It's Just Lunch Reviews

Sharry ** with IJL Charlotte has been excellent. Matching me with four lovely ladies so far and she has already called me about a fifth. If she can keep this up for the rest of the year I will be very pleased.

I had a positive, generally quite productive date consultation session with Sheri at IJL. My It's Just Lunch dating experience has been pretty good and overall I feel it's getting better. I have met some charming, accomplished, vivacious and beautiful women, and had many nice afternoons or evenings out. Going forward, I hope that it leads to the "right romantic connection" very soon. :)

I'm new to Miami and saw an ad for IJL in the United Airlines magazine. It looked upmarket, established and exactly what I was looking for. I don't particularly have a problem getting dates but I wanted someone to get me 'suitable' dates and that's pretty much what they advertise.

Sheri just gave me some really good tips and advice on how to enhance my dating experiences. I was married for almost 30 years, so it's not like I have much experience at this! She was kind, thoughtful and helpful. I'm looking forward to implementing her suggestions, and seeing what happens!

I had a great date coaching session with Sheri. She was very funny and easy to talk to. She obviously did a lot of preparation before the session because, in addition to the pre-session questionnaire I sent her, she had apparently reviewed my past matches, feedback, etc. She really knew her stuff and came to the session prepared. I am excited to put some of her suggestions into practice! I highly recommend her!

Michelle is always so friendly. She has a great ability to find positive attributes in all the people assigned to her. Michelle is a pleasure to deal with and I think her attention to customer service is a fantastic representation for your company.

Even though I haven't met the man, I have to say the entire experience was fine. The customer service was great and it was very easy. The dates were set up in nice places and my dating director was responsive and available. Shari my dating coach was great!

My coaching session was greatly positive. It showed me what to work on, what can be better, and what I need for my next dating situations. I thank IJL and their staff for working on all the necessary components on order to make my meetings successful!

I have returned from a break from IJL and had Mitch assigned to my case in Detroit. I have met some good women and he responds quickly to all of my correspondence. I am very happy with his customer service and would recommend him to anyone.

After evaluating dating firms in the area, I surely decided to go with It's Just Lunch. I've been on three dates so far and all have been enjoyable. Although chemistry can't be controlled by a firm, a good firm will provide agreeable matches. The matches directly picked by Kirk and Sylvia have been great so far. He is a respectful and hard working individual who does his best to arrange agreeable matches.

I feel like there hasn't been great matches available so far. Some dates I was surprised I was being set up on. My dating coaching session was great and fun, and hopefully there will be some good opportunities to put all that info to use.

Hmmm… Where do I begin? I went on one date with the most amazing lady ever! It has now been two weeks dating her and it is just Awesome to have such a great person in my life!! I really do see us spending the rest of our lives together :) and it is all because of Erin ** at "It’s Just Lunch". Thanks a million Erin!

Well, I have been "IJL" for about 3 months. When coming in contact with one of your staff members, first it was Sylvia. She was very helpful and getting me started on the process of my membership on here. Then I was contacted with staff Kirk. He has been very helpful as far as setting up dates, does a good Job selecting restaurants, very well informed. Keep up the good work Kirk.

I've had a wonderful experience with It's Just Lunch! The folks at IJL have done a fantastic job of getting to know me and identifying dates that meet my hopes and expectations. The team has been engaged and proactive!

I love working with Elisa and Michelle at IJL... I talked with Elisa for over 2 hrs before I joined, and I felt such a strong connection with her and the passion that she has for her work that she inspired me to join... Later, I worked with Michelle as my dating director, and through several long conversations, Michelle and I developed a great connection, and she gave me confidence that my true love was on her way to me... Michelle set up one date for me where she told me to walk into the restaurant and declare that I was there to "meet the love of my life!"... I did just that, and I was introduced to a beautiful woman that I did fall in love with... Unfortunately, a deal breaker was discovered that broke both our hearts... Michelle was a compassionate and thoughtful listener through the whole experience and offered advice, feedback, and most importantly, hope... I am confident that my true love is just around the corner, and IJL and Michelle are working hard to make it happen!... :-)

Dating coaching session - Well it was very refreshing to be able to listen to good and professional advice, and to create a plan to get to my goal. She make me feel comfortable and it was like having a conversation with a good old friend.

I loved working with Erin Springer at IJL! Within 3 dates she had the person that I was looking for nailed down! I am now dating an awesome guy and things are looking very promising! Thank you so much for this wonderful service that you provide.

Nika has been diligent at arranging dates for me and finding men that fit my profile and personality well. She is always friendly and accommodating both on the phone and in her e-mails. I am grateful for the support.

Through IJL I have had a welcome opportunity to meet highly intelligent women that have so much to contribute. In just few dates I am humbled. I thought I knew women, but have found that a Lady is more than a fairytale. I have been offered, by a truly professional dating counselor, the chance to create a new spark of romance. I do admit, I am not the golden ring, but, IJL has reinforced the life fact that "There is someone for you", "There is someone for everyone." Without doubt IJL has removed my fear of dating, has truly found "Ladies" that I can converse with and enjoy companionship. I am a professional within my industry, but did not expect the commitment and dedication (total underestimation by self) of "It's Just Lunch." If others might read this, "IJL" is not a bar, friend or relative trying to help you. IJL is something a whole lot better.

This is my first experience with a personalized matchmaking service and I was reluctant to join. However, so far it's been a great experience. My dating coach Debbie has been very helpful and professional. She is easy to reach, easy to talk to and has been understanding of the type of men I am interested in meeting. I'm excited about every date she arranges for me.

Thanks for all your help!!!! I met the love of my life :-) We were married last month. He was my 5th date, I was his 3rd... Sorry it took so long to write. We wouldn't be together without you. So sorry I doubted you in the beginning.

Vanessa listened to me & found me just what I always wanted in a man & then some. I meet my date for a lunch. I invited him to a outdoors concert after lunch, then he took me to dinner. We had the best first date ever! I have enjoyed my conversations with Vanessa. She is a great asset to IJL & us!

Watch out for the sales pitch. These salespeople who really are not matchmakers work on commission and will say anything to get your business. You do not receive any personal service. They do not follow the preferences and criteria they are given and will never refund your money even though they do not do as they promise, other than throwing you together with people to meet their numbers plans.

I just had my first coaching session with Sheri. I found her easy to talk to as well as a good listener. She asked a lot of questions that made me think about my dating experiences differently. The feedback she gave me tells me I am on the right track with just a few tweaks. The best way to go into the session is to keep an open mind. After all, we all have opportunities to show our best self on our dates.

After experiencing difficulty parking at two of the restaurants chosen by It's Just Lunch, I was very glad that the Senior Dating Coordinator was receptive to my suggestions for alternatives, which were more convenient in this regard and also on the IJL list of restaurants. My dates welcomed the options, and some voiced similar complaints about parking at a few of their previous restaurant destinations.

It was very nice talking with Sheri. She was very pleasant, informative and gave me a lot of helpful advice. She is very good at her job, a definite people person!

I was a little hesitant to sign up. However my It's Just Lunch Contacts made me feel at ease and helped me along the process. Rachel was amazing at making me "just chill out" and realized this was not about just the money, it was about finding the right one and enjoying yourself. Debbie took the time to figure out what my "it" type was. She hit the ball out of the ballpark. These two have been fantastic even when there were the bumps in the road.

Sheri was very knowledgeable about her profession as a dating coach. I had made a lot of mistakes on my dates and Sheri had the right answers to correct them or make different decisions on the dates. She clarify was on my level to understand the basics to possibly have a second date with the women I will meet in the future. I had more confidence after my conversation with Sheri and she wanted to make sure I understood everything within the hour we spoke on the phone.

After a rough start, It's Just Lunch worked with me to get who I was, what I was looking for and nailed it on the head, they took their time to get to know me and what I was looking for and we teamed up to find the right one!.

I am very satisfied and comfortable with the service received from the whole team of IJL and specially for the dedication and excellent care that Debbie has put into my case, helping me find the right match for my personality. This whole experience has been handled very professionally and looking for the best interest of all the people involved in such an interesting process of finding the most appropriate soul mate.

I would highly recommend IJL to anyone who is interested in meeting the right person. I recently moved to Cleveland and I have found the IJL team to be incredibly impressive and in short, amazing. Janelle and her team have a unique ability to make the experience professional, fun, meaningful and easy. With a busy schedule, this is particularly important to me. I have been very pleased with the experience and have recommended IJL to my close friends as well.

I did the website dating for more than a year and it was frustrating to send emails back and forth to women that may or may not be interested in dating or just seeing "what's out there". When I would be spending a great deal of my time pursuing internet dates, I would have a date 1 every 2 months. When I started It's Just Lunch (IJL), I was apprehensive about a dating service as I had never used one before. I went on my first few dates and I was nervous and I made some rookie mistakes, but because I have been going on dates closer together, I've been able to learn from my mistakes and have definitely gained more confidence and present the best version of myself on dates now.

I gave a five star only because you finally found a match that met my profile.

I want to say that Obed is always attentive to my concerns/needs as far as dating. He has worked diligently to find good matches for me. I appreciate his time and attention very much!!

Dating directors send links for good reviews and get bonuses on every good review that is online. IJL does a great job on selling that they are a premier dating service. The reality is very different. In the year that I signed up I had over 6 dating directors and only 2 of them were worth it. The good dating directors are quickly moved out of Orange County and lousy ones were put in their place. The new dating directors could not even bother to call their clients to introduce themselves. You have to manage them very carefully and I found myself sending emails constantly asking for them to set me up on a date. The dating directors did not spend time getting to know me or what I was looking for in a partner. I felt they just sent me out with anyone so that I would stop calling or sending emails. They did not take my feedback to heart. Needless to say it was a very frustrating year and I do not recommend IJL to anyone. If you do sign up I wish you lots of luck!

It's Just Lunch is a great way for a busy professional to meet that special someone. The IJL team coordinated dates that worked with my busy schedule and allowed me to meet some really great guys. It didn't take many dates before I found the one! Erin and Natalie were fun to work with and took the time to set up great dates. The process is smooth and allows for a lot of flexibility. I definitely recommend IJL for those who are ready to meet that special someone.

Sharry has been wonderful. She is always so positive and a genuine pleasure to work with!

I have joined IJL4 (the San Diego franchise) 3 times. Yes, that's right. The 1st and 2nd times were pretty good. I didn't meet the love of my life but I went out on some decent dates. I was about halfway through my 2nd membership and they called me up asking about the Elite Service. It was pricey but I fell for the hype anyway. Big mistake! The matchmakers were useless. They didn't do even half of what they promised. I didn't go on one date for the 1st 2 months of a 6-month contract. They sent me on two dates (one was OK and one was lousy) and then I called up to complain (again).

I have found the experience to be a good one, pretty much since the first day I called to sign up. Everyone I've spoken to has been both professional and friendly, always interested in my best interests and, over time, were able to really fine-tune the men I was matched with. Some negative reviews exist online for this service, but I have found those to be totally inaccurate, or due to people who have a set decision already in mind of who they want to be with, and it's totally unrealistic. Within the men who are a part of this service, I found that my matches were usually very well suited, and improved steadily as my dating continued. I have already started advising friends to use this service if it exists in the city where they live, and will continue to do so.

I would like to say that Katie has simply been the best person for me for arranging for matches. She has always been honest and has listened to me when I made requests. She has been very attentive, always polite and is very caring. Simply the best!

I had a great session with Sheri on 3/24/14 and her dating advice was spot on. Not only did she listen and give me great advice on future dating but she took it a step further and identified an Oprah "Ah-Ha" moment for me that brought everything back in a full circle with the feedback gathered from my previous dates with IJL and past relationships outside of IJL.

I had my first IJL today, and poor guy drove 3 hours and we were no more match than a man in the moon. They told me he was in the medical profession. What is so funny about that is he is PhD. I think they looked at the Dr. in front of his name and thought he was a medical doctor. These folks are dingbats.

Obet is the best. Working with him is a pleasure. He needs a raise.

Sharry is very nice to work with. Easy to talk to. Answers questions and listens well. She always gets back to me very quick if I have a question. I would recommend her and It's Just Lunch.

I have several great dates and met some really great women here. Thanks Obed for the great work! It's all been very good in my view, and I have recommended this to a friend who has joined as well. Great Concept and thanks for everything!

After deciding it was time to date again, I joined IJL mainly because I was not interested in going through picture after picture and profile after profile of "available" men who would also be going through my picture and profile. I wanted something a little more intimate or my dream was someone would find me a compatible life partner. And then I learned about IJL!

I have used IJL more than once and really like their service. It has been helpful in finding really great people I wouldn't have found otherwise. As a busy person, it’s hard to find time to date, but IJL really helps you get excited about the process and makes it so easy. Thanks IJL for all you do.

I've had 4 dates so far & my last date was excellent. I felt Shari & I have had a good relationship & she truly cares that I find the perfect match. I know that I can call Shari at any time & she responds within a timely manner. I love having the personal interaction that IJL provides. Thank You!

Overall I do feel this offers quality matches with similar interest. This can be a function of not be able to read behind the participants. I did like my interaction with the Dating Advisor. She was professional and offered great advice. She was prompt and provided timely follow up. Great work Sherri!

Erin and the rest of the team do a wonderful job of communicating. While I was a little unsure at the beginning about the expense, I feel like it is a good value. I met some really interesting people I would not have ordinarily met and found an amazing romantic connection that I would not have met on my own. I would encourage others to give it a try!

I've been with IJL for a couple of months. So far, it has been a great experience. The matches have been spot on and exactly what I'm looking for. I'm new to the area and finding good quality women is hard to do. My dating coach Obed has been prompt and finds me matches that I express to him that I want. It is worth the investment for sure!!

I live near Boone, NC and would like to see if it is possible for me to be paired with ladies closer than Charlotte, NC. Bristol, VA, Bristol, TN, Johnson City, TN., Winston Salem, NC and Greensboro, NC are all possibilities. Sharry has been very kind and considerate and has worked hard at finding me partners. She is always very kind and considerate and works hard at trying to get matches together.

Nika did an outstanding job for me. I believe that she always had my best interests at heart, and worked within the parameters set by IJL. My dissatisfaction comes from the IJL experience as a service. The saleswoman (I don't care what title she has, because she was nothing but a saleswoman) way oversold the service in my opinion. I feel that the truth was manipulated in such a way so as to still be somewhat "true", but very misleading. I was led to believe that the feedback from my dates would be quickly shared with me so as to be beneficial on following dates.

Wonderful dining experience with a beautiful and cultured woman who really impressed me with her looks, spirit and soul. We really hit it off and I am really looking forward to our next interaction!

Sheri was very helpful. I will try to improve my weaknesses that she notice. I feel that this coaching session will improve my chances to a second date. Thanks.

I am enjoying the complete "It's Just Lunch" experience. Sharry is a great coordinator that listens to my feedback. She has made the experience the best.

Sheri does a great job with coaching - she offers positive and constructive comments to make my dating life even better. I recommend IJL as it is a great part of my social life to meet new people.

Sheri has restored my faith in IJL. She has been very receptive and more importantly to me, very communicative. Each time I emailed her, she responded promptly, even if it was just to confirm reception of the email. The counseling was enlightening. Sheri provided some helpful hints and it was interesting to hear feedback from my dates. I enjoyed having someone really listen to me and to be patient and realistic.

IJL made it easy for me to start dating after being divorced. They arranged great dates and I became comfortable with dating. This led me to meeting someone that I've been dating for over a year.

Getting honest feedback from my dates and suggestions of what I can do better on my future dates is of great help and gives me hope for better results in the future.

My first date match up was incredible. Everything I mentioned I was looking for this guy has. I was amazed and still am amazed at how good a job Karina did. I am incredible happy and may have found my life partner. This guy feels the same way. We are so thankful to Karina.

I had a good experience with "It's Just Lunch". It is a great program for busy people like me. In reality, it's a shortcut to find a romantic relationship. I am very thankful to everyone at "It's Just Lunch", very pleasant and knowledgeable crew.

Sheri was very positive and helpful during our coaching session. She gave me several tips on areas that I could improve based on feedback from my previous dates. I would have liked to talk to her longer so we could get into even more detail about how I could improve my dating experiences overall.

Do not waste your money! This company is a total scam. I spent $1500 and got 2 dates in 4 months. They lack professionalism and are only interested in your money. My first date was set up in a town that wasn't really convenient for either of us since the dating specialist didn't know what city I lived in. She was supposed to make a reservation in both our names. When I got there, I found there was no reservation. And weirdly enough they had us meet in a hotel. After the first date you're supposed to meet with a representative from IJL. A meeting was arranged and I drove 3 hours and was stood up by an IJL representative. After that I started to wonder about this company. I was than informed that there were only 2 men available for me to date in my territory of 3 metropolitan cities and that these men were separated but not divorced. This was unacceptable to me.

I know that matching people up is tricky. Dating reps are usually very enthusiastic and friendly - very optimistic. However, I do think that when clients provide clear specifications about the most important criteria, at least those ought to be strictly respected. There are three things that cause my dissatisfaction.

I've enjoyed my experience with IJL and met some great ladies. Sharry is a very good coordinator and actually listens to my feedback and just doesn't randomly select girls for me to meet. I would recommend IJL to anyone tired of the bar scene or finds it hard to meet people because of their busy schedule. I fall into both categories and am glad I gave IJL a try.

It's Just Lunch has set me up with some very highly potential mates. I am still in the process of finding the one but overall they are very patient and compassionate. Also they are a very friendly team. Open and honest. I would recommend them to friends if they asked for help in the love area of their life.

During this past 6 months, I have had the opportunity to meet various interesting men of which I am certain under normal circumstances I would not have come across. We have had engaging conversations as well as the enjoyment of nice settings. My experience has been a pleasant experience.

I have been with IJL for almost a year. I was happy at the beginning. However, I did not have any date from December to February. I was not quite happy with the service and were thinking about quitting. But Vanessa took over a couple of month ago. Since then, I decided to stay. She always replies to my emails and calls. When I have a request, she always respects me and takes care of it right away. Because of her service, I am willing to continue trying the service.

They have no sense of where you live and where they arrange dates. Their sales people are worse than the worst used car sales people and have no idea of what they are selling or who you are. They need to use maps (any map) to understand the geography. They need to be able to answer the phone using a human. Tomorrow is never soon enough when things are not working. Suspend your account, but they will charge your card anyway. It is a Very bad business. Too expensive for what is delivered. Don’t even think about it. It is very bad.

Sheri has great communication skills that enabled me to learn faster. She has easy personality that makes learning fun. I was very happy with my session.

It's Just Lunch is a great concept and I found the staff I met to be very professional, friendly, excited about the program and helpful. Unfortunately, my dates, though all very nice, did not evolve into a relationship or even friendships. Life it seems has different plans for me. Nonetheless, I would recommend the program to others.

It was a good experience and well organized. Up to this point I found it enjoyable. I feel it is helping me reach my goal.

My lunch date with Leroy was nice. We were on time the restaurant was beautiful and the food was delicious. Our conversation was interesting, we have some things in common, so is our lunch enjoyable.

I highly recommend IJL. Their staff is top notch! My personal experience has been fabulous thus far. I work mainly with Kara, but the rest of the team all do a fantastic job and appear to be quite knowledgeable. I like the fact that they're straight forward and provide me with pretty clear-cut direction. The fact that I travel a ton means that I don't have to do a lot of thinking when it comes to planning for date. I prepare based on the information they provide first-hand. Then the rest is up to me. The more dates I go on and the better they get to know me, enables them to tailor my next date. Now I'm not saying this is the "end all be all," but it does complement what I do on my own. After all, you have to want to be in a relationship in order to find that right person. IJL just increases your pool of potentials. Bottom line, if you don't have time to read profiles online, which I'm not a fan of… then this is a pretty good alternative.

I have know about It's Just Lunch for a while. I just never pulled the trigger in the past. That is until a couple of months ago. I am in a not so unique position: I am an officer in my company and I do not have time to do the website/bar thingy. Well, I definitely can do the website thingy; however, going through all of those profiles, then sending e-mails, and maybe if I am lucky, I get a response... who has the time?

Kerri is my 5th dating director and by far the best. She communicates and listens. She is actually working hard on my behalf to find me the right person.

I have gotten great service from my primary coordinator, Alexis. She has taken the time to get to know me and really wants me to be successful. She is responsive, kind and has good insights into the process. Megan has been great to work with also.

They set me up on two dates that went well. The third date they refined my search and set me up with the most wonderful woman. We can't stay away from each other. Thank you.

I liked my coaching session. My coach, Sheri, was very nice, friendly, easygoing and non judgmental. I received very useful information regarding what I should talk about, what not to say, how to dress to impress, feedback regarding the impression I made during my dates, how to keep a balance in a conversation, tips on flirting, interesting stories to share and my attitude overall. I came out of it with more confidence and inspired with optimism.

I was matched with wrong men. My last date was totally mismatched, not only interest wise but also physical appearance. It is conveyed incorrectly that you get the minimum 4 dates because you only get 4 dates -- very disappointing. My dating coach Sheri was very nice and helpful. She gave me great dating insights.

IJL is a great service - Dating director Obed is very prompt on follow-up with phone calls and emails. His customer service is superb. Highly recommend!

Became a member almost a year ago. What they promised was to set up 10 dates within a year. No more, yet they were not able to meet the requirements despite my follow up call to request for their better response. I was contacted more often to ask me if I want to put it on hold because I was travelling (for 3 days!) or men are not available during holiday season. Only 9 profiles been shared so far, including 2 happened last month (after 10 month of contracts). Dates didn't happen with 4 of them. Because they are travelling or last minute cancellation.

I have been so pleased with the quality of the matches I received through IJL as well as the professionalism I received from Kara and the others I encountered. The men with whom they matched me were professional and good quality people, which is what I was hoping to meet. However, it just takes one who feels compatible on so many levels and I feel so grateful and happy to say that I am in a committed, long-term relationship with someone who meets so many of the criteria that I was hoping to find. Thank you for your diligence and attention to detail!

Sheri was positive and helpful. The coaching session went well and was informative. I felt out of the all of the people I have dealt with (five Dating Directors) she was the only one that gave me the impression that she cared. Also James the membership consultant seemed to be on top of his game. I may have to fill one of these out again about the Dating Directors. That one will be less positive. But the coaching session was good. I almost wish there was more feedback but that is up to the girls to provide after the date.

There have been issues with organization and communication, although as of late, Kara seems to be the best. What I mean by that is telling one person one time and me another, no shows, doing a reminder call when no date had been set up. Just messy customer service. There are not many men in the Denver region, and many more women. As I've been told by many of the dates I've been on, so the number of dates is a lot less than I had imagined.

My contacts at IJL have been very engaged and committed to the goal of finding really good matches for me. I am a busy professional and a single mom. I have met so many men that, I am convinced, I never would have encountered otherwise. A great way to spend an evening, and sometimes, lots more! Thank you IJL for getting me out and interacting with interesting men!

I've been pleased with everything about It's Just Lunch! It's easy to participate, the process feels uncomplicated and safe, and the dates are fun. The people who work at my local office are helpful and pleasant. I'd recommend the service!

The women I have met are quality women who are intelligent and have a good sense of humor, as well as being courteous and very good conversationalist. When we go out to dinner, the places are some of the best restaurants I have been to and are reasonably priced. Best of all Just For Lunch arranges all the details for your next date or "meeting". All you have to do is show up and enjoy the company of the person you're meeting for that day. Can it get better than that?

First, the IJL coordinators are excellent and really make a difference. Your initial meet up is a hassle-free encounter, allowing you to arrive focused and with a smile on your face. Second, the quality of the people that I have met is beyond reproach. Every date was an interesting and articulate individual with whom I spent more time with than I had originally planned.

I enjoyed the coaching session I had with Sheri and learned a lot. It was interesting to hear some of the feedback she shared with me so I can concentrate on better presenting myself. Sheri is very upbeat and positive and presents the feedback to you in an uplifting way.

Thus far I am hoping that it gets better from this point going forward. I want to meet women who have time to date and will make a real effort to get to know the person. I hope they will clear the evening and not have a business meeting planned for later on that night. It would not leaving anyone feeling great to see their date run off instead of getting to know the person better.

This review is for Alexis **. Alexis & everyone I have dealt with at It's just lunch have been very responsive accurate & very helpful in all aspects of their service to me. I've already recommended them. Thank you very much.

Thanks to Amanda and Annie, I met an amazing guy! We are so compatible with enough things in common and enough things that are different to keep a relationship alive. Thanks for listening to what I was looking for, responsive to my feedback, and finding the perfect person for me.

As I went through this process, I kept weighing the points and thinking of the concept behind this method. Basically, it's a few hundred dollars to be set up on a blind date. Certainly, there is a security factor, which I believe is good. I also believe that the dating consultants are making an effort to match based on the feedback the clients provide. The women I've met were decent people - however, if I had photos prior to deciding to agree on a date, I probably would not have consented in two of my four cases. I think there is something valuable in an initial visual attraction which this system tries to understate.

My overall experience with IJL has been very positive. The counselors I've worked with have all been professional, friendly and sincerely interested in finding good matches for me. The majority of the people I've been matched with have been high quality, interesting and easy to talk with. I would recommend IJL to anyone looking to meet like-minded, fun and interesting people.

I'm really enjoying my experience with It's Just Lunch. I honestly believe my coordinator listens to me and takes the time out to find me the best dates possible. I know this takes time and I am pleased with my results thus far.

It was nice to review with Sheri the previous dates midway through the commitment. There were many insights to not only my personality, but also how others perceive me.

I joined IJL about three months ago and am overall pleased with it. My coordinator Alexis is great at keeping the schedule organized and providing feedback (not to mention sharing the occasional kernel of dating wisdom). I have found that the women I have been introduced to are worthwhile and it has been enjoyable. If the price doesn't scare you away, I would recommend this service for people looking expand their dating horizons.

She is responsible of making my experience and relationship very special. She is very professional and efficient. She is very responsive. The dating director is a crucial position and you are very well represented with Melody.

Debbie is the best and cares for her clients to the zenith! Debbie, took the time to see what happened in past "Just Lunch dates" and made new ones a better fit. I'm happy with this site because of Debbie. Thank you.

My overall experience with IJL had been poor until Melody became my matchmaker. She is very personable and follows through. The men she has set me up with have been quality. I'm looking forward to meeting my soulmate and enjoy working with her!

I joined IJL soon after my divorce and found it to be an exceptional service to meet new people in similar situations as myself. So much better than the internet sites which I found very disappointing and tediously unproductive. My contact was Elizabeth ** who listened to my desires and objectively sought a match for me. And she finally did just that and am currently happy for a change.

I had a lengthy telephone coaching session with Sheri ** today. The session was enlightening and useful. Sheri was professional and yet accommodating. In summary, it was very useful.

IJL seems to enjoy a high degree of success because of its system of human interviewers. These people put together more complete profiles of IJL's clients than would result from simply filling out a computer form. The interviewers ask follow-up questions which cause the client to provide far more information about themselves and what they are looking for in a partner. This gives IJL's date arrangers the information they need to make better matches. In my case, I met my perfect match on my third date, her first. You cannot ask for better performance than that.

My 1st date was with Tony. It went very well. He is just a great person. Very educated, polite and phenomenal manners. It turned out that we know the same individuals and we have a lot in common. It was more like a business lunch than a date. Tony referenced to his wife few times. I do not feel comfortable dating someone who has not finalized his divorce. I just do not feel right. Tony took my card and promised to call me next week. These are types of men I would like to meet in the future. Thank you for introducing Tony to me! I look forward to my next date!

Tia is wonderful to work with. She is highly sensible to her client's needs. I would recommend her without any hesitations. Thank you very much.

Debbie **, senior dating director, south Florida has been excellent since she started to work with me. She is smart, dependable, dedicated, communicates well, intuitive, hard working, and pays attention to details. My initial experience with IJL was inconsistent and sometimes unreliable in terms of facts about women I was matched with, but since Debbie took over it has been a consistent excellent experience which I attribute entirely to her.

I joined IJL because I want to meet women who have something invested, as I do, and will hopefully have the same goal as I do -- to build a relationship with someone, and because I gave up on the online dating sites... not good experiences. I also joined because my expectation was that I would meet more women who work in "white collar" jobs, and are more... "cultured"... for lack of a better word, than I was meeting using the online sites. I was a little disappointed at first because I was not meeting women who have the attributes I desire (both physical and other).

Overall, I've been happy with my experience with IJL. I've only been a member for a little over a month, so everything is relatively new. Vanessa has been very helpful in matching me with people with whom I am compatible. She's been very kind and sincere in her efforts.

My dating coach session with Sheri was helpful in several ways. Sheri provided encouragement as well as practical feedback that will be helpful to me as I continue to date in hopes of finding my special someone. And she was humorous and easy to talk with as well.

I have really enjoyed working with Vanessa of It's Just Lunch! She is very professional and delightful to work. I think she gets just as excited about the dates as I do! So far it has been a fabulous program. They pick the match for you and set the time and the place. All I need to do is show up and have fun. Thanks for making this a great experience, Vanessa!

I found this session to be quite useful, because it is seldom you can get feedback from the other party, which helps pinpoint where your improvement opportunities are... And dating can be very strenuous and complicated, so feedback helps to reassure your positive points and take care of the negative ones. Also, considering you only get one chance at a first impression, fixing a bad strategy is most important for ultimately succeeding.

I've had a couple of interesting dates. My dating advisers are very positive, helpful, kind, and fun to work with. Now if I could find someone special it would be great. I'm sure it will happen soon.

Sheri is someone I feel like I can be open and honest with about my dating experience at IJL. She is funny, witty, good listener, made our session very easy, great personality. During our one hour call, because of her I felt like I was talking to a friend of mine, I did not feel uncomfortable at all. I am usually very private and don't open up too much to my friends and family, let alone someone I barely know. But I was very open and honest with her. I know for sure the feedback she provided to me from my past dates and the dating tips she gave me will be very helpful for my future dating. I highly recommend this to anyone. I only wish she were my dating director.

I have enjoyed the service so far. I was a little disappointed in the one-on-one meeting with the IJL representative. It did not seem like anymore information was gleaned from me other than what I had told the other IJL representative over the phone a few weeks earlier. On my first date, the woman was told a few incorrect things about me that I disappointed about (my name and my height). But I think that was more Anya's fault than the service's fault. The other two IJL representatives George and Kirk both have done a great job of setting me up with some quality dates. Even though they have not all worked out the way I would have liked them to, I have not had a bad date yet. Of the six dates that I have had, I tried continuing on with two of them. Unfortunately one did not work out, but the other hasn't failed yet ... so that's promising!

I've been very impressed with my dating director..... She is very good at targeting my dates and is very professional over the phone. I'm having a positive experience!!!! Thank you!!!

I recently completed a dating coach session with Sheri. I honestly got a lot out of. I felt that Sheri asked a lot of good and responded with honest and good feedback. I know this will have a positive influence on my future dates.

I would recommend It's Just Lunch to all my single friends. The company was good to me. I have been having a good time on my dates that you and the coordinators set up for me. This is my second year in as a client. Alexis as my coordinator does her job well. She explains my matches to me in fine details, calls me right away if there is a change in the date that she sets me up with, very polite and answers all my questions in full.

I had a real bad experience with your service, mainly with your dating directors: Pat, Natalie, Martha, Judy, to name a few . My complaints should be documented at your end since I had called several times and voiced my displeasure & disappointment with your service. This all changed when Melody became involved, she has done a much better job than all of the other put together. It's like night and day compared with others. She is a wonderful dating director and an asset to your company. I was about to take legal action against It's Just Lunch but Melody stopped me by doing a great job.

It's difficult enough to find the perfect drink at a bar and finding your perfect match in love at a place called something like "Sharky's or Strobe's and Epilepsy" is even harder. This is why IJL has been instrumental in completing my search for me. They take the necessary time to find out what really makes us light up when we meet the right person for us. We're a generation of social media and reaching beyond the barrier's of local hangouts to fulfill our heart's needs; why not have a guide for the adventure. Hire IJL and finally attain the Heart Confidence you've been searching for on your dating journey.

I have used It's Just Lunch for a year. I have met many nice women. Alexis is my coordinator. She has been good at coordinating the dates. She is very professional.

Sheri has been a great coach, listens carefully, gives good feedback, has been very effective. It's easy to talk to her openly and she asks lot of questions to understand me deeply.

I joined It's Just Lunch about a year and 9 months ago. I meet my fiance through their service. I meet about 20 potential dates before her. One other resulted in a relationship. Their service consists of interviewing you both over the phone and in person. They then try to set you up with potential dates. They set me up about 1 date every 2-3 weeks. They arranged the place and time to meet that is agreeable to both parties and make the reservation for you. You then both meet in a fairly low pressure environment.

They set me up with a woman they spoke highly of. We dated... then she was charged with insurance fraud. What a ride that was. They really did not seem to care when I told them. Did not offer to give any type of free service.

My dating director Kerry is awesome! She calls me at least once a week to see how things are going and has had nothing but great matches for me since we have been working together. I'm excited to see what happens in my social life in the next few months. I am very confident that she will find me someone special to add to me life if she hasn't already. She truly listens to what I am looking for and THEN, she uses that information to make the matches fun and interesting. She focuses on quality matches, not quantity of matches. It's been a fun process so far and I am looking forward to seeing what happens with my IJL experience.

I enjoy my conversations with Gloria always and direction when I ask her questions, and her humor always puts a smile on my face. And the date she set up for me turned out to be a good date. Look forward to the next one through her. I will call just to say hi. Keep up with the positive support. Gloria I look forward to the next date, hope soon.

Went through the initial process, which involved sharing some information with a coordinator, so she could understand my interests and personality. The process was painless, and the questions were designed to match me with women with comparable interests and personalities. I would say the IJL coordinator I worked with is very good at her job, with a knack for picking appropriate matches on many levels. Have enjoyed the experience so far and would recommend to friends.

I have really enjoyed my experience with It's Just lunch. All my dates have been really nice and even the ones that I have not seen but once, they were very attractive and they had a lot in common with me. I have recommended this site to my single and divorced friends. This site does a very good job to set up a man and woman with similar expectations.

So far, I have found It's Just Lunch to be helpful in the dating process. Each employee has been fairly attentive to my case which has made the experience more than favorable. I think the matchers do their best to make good matches. I greatly appreciate their efforts.

As a professional, single male in my early 40's, I was relocated from New York to Miami, without any social network to speak of. I met with the folks at It's Just Lunch and was immediately impressed with their pre-screening and matching process. I was soon introduced to my Senior Dating Counselor, Debbie, and I had my first date scheduled in no time. Debbie has done a terrific job matching me with some terrific, interesting dates at vibrant, date-appropriate restaurants. Thanks to IJL and Debbie, I've started a new relationship and have developed some great friendships in a new city!

Can this really be my life? Or has there been some mistake? Mucho thanks to Debbie for the perfect date with Emma! Wherever I am, you have a friend.

I work with Alexis at It's Just Lunch and she has been a pleasure to work with. The service is well-managed and customer-focused. Thanks, Alexis, for the great experience with IJL.

February 3, 2014. On Friday, I met my fist IJL Match whom I'll call Mr. L. I was pleased with Mr. L's appearance in regards him being well groomed and sporting business attire. The date lasted for approximately 90 minutes with continuous conversation that revolved around our professional, educational and personal profiles. I would like to commend IJL for this introduction ....as Mr. L brings an impressive background "to the table" for representing the quality of matches that I am seeking.

Sharry has been great in setting up dates and communicating what is working. All of the women I have met are good looking and matched most of my interests. I would definitely recommend IJL and Sharry to friends.

I worked mostly with Alexis. She is probably the most enthusiastic and energetic coordinator I had. She is amazing at portraying my dates in a very positive way... I can only imagine how she described me to my dates! I really appreciate her patience in coordinating my dates within my schedule. It was a true pleasure having her as my coordinator.

In general, it is very hard for me to comment on the service for now, since I only dated 3 men since my sign up last July, and my first date in last October was a big disappointment since the restaurant where I supposed to meet with the date was not even open. I had to take another trip on a different date to meet the same guy again, really waste of time and energy. The worst thing was that I could not find anyone to call for help (it was on a weekend) at that time, it finally took me about 40 minutes to find a nice lady who helped to explain the situation to the date. I was told that a small reimbursement would be given for the mistake, however it has never been received so far.

Karina was very responsive and professional. She always returned my calls and emails in a timely fashion. She is kind and supportive in a potentially stressful and emotional situation. We never met in person, but she is very personable on the phone. I hope she succeeds!

When I first joined Just Lunch I was very excited, then I went out on my first 4 dates and I had very poor experience. Then I spoke with director and told her what I was exactly looking for. But what made the turn around for my experience was the changing of my coordinator. Alexis ** was great person to work with, she is absolutely a joy person to deal with either by talking to her or by scheduling my dates, she is very enthusiastic and she has great customer skills. I was very dissatisfied with my service with just lunch then I started to work with her!!

My dating coaching session with Sheri has very helpful. She provided many useful insights to help me reach my dating goals. The information was presented in a very constructive, positive way that resonated well. She was also a great listener and was able to quickly respond to all of my questions.

Tia has been very diligent, responsive and on the ball with her service thus far. She is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to meeting the matches that she has made for me.

During my one-on-one meeting with Thelma; I expressed my pros and cons regarding my first date through IJL. In this meeting I ultimately revealed exactly what I'm yearning for in a man. Karina very skillfully took action. Karina diligently read through many profiles until she found what I can only describe as my future second "perfect" date. Even though my date is scheduled for a week from today, I wrote the word "perfect" because everything I heard about this man sounds "perfect for me!"

Melody has done an excellent job for me. Finding amazing and beautiful ladies for me to meet. She is wonderful to work with. Always very friendly and full of positive energy. I wasn't sure about dating this way but Melody and the ladies I have met and all of the staff of IJL have made this a great experience. Thank you.

The service is great, personable and attention to details was paid. The telephone conversations were thoughtful, my preferences were considered and the dates were timely. Though I have not found my match through IJL, I would recommend it as an experience.

Debbie has been my contact with you folks. Let me rate her. She has been professional and courteous. Still remaining at a business level but I could tell she was also a friend. Always a good representative for you. As far as meeting folks through any dating service, I think it is hard when you are 70. Possible but not easy. You guys did your best. I met a few possibles but have finally given up. Not on meeting people - just doing it through dating services.

I recently joined IJL and I have been impressed with the professionalism and attention provided by the staff and the dating consultants, in particular Debbie.

The coaching session took about an hour, in a series of questions about dating habits and routines. Sheri was friendly and encouraging, offering feedback and helpful tips on how to get the most out of each date.

I must say Sharry is great at her job. She is very sincere, talks with me about what I am looking for in a date, sets up dates for me. The weather this January has been terrible and Sharry has taken extra time to reschedule dates. I am so appreciative because this is so much work to try a reschedule both parties. Once again I give high praise and many thanks to Sharry.

Welcomed and excellent feedback received. I'll be able to make a small changes that I didn't recognize as important that others saw very important. I was hesitant of what I'd get back but self continuous improvement was needed and is always good. Few changes go from being a good dating experience to a great dating experience. Thanks!

You are a 'doll'... Thank you for putting so much effort and love into my finding Mr. Right. I am grateful. Thanks again. I enjoyed meeting James last evening.

Expectations Met. Of the meetings set up to date, I am matched roughly half the time with people that I can spend a few hours with to meet and get to know each other. But all of the meetings have met my general criteria. I understand that the amount of people in my area limits the ability to match specifically to all of my criteria.

Just finished coaching session with IJL.....wow...truly eye opening and helpful....Sheri was very good at getting to a specific point and coaching in a way that made you feel that the answer was the most simple and natural reaction to specified happening....I truly endorse this session ...try it....you will not be disappointed...

I would highly recommend It's Just Lunch as a dating/matching service. I am 57 years old and have been dating again the last few years. This organization is by far the most professional and the most interested in who you really are and what will work for your unique needs. I always know that when they make a match it is based on my needs and their experience with me. It is not about how many matches, it is about the quality of the match. I strongly believe they are the best at what they do.

My coaching session with Sheri from IJL was perfect. We discussed my dates up to this point and the questions Sheri asked were specific and right on target. I believe that our coaching session will lead to dates with women very close to what I'm looking for. I didn't know that coaching sessions were part of the IJL process and I was very impressed with how thorough the session was. Sheri did a great job and I believe the results will show that.

So far I met decent people but Debbie has been a very good help. Hopefully I meet the ONE soon. But relationships are like the lottery.

Frances is very enthusiastic and joyful in her efforts to find a suitable match for me. She responds in a timely matter to my concerns and tries to accommodate wherever possible. I highly recommend Frances as a Dating Counselor.

I am early to the program, so my experience is limited, and that is reflected in my level of satisfaction. Hopefully that will improve soon. I have not had any unpleasant experiences, as both of the women I have dated so far have been very nice, even if nothing will likely develop further from those particular dates. I was not pleased when I learned the second date had a daughter, as I thought I had made it clear when I registered for the program that I was interested in women without children. Nevertheless, I have spoken at length with Melody and she has taken steps to remedy that situation.

Kirk has been of amazing assistance to me. I would consider myself to be very particular, and to my surprise, he knows exactly what I want, and how to go about it. I trust him enough to run my businesses for me! He is incredibly sharp, warm, sweet, and understanding to my needs, and I would recommend him to anyone!

Kirkb is doing a great job of helping me find my special someone. He is always available and easy to talk to. On to the next date!

I was surprised to have the dating coach session and was very pleased with the results. I was asked a lot of questions about dates, which made me really think about my habits, expectations and areas for improvement. I definitely recommend a coaching session as it will help me on future dates.

I'm in the middle of the dating process, and I am just loving it. My "coach" is named Alexis. It took me a little bit to ask her this, but I really thought she owned the company. Her customer service skills are outstanding! She takes the time to listen to what you have to say. She really cares, and wants you to find that right person. In this day it is hard to find the right fit. IJL gives me the WOW factor. If anyone asks, I would recommend IJL in a heartbeat. I have really enjoyed trying all of the different eateries. The matches have not been bad and at times kind of funny. Alexis, Game is on - let's find the right fit.

Very good first date. The lady was above and beyond the type quality person I had hoped for. She was very pretty and very educated and cultured.

I love the fact that all I need to do is give my coordinators my availability and they make all the arrangements for me to meet someone new. I can relax when I show up at the designated meeting place. It's easy to focus on getting to know someone at a first meeting rather than hassling with trying to coordinate schedules. Thank you, IJL!

Obed is the best dating coach! This is a fun and exciting program and Obed does a fantastic job being thorough, explaining the process, and making you feel comfortable and confident. I would recommend this dating service and highly recommend Obed.

After a couple of hiccups which were not Sharry's fault I met some really great women. Sharry was super to work with. Friendly, caring and kind. Very reactive to my interests and circumstances. My experience was fun and rewarding.

I've only been in "It's Just Lunch" a short time, but so far I've been very satisfied with the way that I have been taken care of. Sharry has been very attentive to what I'm looking for in a partner. I'm sure with her help I have a good chance of finding the one. Thank you.

My first interaction was with Julie - what a riote, easy to talk to, lots of fun. Then my dating counselor was with Nika - no sense of humor, hard to get a hold of. Felt like I was always after her to get me out there. First date had young kids or kid and I was clear I didn't want to date anyone with young kids. Was a waste of my time. Next 2 had nothing in common with me. Now I'm with GLORIA ** LOL. She’s funny, easy to talk to. I hope she gets it what I want. When I call she’s normally there. My first date is this coming weekend and I’m hopeful.

My first date with IJL went pretty well! It was a nice evening to unwind after work over a drink and small dinner. No pressure, no expectations… just being yourself with simple, easy conversation and let the chips fall where they may. The IJL Dating Director was very helpful and made sure the coordination of the meet and greet was seamless. IJL is a great alternative to the dating sites, bars, gyms or even self setups!

I have enjoyed my experience with It's Just Lunch. Melody has done a wonderful job matching me with men who have many similar hobbies, interesting personalities, and a physical compatibility with my personal preferences. I appreciate the time and effort she puts into finding matches, arranging dates, reviewing feedback, and following up with me. The reason for giving only 3 stars relies solely on the price versus the amount of dates I've gone on -- with a limited income, it's simply a lot of money (not that it's not worth it) to spend in one year on 10 to ? dates. While I haven't made a worthwhile or lasting connection with a match yet, I know we are heading in the right direction and have confidence in Melody's skills that my next dates will be as compatible and enjoyable as the last few she has orchestrated.

I have and would again recommend IJL. Megan and Klarissa are both patient and very good listeners. I ask a lot of questions about the ladies I am going to meet because I am a busy and want to make sure the matches are good fits for me. Also when there is a date set I like to be certain the time and location are accurate, so I am always double checking. So I have been happy with the experience at IJL and tell friends when I can.

I wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed working with Sharry, my dating director. She has been wonderful not only at scheduling dates for me but listens to my concerns and offers good suggestions. I appreciate her efforts so much and will tell others about the great service she is providing. It has been a pleasure to work with her.

I joined IJL 4 weeks ago, and I am enjoying the dating process. Alexis is my coordinator and she "gets it." I feel like I can be fully expressed when conversing with her. Overall, I'm comfortable with her. She has a way of being with you because what you want matters to her. Simply put, she listens. I like that!

I have had a good experience with Its Just Lunch. They have made the sometimes difficult and awkward world of dating easier to navigate for sure.

I had been a member years ago. And initially, I thought things seemed better, a lot more people involved "working for you". But as in the past, I think it's hard when you speak with so many people because they really don't get to know you so I'm still on the fence about my experience. It's not bad but it's not great either. Karina has been attentive and responsive but I feel as though last time more information was shared with us about our "dates" many questions I asked I was told they could not be answered.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the women I was introduced to. I highly recommend this program for the man that wants to meet high quality, professional women. I have tried other dating services, and this has been by far my best experience.

Melody is kind professional and has a great working knowledge of matching people together. I would recommend her to all those concerned or involved.

I've had the pleasure of working with Alexis from IJL - Chicago over the past 3 weeks. She is a joy to work with, very responsive, matches very well, and always available. She is great to work with.

Sharry V. has been a wonderful dating director. She returns my calls and emails in a timely manner. Even more than that, she is like a fairy godmother. I feel that she takes a personal responsibility in finding matches for me that she truly feels I will enjoy spending time with. Sharry V. knows me from talking with me and the information from my interviews. She has used that information to find matches for me. She is able to filter through matches to find ones that fit me and would take me so much more time to determine on an online match site on my own. Thank you, Sharry! I'm so fortunate to have you!

I'm very pleased with my experience with It's Just Lunch. They make it easy and enjoyable to date. I love trying new restaurants that we go to. The men are professional. Your security is never compromised. Highly recommended!!

I should have known it wasn't going to be good when the first date they set me up with was a man they said was "good for first dates". So after sitting and listening to what I was looking for, they were not even trying. I am convinced they just set up dates with the next person who signed up every time. They asked me questions about my interests, etc but when on dates, I was told what was told about me was not at all the things I considered important... (Dates were only told every time that I enjoy hiking & camping & wine tastings when the reality is I rarely find the time to hike, haven't camped in 15 years & have been to 1 wine tasting ever.)

Thank you Sheri! You were very kind, patient and compassionate... You had a lot of good and common sense insight that I thank you for... I will try to incorporate all that we talked about on my next date!

Baton Rouge Experience: I joined IJL back in May of 2013 with the hopes that this service would be much better than the dating websites. I don't have a lot of time as I travel a lot with work. I went ahead and paid the very high rates for this service thinking I was going to get a dedicated person trying to match me up with the best possible match. Since I have signed up I have gone through six (6) "personal" match makers, have gone on only three dates, and basically never hear from anyone ever. All three dates that they sent me on were absolute train wrecks! I would have never matched myself up with anyone that this organization has and it appears they clearly aren't listening to me when I say what is most important to me with a match.

I have been doing It's Just Lunch for several months now and I found the dating coaching session to be very helpful & interesting. It is important to have a conversation about your dating habits and what you may or may not be consciously aware of that are habits/patterns that may be perceived differently than you intend them to be perceived. It was also good to get some general feedback on what others thought of me from our first date.

I joined IJL to meet more quality folks than I could find on my own. I have had 3 matches thus far and have been more then pleased with the results. There are some issues with timing and contact with directors that could be improved. But overall, I really like the process, I have met some really interesting people in nice places that I can now visit on my own as well. Good Job it is IJL on the matches and the locations for meetings!

First date my date was sick and notified the meeting place. The meeting place did not inform me upon arrival. Once able to meet the match it turned out not a bad match but not great one either.

I had an experience with IJL a few years ago, and although I was fortunate to go on several dates, the process was lacking. I didn't get a consistent person to manage my affairs and thus the feedback wasn't properly affecting future matches. I had a meeting with Kristen ** and she assured me this time would be different. She spent extra time in the screening process getting my needs addressed and the importance of how the 2nd time around would be better. At this point, although I haven't found Mrs. Right yet, the IJL experience has been greatly improved. I have had follow up with Kristen and not just a vanishing act after my payment was received.

So far, I've had my first date and the first match was quick. The restaurant choice was great. My director is responsive to feedback about potential future matches as well as to questions about the IJL process.

I have found Ayide, one of my client service individuals, to be conscientious and truly helpful during the matching process. She is a good example of type of service to expect from IJL.

To Its Just Lunch, I enjoyed my experience with your service however did not like the spacing of my dates. I had a date at the beginning of September and end of October and all of a sudden now have three in January. I was waiting for three months for these dates! I did make my feelings known during this time. It seemed to be done purposely though so I would like to think there was a method to your madness. I received a call one day before my birthday (12/3) and one day after, one day before Christmas and one day after and one day before New Years and one day after from random staff members for different reasons. I don't think it was a coincidence. It seemed like a control technique of some sort although I am unsure what was actually accomplished.

I have been assigned a new director Gloria. Totally different experience with her. She thus far (first date set up) has listened to what I am looking in a mate AND is able to communicate. She is fun to talk to and seems to care about people. This of course was not my experience with first director who missed many of my calls and e mails. When I asked for person that was into holistic health or cared about the environment I was given the reply of: "this is not a religious dating site".

I joined IJL about 6 months ago, have only been on three dates but it has not been a good experience. You pay $2700.00 but get nothing in return. Please read your contract very close because what you are told on the phone and what you really get from their service is very different. You are guaranteed 5 dates and you wait about 72 days in-between each date...if you do the math it works out to be $540.00 a date.

I have tried on-line dating and found it to be noisy and distracting - and not effective for me. It's Just Lunch has been a fun experience. I continue to be impressed with the staff's effort and enthusiasm. The quality of the women I have shared time with have exceeded my expectations. Even when the date lacks chemistry, I've enjoyed the time I've spent with genuinely good people.

I just finished my one year membership at a cost of $2,300. My last dating director (had three), Melisa, did not take the time to call me to let me know when/or if I was available for my last January scheduled date - she just sent an email that I never received (probably went to spam). When I explained the matter, she said "too bad" - that my one year membership was up and they had already provided 12 dates (most very unsatisfactory in terms of age, interests, and compatibility). IJL dating directors did not take the time to listen to my feedback after each date, and furthermore, the people in charge of setting these dates didn't have a clue, nor did they genuinely care if they were doing a good job. This has been an expensive waste of my money and time. I am extremely dissatisfied!!

Obed has been very good with making sure my introductions are matching who I am looking for. We communicate well together and I'm sure the perfect match is right around the corner.

I've been working with It's Just Lunch and Alexis for about 5 months. Alexis couldn't have been easier to work with. Her insight into reentering the dating seen was perfect and her patience with my schedule and finding times within my schedule was perfect. Even though I haven't found my match yet I think It's Just Lunch and Alexis have been something I would recommend to anyone.

Your staff that I deal with is exceptional. Melody does a wonderful job, is helpful, friendly, really good at what she does. The connections you come up with, the venues to meet, all good. Compliment you on your exceptional staff, namely Melody. Thank you.

I just finished my dating coaching session with Sheri and it was very helpful. I found her to be easy to talk to and the feedback she offered was a nice mix of positive and constructive. It definitely gave me some things to think about as I head into my next date.

My coaching session was very enlightening. We discussed my dating habits & goals and the do's & dont's of dating. We discussed the positives of making a good first impression. We discussed what topics would encourage conversation and create a positive experience.

My coach and I talked for an hour on a wide range of things, like what I'm looking for with IJL. We touched bases on my strength and weakness and gave me some ideas how to go forward on my next date. I brought up concerns and they were worked out to my satisfaction. It's good to spend the time and talk about what make you tick, and get that other point of view. It's worth the time. Happy dating!

I work 80 hrs a week and don't have time for online dating. They take the time to get to know you and find quality matches for you. No stress dating. The staff easy to talk to and work around your schedule. The place they send you are fun and always have parking. I end up getting 4 dates a month.
