique!

I’ve appreciated the support of It’s Just Lunch staff as I step back into the dating scene. It’s been a long time since I was out there and I dreaded the process of dating after all these years. IJL staff talked me through every step of the process and helped make it easy and fun. Thank you, IJL!

Monique is my fairy godmother and I really feel like Cinderella with her. :) Actively looking for my charming prince, she’s dedicated, considerate, kind and tender. The gentleness of her voice, the insurance in her tone, always remind me that my miracle is on the way; and I’m grateful for that. Momo you’re the best ever! Xoxo

I have been in contact with two agents, both have been friendly and seem passionate about their work. One date so far that is great. My next match hails from the same state I came from. The agents seem to really try to make good matches. I would recommend IJL!

I was very pleased with the people I talked to before the date. We discussed what I was looking for and some dating tips. However the restaurant wasn't prepared for us and gave us one bill. I did get a call after from my coordinator to go over how the date went.

I am very pleased with how helpful that Kiana has been as a dating coordinator. So far I have enjoyed getting offline and having the experts at It's Just Lunch do all the heavy lifting and making the dating game that much easier. I would definitely recommend the service.

Good date with Margaret. We had an enjoyable dinner and have a lot of common interests, including real estate, sports and politics.The IJL team is doing well, and I enjoy working with the team. I’m looking forward to the next date. Have a great Holiday.

To this point, IJL has been a very good and positive experience. I have been a member for a month, and have had two lunches with a really nice guy with whom I feel very compatible and comfortable. Monique has done an excellent job!

My face to face with Andrea was fantastic. She immediately put me at ease and our conversation felt very natural and easy. Very simple process, and at the same time, reassuring that all IJL clients are receiving the same consideration. I would definitely recommend Andrea for anyone interested in IJL.

I had a great face to face and looking forward to starting to date again. She was nice to speak to and made me feel comfortable with your process. Thank you for this opportunity to use your service and start the dating process after 15 years being single.

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.

Jas & Bianca have been great! Jas is such a crack up... love her! My date last night was gorgeous too! Whoo hoo. Thanks guys for everything and keep them coming!!! I think now you both know exactly what I'm looking for. God bless you both.

It was on time. Great conversation; helpful, creative; hope my experience with It's Just Lunch goes well. I am excited about my date. I trust you; and all your experiences and help. This my first experience with you. I am not familiar with your schedule; but you are helpful about the procedure.

Both Andrea and Aleisha have been really helpful and encouraging. They are both lovely and courteous. So far this has been a tremendous experience. I can't wait to have lunch with Lenka. She sounds delightful, is clearly gorgeous and is a psychiatrist. How interesting!

Enrolled on Oct 16, had my first date on Nov 30, the follow up coaching for that date is set for Jan 9th. The long waits are frustrating. Almost halfway through my 6-month program - I feel I've made a bad choice and have wasted a lot of money on IJL.

Thanks!

Very professional and so far good experience. Pilar is helpful. I would recommend to a friend. So far service has been very prompt in returning my calls and has found my first match. Also, very hard working and intent on finding me a serious relationship.

Natalie ** and Aliesha ** have helped with my matches. I have been following the process of filling out the email after the dates. It has taken some time but the recent match has been what I was looking for in the beginning.

I am really new to IJL but so far the staff have been helpful and responsive to phone calls and questions. They have a date set up for me tomorrow so we will see how it goes! So far the experience has been good.

IJL delivered on what it promotes. Restaurant chosen was very nice with nice vibe. Atlanta traffic hit and I was running late. I called and gave notice to hostess. She and server were top notch. I enjoyed the date very much, and it was a good match for a first date.

My date with Paulette was charming. She is a very smart and sophisticated woman. We share many things in common. I would like to go out with her in the future. We had a very easy time talking to each other. Everything felt very comfortable. Thanks.

I would definitely recommend it. I had only positive experience. Kimberly is professional, funny and kind. Made me feel that she has the best interest in my situation. I have been nervous about getting out there and having lunch dates and she always patiently listen.

Seemed to be mostly a repetition of my conversation with Lauren **. Interview wasn't very interactive - more her talking and me confirming for the most part. The technology worked well - no problems at all.

I was very happy with my first match. We have a great deal in common and I felt fortunate to be in her company. I hope to follow up with her and see where things go, so I'm making hast slowly. I'm so impressed with how professional IJL was in matching me up with someone that was very compatible with me. I'm probably going to put my membership on hold until we see where this goes.

Andrea was not only very professional, but very personable and kind. She knew everything about me by reading and getting familiar with my profile, very impressive. It was a great experience and I'm looking forward to see what IJL has in store for me!

Lovely face time meeting with Andrea yesterday. I enjoyed talking with her, and she made the interview very relaxed. We had some problems with the photo identification, but I was able to submit this today via e-mail, and I am waiting for the confirmation that she received it.

It was a really nice date. She was lovely and funny and pretty fun to hang out with. The restaurant was just okay; it had good atmosphere, but the food was okay and a bit pricey for the type of food that was served. If anything that was the main best part of the whole experience was getting to meet her and having a fun time with her.

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.

The matchmaker assigned did not listen to the qualities and character of the man I was seeking. I was provided with 2 matches that were not anything like I had described. After the third so called match that was not a good fit, I was told my membership was expired. They only want you to sign up again for $850.00. The matchmaker was in Florida, original contact in LA and I was in NY. Stay away as this is a scam.

Lisa, the dating director, does her best to make nice introduction! It does happen! And who knows from there. You really do meet people you wouldn’t normally meet, which is worthwhile. Thanks so far, keep up good work. It’s Just Lunch so far has been an experience.

IJL Nashville team and staff are very professional. So far the experience has been great. The staff has been courteous and are very detailed oriented. They have a great screening process to find a match for you and follow up to improve the next one.

I joined after frustration with other sites with less credible certifications. I was mismatched mostly with much less educated people who often misrepresented current information. So far my experience with It's Just Lunch have been superior by far to other services.

I have just started the personalized dating service with IJL about one week ago. So far so good. The staff is courteous and attentive and I have already been on a date and the candidate was a good match. I have a personalized interview tomorrow with a coach who I hope can help me with some tips. I would say the staff is very professional and diligent. This is not a cheap service but it is well managed and helpful, thus far anyway.

Special acknowledgement to Kiana for her excellent attention and quality care in establishing a good client relationship, focusing on details to get the best results. Good follow ups and asks good questions to make sure she has my preferences. Really appreciate her efforts.

Pilar has been very informative and supportive in my experience with dating through IJL. She's been able to provide a listening ear and a positive attitude as I explore the dating scene through the company. I would highly recommend her expertise to anyone that would be interested in having an adventurous experience through IJL and I look forward to enjoying something special through IJL, thank you!

I was not sure what to expect from my interview with Andrea but when we closed I was looking forward to my date on Wed. Andrea was very personable and upbeat. I have only had a few blind dates so this is a very stressful experience. I hope all goes well with It's Just Lunch!

My experience so far was good, person that works with me is very nice, polite, encouraging, is involved in the process completely, helpful with the questions, very open in terms of making you feel comfortable to ask questions, good listener, kind and returns calls or emails promptly. I definitely recommend.

Receiving excellent follow up and prompt information concerning prospective lunch dates-first lunch date turned out great- I believe well suited for both of us-easy conversation and exchanged contact information for future opportunity to expand our relationship. Look forward to meeting new lunch dates.

When I started using IJL a year ago, I spent a lot of time talking with Amy and she was and is amazing! She made the interview process painless (there was a lot of laughter going on). I was initially set up to work with Jasmin, but I was not very happy with her. (Ex. The first guy that she wanted me to meet had the same name as my late husband. She wasn't very understanding to the fact that I did not want to date him.) Now that I am working with Monique, things have been great. I especially like the way I don't have to keep checking my texts/emails all day long to see who sent me a "like" or said I was his "favorite". It seemed like any guy that I sent a message to never responded back. I really appreciate IJL's laid back dating experience! I love Amy and Monique! I still haven't found that special someone, but I'm patiently waiting!

My date was a very handsome, intelligent and relaxed man. He arrived on time, and I greeted him by saying he was just as attractive as his photo and he said he also found me very attractive, but he had not seen my photo, which was fine with me. We had a drink and something to eat, and sat and talked for several hours... The more we sat there, the more I liked him. We exchanged stories from our lives and as he revealed more of what his work is, I asked him if he knew various people who I know some quite well, and it turned out we had more than a few people in common which pleased both of us as well as many of the same interests.

Michelle was a great salesperson but I felt the ball was dropped when I was transitioned to Marie. My profile created by IJL was wrong. My first date looked nothing like his photos. So it was a rough start. Marie and I are in the same page and she has been proactive in addressing these concerns. Looking forward to my date next weekend!

I am very pleased with Kiana ** and the matchmaking experience I have had. She has been very attentive and listened to what I stated in our conversations. As a result, I have met someone that I am very excited about and feel our personalities are a very good match. I have been searching for a partner for some time, and my luck and match with IJL so far has made me very happy. Especially for my age!

Ellen was friendly, sophisticated and fun lady to be with. I think we both enjoyed each other's company. However, I wasn't attracted to her a love partner. She also had a number of positive attributes like her professional experience and participation in the cultural and sports life in Pittsburgh.

So far I have had 2 dates. So far it's been a good experience with It's Just Lunch! Obed been very good, responded to my emails and keeping me inform on my dates. He has done a great job of applying them and selecting dates in my criteria.

I enjoyed my Personal Interview with Andrea, she was very nice and wanted to get to know me as a person. Andrea answered all of my questions and she made sure, that, my profile reflected all of my likes, dislikes and deal-breakers, she was very helpful and personable.

My first experience with IJL started out q little rocky... I wasn't being connected with the types of guys I was looking to meet, and there was the threat of an expiring membership, and I felt like my feedback wasn't being heard. BUT then, I was introduced to Kim and Miyah, and that was a game changer! Finally, it almost feels like a Hallmark channel movie. The guy they introduced me to is almost perfect, and the next one seems equally promising and someone I would have never met on the street. I would highly recommend this specific team from IJL. They get it, and they listen.

Buyer Beware: I've never dealt with a company like It's Just Lunch which has over promised and under delivered as much as they have, beginning with several scheduled calls for which they failed to show up to a completely incorrect profile created for me. Any commitment promised has been missed and it's been nearly eight weeks since my contract began.

I have about a month of experience so far with IJL and am very pleased so far. I have worked with Rick **, Ann **, Dahlia ** and Kiana ** and all have been positive, supportive, upbeat and I think very sincere in their efforts in matching with that special lady. I've had several dates with my first match and am looking forward to meeting more matches. Thanks team IJL!!!

IJL has been fantastic to work with, between business and personal affairs IJL took the stress out of my life with their searching, selecting and setting up dinner date for me. All I have to do is to concentrate on my works and wait for them to let me know where and when I would go to meet my date. It has been a pleasure to work with them.

If finding "the one" was easy, then more than half of the marriages in America would not end in divorce. It's Just Lunch is trying to help me find "the one", and although it hasn't happened yet, I truly appreciate the great lengths that Aleisha and Pilar are going through to help find her. They are very responsive to my feedback and are seemingly moving heaven and earth to find my ideal match. Thank you very much for your efforts Aleisha and Pilar. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

IJL has been a great experience. IJL team has been very meticulous in choosing a date based upon my last date. They have tremendously improve each time. The interviews, the calls, and reminder are great reminders, I don't have to do much to go out for a date, just show up with a smile. IJL really makes it easy for a super busy career person like myself to meet guys (whom I will never meet on my own) with the similar interests and experiences. Thanks IJL.

Andrea from IJL called promptly at the agreed time and helped me connect properly with Skype. Everything as agreed. She kept the interview on track and moving forward, while also listening to my comments and concerns. And she is a charming young lady with a quick smile.

She was very professional and was easy to communicate with. We were able to make a quick switch from Skype to FaceTime which was really helpful. Andrea seemed experienced and pleasant. She covered my profile well and I did not have any questions unanswered when we left the call.

My experience with the personnel has been excellent! From the first person who returned my call to Kimberly and Mya. I know that Kimberly is taking very good care of me! I love the ease of this experience!! The places picked to meet my date have been perfect! From getting a profile to look at, to accepting a date, getting a reminder the day before and then followed up by a phone call the day after! I love the professionalism of this of all the personnel! I would highly recommend It’s Just Lunch. Whatever the outcome of my experience I will be forever thankful for the individual attention!

I have been signed up with IJL since January. I have been on TWO dates in 11 months and I cannot even get my Dating Director to return my call any more. I'm VERY disappointed with this service and I plan to contact the Better Business Bureau and other online sites to voice my concerns that this company does not care about the satisfaction of their clients nor do they care about fulfilling their obligations to clients for services paid. Very unhappy!!!

I placed my membership on-hold after meeting my first match with IJL. I would not have met him had it not been for the great matching abilities of my dating team, including my dating director, Lisa ** out of your FL office. Thank you for working on my behalf, and paying attention to my wishes!

So far I have had a very pleasant experience. I am hoping that this will result in a successful match. Kim has been very helpful in assisting me to keep an open mind. I enjoy speaking with her. Overall I believe she is an asset to your organization. I will be sure to recommend your company in the future.

All good so far, I appreciate the time and attention to detail your team is taking prior to matching me up with someone. The better job we do here at the beginning, the better our chances of success I feel. Safety and privacy is very important to me so I am comforted to know that the gentlemen you interview have gone through this same process.

Sheri was fabulous. I haven't been on more than 3 first dates in the last 30 years. I thought it might be a waste of time but she really make me think about what I want to get out of a date and she gave me lines I can use in certain circumstances that will be SO helpful. She is a good listener and addressed my concerns and made me aware of what to watch for and how to handle certain circumstances. Thank you Sheri! I am so grateful!

I had fun speaking with Sheri about dating. She gave me great tips on what to do and what not to do. As a result, I have more confidence in myself when meeting men. In addition, I am very excited and positive about the dating experience after our fun, informative, and enthusiastic conversation!

Sheri was a terrific emissary for the company... a good balance of using her observations to offer commentary, of listening and counseling. She left me feeling that IJL will follow through glowingly. Eager to view my three matches and have lunch.

From the moment I joined IJL, which is just recently, I have had a positive experience. There is a chain of contacts and I just completed my first dating session which was informative and clarified my questions. I look forward to going on my first date and I trust that great matches will be picked!

I wasn't sure what to expect from the interview with IJL, but the interviewer was very friendly and helpful! We started with some standard good practices for a date and then went over a bunch of questions I had given a recent experience. I left feeling a bit more confident and with a better understanding of some goals to focus on.

So far, so good. Everyone is knowledgeable and pleasant. My Skype interview was easy and very much 'to the point'. I look forward to the process as it evolves. I've been able to discuss my prior dating experiences and have gotten some good feedback.

I must admit I was nervous thinking about my interview With Sheri. It is not everyday I have an interview on Facebook and when Sheri wanted to take my picture I was worried about how my hair looked and since I don't have much hair Sheri's smile and her positive energy put me at ease. I did not know much about It's Just Lunch, by the time the interview was over I felt relaxed and A feeling that I was in good hands came over me. Sheri's Professionalism put me at ease and I am looking forward for my dating experience with IJL to begin. Oh and one last thing, I think Sheri deserves A raise for A Job well Done. Thank you Sheri.

Sherie called me promptly at our scheduled time. Sherie was very easy to talk to. She was articulate and confident and I felt comfortable sharing my concerns with her. She sent me some dating tips after the session which will be helpful.

I was nervous about the interview for some reason but Sherri quickly put me at ease. The information she asked about such as type of restaurant and type of dress was very helpful. Also I found the attachment about what men & women are looking for on a first date and the do's and don'ts on a first date that she sent was also helpful. It would have saved time if I had known ahead of time that I needed to have my passport or driver's license available.

My first contact and another woman I spoke with about first dates ("coaching session") were very nice and positive. I'm not as satisfied with my assigned dating coach, as the majority of her communication has been canned email responses, and she's not very easy to get a hold of. I'm keeping a positive outlook though as I'm less than a month into my membership.

I thought Sheri was very patient and helpful with providing an overview and "best practices" for the process. But I guess I'm not sure how much I've learned until I jump right into the process so we'll see how that goes. :)

Sheri was great. We discussed my concerns regarding first dates and subsequent second ones. Overall, she validated what I believed to be true and advised me to continue doing as I have been. Additionally, Sheri was so easy to speak with and advised me if any major issues were to arise that I should reach out to her. She was helpful and I truly look forward to this process with IJL.

I truly enjoyed my session with Sheri! She was very insightful about the dating process and gave me great suggestions. Sheri made me feel comfortable and confident to take on my first date! She also sent me tips and questions for a first date.

This is a total scam... They don't know what they are doing, and incapable of the service they talk you into. They are not quality group that any professional should ever attend. I am extremely disappointed and I hope that anyone who reads it will not even attempt to go here. I wished I had read these reviews before I signed up. I had one date so far, and OMG I don't even want to say anything about it. I am highly qualified professional and they match me with a so called engineer, who calibrates machines. He showed up all shabby, some who woke up in the morning and wore a pair of shorts and a old t-shirt.

The interview was professional, motivating, and good preparation for beginning to date through the IJL Program. The dating coach was easy to communicate with, easy to understand, and she was knowledgeable about the dating process. I look forward to working with IJL.

Sheri was extremely helpful with tips and guidelines for dating! Her advice regarding how to handle the day to day communication, the nuances of placing a membership on hold, reasonable expectations on the first couple dates, as well as an appropriate courtship time frame were all enlightening to some degree. Some were new to me, others were not.

Sherri: you are a great coach and really diminished my anxiety about that first date. I am excited about starting and very hopeful about It's Just Lunch. I am hoping for a stimulating companion with a lot of interests. Wish me luck.. It would be so much fun to find someone to hang out with.

Spent ** for a personal “dating consultant” of whom I was told would get to know me and work to find the type of person I was interested in. Additionally was told that they had “tons of men that met my criteria in the Jacksonville area.” Needless to say this is all the furthest thing from the truth. In over 1 year they have only been able to “find” one gentlemen that met my criteria, however he lives 3 hours away.

So far my experience has been great and everyone who has been working with me. They are actively looking for a match for me and I am excited to see who I will end up meeting. They have a lot of knowledge and expertise in what they do and I am trusting them to hopefully find my future guy.

Sheri has good knowledge in coaching or sharing the details about date, also open to discussing my questions and concerns. Overall it is a good experience. I also highly recommend IJL to my friends. Thank and appreciate her involvement.

So far, I have had an overall positive experience with IJL and would definitely recommend this service to a friend. I feel as if my best interests are being tended to. Melinda, my initial contact and Dating Specialist, really gave me a warm welcome and a sense of belonging to something that will help me out. Jas, my Dating Coordinator is working for me and giving me the best chances to find my Miss Right. She's there for me. Sheri, my Dating Coach, was warm and caring and wants me to succeed. I am glad to have all three help me through this journey and hope to hear a lot more from them as time goes on.

I live in the East Bay. I mentioned to It's Just Lunch, I only want dates that are living in the East Bay. All my dates were from the South Bay or the peninsula... too far from me. It's like they don't listen... I am very disappointed in the staff at "It's Just Lunch".

The date went well. The guy was very polite. We just talked but we only had a couple things in common. We never shakes hands at the end. He just said good luck with your other dates. The restaurant didn't seat us until 7. The next couple dates I hope I find things in common with men and give a handshake after the date.

I had a wonderful conversation with Andrea at the face time meeting. She reviewed all the answers that I provided on my first phone conversation with IJL. Andrea was very pleasant and professional. She answered all my questions. I am looking forward to see what happened next.

My Skype call was so wonderful, I learned so much about what to do in this new venture of my life. I couldn’t have asked for more. It was wonderful in every way. It was a very positive experience that I truly appreciated. This help I have received will make this experience smoother for me at this point of my life at my age. I sincerely appreciated all the help and advice I received... thank you.

Kiana (dating director) it's a very kind and helpful person. There are numerous online dating sites, but none come close to matching IJL's usability and matchmaking. I love that the match is made by a person. It's Just Lunch is a great corporation!

Kim has been very encouraging and forthright. So far, the process is going as was described. She is a very positive person and her clients receive that positive energy. Kim wants everyone to be happy and doesn’t force anything.

I went on my first date and I thought my dating coach did an amazing job matching us! The restaurant was fantastic and it was very well organized for us. Although sparks did not fly... I am impressed with the IJL process and attention to detail.

I've enjoyed working with Kim at It's Just Lunch. She has taken the time to get to know me and my preferences. I've gotten some good matches as a result. She is easy to get a hold of and once I let her know what my availability is, she sets me up with dates in a timely fashion--no need to wait on a potential good match.

I had a great first date that Jas set up for me. She has been wonderful and very easy to work with. Especially her matchmaking skills and follow-up. IJL has been a very good experience and I will highly recommend it to my friends. Thumbs up!!!

Everyone I have interacted with at IJL has been great to work with - friendly, approachable, respectful. The process is fun, and the ladies are careful to work with my schedule. I'm impressed with how much I have in common with my first match. At the very least, we should remain friends. I'm ready to meet my second match!

I had a good experience with my first date. It's Just Lunch coordinator Kiana was excellent and Aleisha my match coordinator was superb checking with me and given me advice. The follow up was immediately asking how did it go and how they could improve or change. I am very happy with both of my It's Just Lunch coordinator. Keep up the good work.

Andrea was very helpful and was very thorough with explaining the process to me. I was a little nervous for the interview, but she made me feel comfortable and answered any and all questions that had as far as what my next step would be.

The dating coordinator Debbie did not pay attention to anything is asked for in a match. They were all very rude & non attentive. They are all about the money. If you ask for a refund less the $** interview fee they will deny you right away with a lame excuse. IT'S A SCAM! Stay away. This $** is the worst investment I've made in my entire life!

It takes too long to meet each date and it was not funny to have dates that didn't show up! But after all, it was a good experience because IJL "filter" the dates with people that really have the same interests.

I had a great date, Aleisha did a great job of finding what I am looking for in a woman. The restaurant was great for a first date. Also it was a nice intimate setting where I could really have a good conversation with my date.

I'm new to IJL and wasn't sure what to expect. However, as soon as Andrea and I started talking all my fears melted away. I felt she loves matching strangers of common interests together and seeing a connection. If no connection, she encourages honest feedback as to what went wrong, so the next time would be better. We reviewed my profile and I opened up to a stronger realistic view of possible matches. I learned that I have a heart that is ready to love, share and grow with that special man. I can feel my man and I are in each other's hearts, whoever he is!! My overall experience was excellent with Andrea as she was professional and engaged in providing excellent service.

I was hesitant about trying this again but Kimberli has been very responsive to any of my questions and very responsive to any concerns. I feel she is very trustworthy and is giving me the "straight scoop!" I am glad to be working with her - she is the best!

Sales process is difficult but my current matchmaker has been good. Only two dates so far but slowly starting to narrow down the potential matches. It is nice how they arrange the time and location for you on the first time you meet someone new.

I have just had my first IJL date and it was very nice. The man I met was attractive and easy to talk with. The restaurant was awesome. I am working with Kim and she listened to my needs and interests. She is giving me 110%! This has been a positive experience all the way around.

My interview with Andrea was excellent. She managed the entire interview respectfully and professional and asked good questions and gave good answers. I would highly recommend It's Just Lunch to others and appreciate the course and conduct of those I have worked with.

Our first date was excellent. It was an unbelievable match. We were very compatible, the date lasted three hours or more. It was perfect! Carol was a wonderful choice and a wonderful date! Great Job! Thanks so much! May see her again!

Overall, I'm disappointed with my IJL experience. My first matchmaker took six weeks just to get me a date and he paid little to no attention to any of my matchmaking specifications. Ultimately, I had to demand that he be replaced or that IJL issue a refund. They replaced him with Aleisha **, an excellent matchmaker that actually pays attention to her clients (it's too bad she works for such an incompetent company); however, this service is overpriced and the damage has already been done. I wouldn't recommend IJL to anyone.

I was very excited to sign up for "It's Just Lunch!" They made a great sales pitch, and took my $4000. The contract said I have 7 dates. They set me up with men who did not met my criteria. I went on 6 dates, and 2 of the men were not aware that I have children (something that I requested that my dates know before we meet), 1 was obese, when I asked for fit, and 3 lived over 2 hours away!

I have had several good dates with IJL. The matchmaking specialists have tried to match based upon my preferences. In addition, I have discovered several interesting restaurants in parts of the city that are not my routine places. Looking forward to more interesting people.

Andrea was very apologetic about not being able to see her on skype! It didn't really matter to me anyway. But it was nice that she was so apologetic. She was very polite and open to questions. I did prefer it when she came "off script" (I have an antennae for those, I find it doesn't feel so sincere and relaxed or so open to the other person if someone is reciting a pre-drafted script), it then became more relaxed and genuine-feeling, especially when she mentioned her cat and mutual love of music. That felt a genuine way to relate, which I much preferred. I am only now feeling a little impatient with the formalities, and am very keen to get started! Thank you!

To start, your profile is created based on a phone conversation, and no one ever thinks to have you check it before IJL starts using it. Once I caught on to this, I asked to see mine and it was incorrect!!! Why did no one ask that I check the profile before IJL starts matching me on things that aren't true? There is also clearly a checkbox for hobbies as everyone's listed the exact same random hobbies (that did not match my own). I signed up for a one month subscription in July; it just ended in October. It takes a ridiculously long time to get average matches. Still waiting for one that matches my number one hobby. On the last two of my matches, I never received a follow up call with additional information about the match like they are supposed to do. For the amount of money this cost, I'm extremely disappointed in the ridiculousness of this process.

My IJL consultants Mike ** and Miya ** have been wonderful. They have been very helpful and have great communication with me! They always follow up promptly and they are very reassuring in a process that (let's be real here) can be kind of awkward and a bit nerve wracking! You're meeting someone you don't know, for the FIRST time. I have to say, Mike and Miya have been wonderful through this! They've listened to my feedback, and have adjusted my matches accordingly! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I've only been on 2 dates and I haven't met someone who I've continued to date yet. I have another date coming up this weekend and I'm confident that Mike and Miya will help match me with someone awesome!!

Brandis as well as the rest of the staff are highly professional, consistent, responsive, and their experience pays off. Would highly recommend to busy professionals looking to meet professionals and allow them to help you zero in on your search for the right match. There is really something as great dating ROI, I've seen it first hand, they are worth it!

Kiana has gone above and beyond in attempting to make my IJL experience a positive and beneficial one. Matchmaking seems to be more than just a job for her. This sense that my dating director actually cares about my success is very encouraging.

Pilar and Clari are good people. Pilar genuinely cares to try and help me. The matches they find could be better, but the limited selection isn't necessarily their fault. The matches are alright. They found one person that was great. The others are subpar, but again, they try their best.

So I wrote this review on the night of my first date. On Monday, I was contacted by IJL and we discussed all of my concerns. I believe that the deceit was not on the part of the IJL team but rather my "date". I'm looking forward to my next match and am confident going forward that things will be good.

I worked with Aleisha and she is great. She listens to what I would say for each date and try her best to find somebody that would match me the best. I would recommend to all my single friends. Thank you.

Just had my first date through IJL last night and it was WELL worth the wait! My matchmaker, Lisa **, is incredible! She addressed my concerns, talked me through the process and always had a positive attitude! I just had dinner with a wonderful man I never would have met if it wasn’t for Lisa ** & It’s Just Lunch! I’m very optimistic about the future!

Kimberly makes the IJL experience the very best. She is knowledgeable and personable. She knows when to encourage and to cheer you on. I can't imagine working with anyone else. She rocks! Thank you, Kim for being there for me!

I started out with a different dating director. It just wasn't a great personality fit. I was able to switch and was assigned to Kim. My experience has been night and day different with her. She is a great communicator and really listens to all of my concerns and feedback. The individuals I have been matched with are exactly what I am looking for. At this point I would definitely recommend this service to my friends and tell them to ask for Kim!

The Service and attention to detail from "It's Just Lunch" has been quite outstanding. Kimberli & Annmarie have gone to great lengths to find out what I wanted as a Client. They are so patient, and concerned, so that I get the successful relationship I am looking with It's Just Lunch.

It's been just two weeks since I dropped ** on this service, and I'm already certain I would have been better served donating this money than giving it to these gypsies who clearly have cracked the code for swindling money from their prey in search for love with false hope and promises. Here are the questions I should have asked but didn't, so hopefully those who read this will know full well before you waste your money:

My first and only date so far on IJL was interesting. We didn’t ultimately match but the conversation was great as was the atmosphere. I am looking forward to really connecting with that right someone. My contact Obed has been very helpful along the way. I look forward to working with him more as this progresses.

I got off to a rocky start with It's Just Lunch but they managed to find me someone worthy of going out with and he seems great so far. Monique has been very understanding and patient. I know it's a process and I appreciate her.

I'm new at IJL but really find this dating experience the way to go! Everyone is so professional and are really interested in my success. They listen to my needs and coach me to make sure I find what the right companion. I can hardly wait to see the final outcome.

I enjoyed working with Monique. I think she took the time to get to know me and to make thoughtful matches. She owned the process and had me in mind. This is a difficult thing to do and I liked having Monique on my team.

IJL staff is great. They are really friendly and take the time to get to know you and what your likes and dislikes are. I would definitely recommend this for people that work a lot and are apprehensive about online dating. Thanks.

I'm new to It's Just Lunch. I had my first date and everything worked very well thanks to Kim and Anne Marie. Kim did all the work setting up the date and Anne Marie called and reminded me about the date and tips. I look forward to my next date that Kim arranges for me!

The face to face meeting via FaceTime was very interesting and conducted in a very professional manner. I have great expectations with It's Just Lunch. I look forward to my first date with Katherine this coming Saturday in Philadelphia. Thank you very much.

I really like the way they handle the interviews and vetting process. It was very thorough and professional. I've only had one date with a guy who didn't seem like the best fit for me but the process has been good so far!

In as much as this was my first experience using Skype, I was quickly put at ease with Andrea. I felt the interview was fair and enjoyable for both. I had a concern about how I looked at such close range; however, we had an enjoyable conversation. Thank you for your considerations.

Great communication with Steph, love her timeliness and prompt response and matches she has made for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone else. Also great personality and interest in client. In addition, she is also very please to talk to and goes out of her way to make client comfortable and answer their questions. She really took her time to get to know her client's personal history, their interests, hobbies, goals, family background so she can truly personalize the right match for you.

Overall the experience has been a fun and enjoyable time. My dating correspondent has been easy to talk to and helpful in helping me find the qualities in which I would like to add to my search. Her responses have been timely and she has been helpful in making this an easy experience.

My face to face meeting with Andrea was very pleasant and positive. I really appreciated her professionalism and encouragement. I am happy that she confirmed my previous discussion regarding my preferences. As a result I am looking forward to experiencing this new process. Thank you!

Pleasant experience. Can't wait to see matches! Friendly team, accommodating to my changes. Heard of IJL years ago, was on sites to find a match, but those sites did not help at all. A friend said try IJL. So I have!

Awesome call with my coach today! Happy to get this process started! Cannot wait to go on dates and meet the person I am meant to be with based on my personality traits. I was very pleased to go over what a profile is and what to look for as the process unfolds!

It was great experience and pleasure for me. I was comfortable asking questions and sharing my hobbies and interests on FaceTime. I also got some valuable advice. Hope it will help me in matchmaking process. Thanks for the nice exchange of ideas.

Sheree was friendly, smart and very encouraging. I really liked talking to her, and she gave me some good advice about non-exclusive dating. I would love to talk to her on a regular basis! I felt confident going into my first dating experience with IJL, and I actually would have liked the opportunity to speak to her after the date.

My facetime call with Sheri went very well and was very professional and a positive discussion about LHL and dating. Sheri was very pleasant, encouraging and positive and provided helpful insights with the entire process and upcoming dates. Overall, talking with Sheri was a helpful and positive experience.

My matchmaking team has been professional and positive. I look forward to working with them. Given hurricane Irma we were a bit delayed in getting started, but they remained in contact with me and got right back on track! I am confident they will find men that will be a good match for me and me for them.

First date coaching chat - My team member Sheri, with patience, humor and giving me the feeling she'd done all this before, heard it all before, which I appreciated, asked me about recent date experience, how I was at communicating to my date, how I felt about a next time, made a few suggestions and left it at that. I can handle it!

Service was excellent and professional the coach provided me with detail coaching as it relates to my first date. She was also able to go over the process of It's Just Lunch so that I would be familiar with what to expect. I feel very comfortable doing a session and was able to share my thoughts and feelings with her about my potential experiences.

This was very helpful. I appreciated Sheri's openness with me and her suggestions, her ideas and her willingness to help me so that I feel comfortable on a first date. She made sure to ask if I had any additional questions and answered all of my questions.

I purchased a membership in January 2017 in the amount of $2500 for 4 dates within 6 months. My understanding from the salesperson was that the 4 dates would be a face to face at a venue set up by IJL for lunch, drinks or dinner. I did have 3 face to face dates. The 4th date did not show up at the scheduled time and venue, but called the restaurant (which she was supposed to do if she was not going to come to the venue set up by IJL) and asked to talk to me. I talked to her and she indicated IJL would not tell her where I lived (KC area) and although she had accepted the date she decided that she did not want to drive the ~ 150 miles (Springfield, MO to Kansas City, MO) without knowing where I lived.

There are significant differences in the new corporate model. There are multiple people on my account. I get calls from different people with different information from all over the country. I also get multiple emails. My information should be up to date, but it is very confusing.

This has been one of the worst experiences. The quality of matches and dating pool at IJL is horrible for the over-priced service. I was told this was an "elite" dating pool, and it's very obvious they take anyone willing to pay. My matches meet none of my basic criteria. One match was rude, and the last match lived over 4 hours away; IJL didn't see an issue. Also, their matchmakers only respond with the company line when you're frustrated. I've been doing this 9 months, received 3 matches, and they were all disappointing. I asked to end my membership early. If you live in a city, use Bumble. It's free, they have plenty of well-educated men, and I've had much better success! Don't waste your money on IJL.

Sheri is very professional and engaging. She exudes a warm and caring approach and provided great dating tips in advance of my first date. My only concern is with the discrepancies in my profile and am happy that Sheri offered to send an updated version.

Everything went well with the coaching session. She was very knowledgeable and attentive when giving feedback and guidance. The material provided was very helpful as well. I liked the flexibility of scheduling the appointment for my coaching meeting. Thank you!

It was a productive meeting. Sheri was a wonderful coach and gave me useful suggestions about the first date. She was very personable and easy to talk to. She was prepared for the meeting and made it fast and to the point.

It was very nice talking with Sheri for my first interview. She gave me some good hints about my first date and what to expect. It's been a while since I've been on a date and I am looking forward to dating again!

Sheri was very pleasant, concise and I was thoroughly informed as to 1) what to expect 2) what is expected of myself. She kept it real and answered all of my questions. I felt effectively coached for this 1st dating experience. I am glad I took advantage up front having this session prior to meeting my 1st match. Thank you. :)

Questionnaire was fast and friendly! I felt comfortable the whole time and now I feel more confident in finding a match. I like the security features of the whole process and especially having to have a meeting face to face to ensure identity.

I am very happy with It's Just Lunch. I have been involved with this dating service over the years and have always been happy with their service. I have met many nice people to date over time and I would recommend their dating service to friends.

The dating review session with Sheri was informative and fun. Sheri provided helpful information, clear instructions about the upcoming date, and insightful suggestions in regard to dating guidelines and behavior. The handouts were also insightful. The session was very helpful.
