It's Just Lunch Reviews

I found the dating coaching session to be what I expected: I was pretty sure where my negatives were, and now know what to work on. It was also good to hear positive feedback to reinforce that what I am doing, for the most part, works.

It's Just Lunch is different than the other dating services... In a good way! Who wants to get on a computer and answer a bunch of questions only to spend more time on the computer sifting through profiles? I spend enough time in front of the computer at work and would rather talk to somebody! And that is what IJL provides! You get your very own "dating director!" And that is what has made my experience thus far worth it! He makes sure I am happy and finds me what I am looking for! Sure you aren't going to have an amazing date every time but my director has picked quality and suitable matches that I have enjoyed every experience thus far! Thanks Jason!!!

I had a great conversation with Sheri **. We talked about my experience with IJL and how I was doing 1/2 way through the process. Her questions were spot on and made me think what I was doing right and wrong on my dates. I explained to her what I was doing on my dates and I thought performing well. Sheri made me realize some of my faults on dates. l will take her advice and run with it. I'm hoping I can meet the girl of my dreams in the next 6 months of dating. With the advice from Sheri I'm hoping it will happen.

I think your service has been outstanding. It's nice to have a company that takes so much pride in their business. I'm very happy with It's Just Lunch. I have been telling a lot of people about your service. Thanks for all your help.

The person who is your main contact seems to make the difference on the experience being a positive or negative experience. My second counselor, Nika, makes the difference on this being of value. Prior to her, my first counselor contact left something to be desired. The commitment of at least 10 dates has been exceeded within 6 months of the 12-month criteria.

Do not join this service! It is a waste of money and a lot of it. I paid over $2500 and went on ONLY one date. They are pretty quick to charge your credit card, but once you make a complaint, there is no way that you are going to get any money back. After my first "wonderful" first date (not a good match), I was supposed to meet with a representative from the company who was going to help me find the "ultimate" experience on my next date. I was stood up at the place where I was supposed to meet this representative. I called the number for the local Boston office, and there was no answer. I left several messages, no answer. I called and called. I sent e-mails. Nobody got back to me that night.

IJL has been a great, safe way to break back into dating. The commitment and expectations are clear. The process works great for those with busy professional lives.

I think it's a nice dating site. I've just started and have had only 1 date. But so far it appears to attract credible people. I think Lisa is always very pleasant and professional.

IJL has afforded me the opportunity to have a great many introductions to many woman. Unfortunately, I am quite particular, and have yet to find my perfect lifelong partner. However, even with my particular desires, the staff at IJL has been incredibly supportive, attentive and patient with me - continuing to provide me with quality introductions. I appreciate the staffs' personal interest in assisting me in finding my perfect mate.

I really enjoyed my dating coaching session with Sheri. She was friendly and made me feel comfortable. We were able to establish some dating goals for me which will hopefully help me be more successful!

Sheri had good information available for me. She did provide me the necessary steps to better my dating experience. She will work with my dating director to hopefully find a good match. Up until this point the success rate is low due to the number of dating directors I have had. I'll be interested to see what the next few months will bring.

Well "ILJ" did it! I have a new best friend and companion.... So wonderful, exciting...... I feel like I won the perfect match. Mission accomplished. "It's Just Lunch" got the prince and princess together. Fantastic arrangement..... Thank you so very much.

I feel that Sheri was extremely interested in finding what had worked and what hadn't to this point with IJL. She listened and really was helpful. I feel that she understood my frustration and has a clear picture of what I'm looking for moving forward. I look forward to my next date. Thanks.

Good news, Singles in Las Vegas. We have the quality that they used to have in IJL. Selina is here. She is a personal Dating Coordinator, definitely the best, understanding, helpful. She knows what you're looking for and sets up the best dates based on what you're looking in a relationship. She is fantastic. I have the most fun, thanks to her. It's like having your best friend that wants the best for you. I really recommend the service now that Josh is gone. She is here in Vegas and will help you find your soulmate. Thank you, Selina.

Joining Its Just Lunch was a very memorable and exciting journey. I was a member on and off for two years and found the experience to be interesting, fun and enlightening. I loved the staff and really learned the need to build a relationship with them in order to help them help me find the right match. It was an ongoing experience which required patience. As I started the journey, it was very comforting to know that there are so many other great people out there of my generation looking for their "encore relationship". I met many interesting men, had several laughs (and stories to tell) and was able to experience new dining experiences through the Denver area. My patience and persistence paid off as I met my partner and best friend Dave at a time when I was thinking of taking a break from dating. He is the perfect match for me and my life has changed completely since we have met. I never thought I would find someone so compatible, understanding, kind and loving but I did. Thank you, IJL, for all the time and energy given to my search. I owe you a huge gratitude.

I would like to compliment Debbie of IJL of South Florida. I have been impressed by the caliber of ladies who I have met through IJL. I have been pleased that attention has been paid to my interests and finding dates which align well. I have met some very nice people through IJL and would recommend it to working professionals who are interested in a service that finds quality people and arranges everything.

My IJL matching director does an excellent job of attempting to match me with the right guy. There are always challenges that come up with every date, which are reviewed to better the next date. My experience has been about 50/50 with good versus bad dates. He likes to talk a lot and is working on listening better. Any time I provide Jason with feedback or suggestions on the next match, he listens and follows through. I am able to be very upfront about my dates and expectations. The biggest challenge isn't with IJL, it's with the individuals being matched as they haven't been as upfront as I feel they should be.

Tia has been very helpful in my dating search she listens to my feedback. As well as acts on it not just basing her matches on a whim she's taking into account what I'm looking for and need.

I really enjoyed my coaching session with Sheri. I didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a great experience! I will be more conscious of certain dating patterns that we discussed. It was also nice to know that my efforts to make a good first impression have often been well received.

Willing to work with me; hopefully offers as good a description to accurately describe me and my interests. I continue to work with Lisa describing myself in a way that hopefully will develop into even better matches than the wonderful ladies I have met so far.

I have been working with IJL for about a year. It was off to a rough start, but after I received Obed as my dating coordinator and he got to know me a bit more, the matches have been pretty good. I am meeting professional men and am very comfortable meeting them and getting to know them. Obed is a joy to work with.

My experience with It's Just Lunch got off to a rocky start. Like some reviewers mentioned, they were very communicative when they were trying to get me to join. Once I joined; however, it was a different story. My first dating director left me in limbo for quite a while. Then once he did start sending me out with people, it seemed he just fixed me up with people based on my height and hair color preference - not someone with whom I had things in common. He also would not return my phone calls/emails. I got to the point where I was demanding a refund. Then things started to change... Jason took over as my dating director (my previous one I was told was let go due to bad performance). Jason actually listens to me and has fixed me up with some decent guys who have similar interests. My experience with Jason has been what I expected when I signed up for It's Just Lunch. I wish I had not had the bad beginning, but it is going well now.

I joined Its Just Lunch Denver a couple of months ago. Since then I have been introduced to some great people. I really like this service and the company has done a great job of matching me up and scheduling dates. I would highly recommend this service as IJL takes the time to screen applicants and provide potential matches. Danielle has been great to work with and has a very positive and enthusiastic attitude. For a busy professional like myself, it eliminates the time required to browse through hundreds of profiles over "on-line" dating sites. IJL also has a strong membership base of quality people.

On my 60th birthday, I made the decision that I wanted a partner to share my life - or at least a few fun dates! I was not comfortable with online dating, but I knew of It's Just Lunch from the in-flight magazines I had seen while traveling for business. It seemed like it would be a logical way to meet someone with similar interests and a business background. I was very nervous at my first meeting with the consultant but felt she took the time to get to know me. I met several high-quality men over the next few months, with a few follow-up dates, but the consultant kept saying, "You have to meet Dean!". And finally I did. Even though he is a civil engineer and I am an artist/writer, we meshed immediately into a three-hour first date! Now we have been together for seven years and will celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary in November! We always recommend It's Just Lunch and love to tell our romantic story to anyone who will listen!

I was interested in meeting someone, but I was at a point in my life where I'm working a lot, playing golf and not much else. I finally realized that I needed to be more proactive to put myself in a position to meet people. That is when I joined IJL. From day one I started to meet people and ultimately I met Mollie. I was very interested in her immediately and wanted to continue to get to know her. We fell in love and have been together since we met. We have been married for almost 4 years and IJL made it all possible!

I'm happy that I stepped outside my comfort zone and joined It's Just Lunch. I don't do internet dating so this was a big deal for me. On all the dates I was myself and comfortable in my own skin. I am dissatisfied that none of the dates led to a second date because I felt no physical attraction and/or chemistry with any of my dates.

I joined It's Just Lunch on May this year, I got 4 dates so far. I think they are doing good job, at least they are trying to make their clients happy. Tonia who is the dating director from Calgary is very professional, she is very understanding and helpful. I hope everybody like me has a good experience with them.

Overall, I felt IJL to be a good service. After some initial tweaking, the people I was matched with fit well with my requests. The facilitators were prompt and polite and, I sensed, did their best to make appropriate matches and find convenient times and locations for the meetings. I certainly would recommend the service to others.

I must say my initial experience with IJL was not a good one. I had multiple Dating Directors within just the first few weeks and none of them were good to work with. Since then Christine was assigned to my market and she has been absolutely wonderful! She takes time with me and really listens to what I am looking for. I trust her and really appreciate all she does. She is the best!

So with IJL being that it was new for me to try was interesting but with dating and especially here in NYC it's all about patience. Needless to say my first two dates were flops but the third I felt was a charm. The staff at IJL are very friendly and accommodating to help find that match for you and I personally like it better the those stupid websites. So if you’re looking for that special someone have a little patience and give IJL a shot and enjoy.

I paid $2500 to It's Just Lunch, was promised dates with professional men, and never once had a bona fide date. While they were very responsive before I paid my fee, once they had my money my calls were not returned. They did make two attempts at setting me up on dates; the first date decided to put his membership on hold, the second date did not show up at the designated restaurant. I have made repeated calls to try to get a refund of my money but to no avail. It was a very expensive lesson, but I should have googled "It's Just Lunch complaints" and I would have seen all the other single people who have been ripped off by this very unscrupulous company.

I really enjoy talking with Nika. She is very helpful and has done a great job. Even though at this time I haven't found my match, the dates have been getting better.

I joined It's Just Lunch a few months back and let me tell you, it has not always been great, sometimes not even good. I've met a few women I didn't want to meet. I had a few dates which just seemed like a waste of my time. Things just haven't always gone the way I want them to. So why am I writing this review? Well, I stayed confident in the process and in my dating director George and recently my experience has improved date by date.

I was happy with the meeting. I was matched with someone of my criteria. I hope the next meeting is the same experience. This was my first meeting.

I'm very pleased with the personalized and supportive coaching and feedback I received in my 1:1 session today with Sheri. The feedback was cushioned with encouragement and delivered in a respectful fashion. I look forward to my future matches and considering what impression I am making on a first date. This higher level of awareness is very helpful!

My time on IJL has been nothing short of fantastic thus far! The team at IJL is professional, very positive and sincerely cares that you get the most from your matchmaking experience. I admit; at first I was a little skeptical. I mean, "What can IJL do that I haven't already tried myself?" However, at some point deep down you just know that there has to be something better out there for you. Traditional ways of meeting people and the generic internet dating scene were just not cutting it. IJL was a refreshing surprise, but what I didn't realize was that I not only met some great people, but I also learned some things about myself and what I was really looking for in a relationship. Thanks, IJL!

I was not matched on any compatible dates. I went in nine awful dates and none of the men were even close to being a good fit. My date director, Scott, was an ** to me. Che set me up with a foreigner Albanian when I asked for a white American man. Then I was given Nika, who did the same thing and never returns calls or emails. I feel like I've been screwed out of $2200, and if the company was even concerned about how crappy I was treated, I should be refunded my money. But every person I've been in touch with doesn't give a damn that I was ripped off.

For those of you terrified of online dating, such as myself.... It's Just Lunch is a great option! I have had a great experience with IJL. One of my dates was the brother of an old roommate that lived with me 26 years ago. We discovered this through the evening. It's a small world. I needed help making the world connect. I encourage you to give it a try! Thanks to Jason!

I have so far enjoyed my IJL experience. I was extremely tired of online dating and I wanted to try something different. I just can't come home after work and spend MORE TIME EMAILING! I think so much of compatibility depends on how two people interact and IJL let's you skip right to meeting someone face to face. They really make an effort to get to know you and try to find the best match they have for you among the people willing to pay the high fees for this service. I have been on lots of dates since starting the service a few months ago and a couple of really great dates. I would never have met any of these people without going through IJL.

The previous last one guy that I met is very fun, open, with similar goals in life. I'd like to see him again and be friends. Thank you.

Lisa, thanks for a great match - I really enjoyed my date on July 24! Thank you for your hard work! I appreciate your personal attention and sincere interest in me! Thanks.

Close your eyes for a minute and picture in your mind your ideal partner. I'm sure physical appearance hits you first, but keep thinking. What else would make up your perfect mate? Are they funny and social, adventurous and silly? Are they a good cook, family oriented and career driven? Do they like to dance or go to the theatre? Or maybe they enjoy reading and sitting by a campfire.

Daniel was a nice guy, but hopelessly disorganized and clearly over his head. He arranged multiple dates with women who lived 2-3 hours from me. He arranged dates with women who were not even close to the characteristics that I specified. All the dates were similarly dissatisfied with Daniel's performance. Debbie was somewhat better, but I only worked with her for a short period of time. I like Evita, but I suspect she has her work cut out for her in performing damage control from the havoc wreaked by her predecessors. It will take considerable effort for It's Just Lunch to improve on its reputation in this area.

I signed up the service at the end of April this year. I had a lot of expectations about the service. However, I was quite disappointed with the service the first few month. My emails/calls were never answered until I had to make many attempts. Recently, I got a new dating director, Evita. Since then, I have been very happy about the service. She is very efficient and productive. She answers my email right away. Within two weeks, she already set up three dates for me. She listens to my requests and I have enjoyed the date she arranged. With her being my dating director, I feel hopeful about meeting the right man!

Run! Do not join this service! It is a waste of money. I was scheduled for several different dates. I paid over $1000 and never went on one date. I was canceled on 3 different times. There was no follow up with the company until I asked for a refund of my money. On one instance a date was scheduled. I showed up and the restaurant was closed. The company makes their reservations for the dates through OpenTable. I tried making a reservation for the restaurant through OpenTable and could not make one for that restaurant. I do not believe they ever made a reservation at that location.

Had the most wonderful date with a most pleasant, intelligent, fun woman and we are seeing each other again soon. The match was well done and we are very compatible. Well done It's Just Lunch.

It's Just Lunch has done an excellent job matching me up with great people. I'm always excited to see who they find for me. Without It's Just Lunch I would not have had the chance to meet the people they have introduced to me. To make things even better, it is a pleasure to work with the staff at It's Just Lunch of Milwaukee.

My experience with It’s Just Lunch changed my life in a way I could never imagine. Only I.J.L. gave me the opportunity to meet the person I will spend the rest of my life with. I would never have met my wife without it. The staff were very friendly and professional and really knew how to bring people together who are compatible in many ways. I don't think my life would be as complete and satisfying if I had not met my wife, Thuy. It's Just Lunch made that possible. I will and have recommended the service to anyone who truly wants to find their true soul mate.

I'm happy to say that my initial response and feelings about this company were incorrect. I happen to join right when my "dating coach" was out for minor surgery and there was some miscommunication. I've read a lot of reviews from some very happy people and I plan to be posting here again very soon. So to It's Just Lunch ~ let's work together. I apologize for my impulsive reaction!

After trying other online services like Match.com, I would recommend IJL to others. It is expensive but the quality of people is so much better. I like not having an online profile and I have enjoyed the dates that IJL has sent me on. You get what you pay for!!

It has been an absolute pleasure getting the opportunity to meet people that I know I would not have the chance to get to know outside of It's Just Lunch.

It was nice to get some feedback about the dates I'd been on. I would have liked a couple of words after each date. Just general feedback. Sheri was very nice and friendly. She gave me some good advice to use in future dates.

At fist my experience was terrible. No one would ever call me back. I had to chase them to get a response. My first date was also terrible. If you could have picked my exact opposite of me he would have been an exact match. The date lasted less than 30 minutes. I am pretty sure the guy felt the same way. I was totally turned off by the experience. Once Jason took over it has been a much better experience. I will talk to him at least one a week even if he does not have a match for me. At least I know that he is still looking for me and did not forget about me. The dates keep getting better and better.

I have enjoyed the meetings set up by IJL and have met some wonderful people. The restaurants chosen are very good and I have taken note of some of them for places to eat in the future. Descriptions are accurate, and I like the IJL format and security of information.

Meeting people through IJL is fun and easy. They do all the work, and you just have to show up! It worked for me because I am super busy being a mom, running a business, and taking care of my ranch.

Speaking to Sheri was very helpful in my dating. She pointed some areas that I was unaware of and things that I was doing that while on the outside (to me) seemed fine when in reality were doing more harm than good. Sometimes you need someone to point out the obvious that we can't see ourselves. It's very hard to see a building you're standing inside of and having a person tell you what you might be doing (while it may not be wrong or right) is good to hear. Very well done Sheri. Thank you.

This has been an easy way to meet new people. Lisa has been particularly helpful in working with my busy schedule. I don't get to answer my phone often during the work day - and we've found a way to make many arrangements via email that helps tremendously with my schedule. I'm also trying some new restaurants in my area that I may not have considered before. I would definitely recommend IJL to my single friends.

First date went well. Good match and nice venue. And the communication between myself and It's Just Lunch has been ongoing and interactive. They have been receptive to my feedback.

Lisa did a great job in matching me up on a date with Cheyenne. We were very compatible. I just hope I get to meet with Cheyenne again.

It was nice to get some feedback and reinforce that what I was doing was the right approach. Sometimes when the dates are not going how you would like them, it really isn't because of you. :) Sheri provided a positive experience!

We want to thank It's Just Lunch. We were willing to make an investment in finding the right person and we have been in a relationship now for over four years. Both of us had tried many other avenues such as single groups, online and phone dating. It's Just Lunch is wonderful because they do all the preliminary work for you. You just show up in a public place and have lunch with a person already vetted by It's Just Lunch. You don't have to share any personal information unless it is your choice. It's better than being set up by your friends because if it doesn't work out, you don't have to let your friend know why. Wayne was my 7th date and I was his 12th. With our busy lives, we would have never met any other way. Thanks again for the service you provide.

I am very pleased with the personal service the new dating director, Provi, has provided me. I feel she is dedicated and works hard in providing me with excellent matches.

Great first impression. Great first date. Would love more feedback about first date to see if there are things I should or shouldn't be doing. But overall feel good and hopeful about this journey.

Still new to IJL but so far I'm happy. It is a good way to meet people when you have a busy schedule. I have enjoyed talking with the dating consultants and they have been helpful.

I became a IJL member in January 2013. I've been on three dates in the last seven months. IJL is just one of many tools I use to meet people and I have met very high quality men through this program. No one -- even experienced dating coordinators -- know who will have chemistry and when it will strike. All they can do is introduce good people with shared interests and that's definitely what I have received through this service.

Dating is a numbers game. My experience with IJL has been wonderful. Starting with the first meeting outlining what you're looking for in a partner, setting up dates, to the updates after each date. Most importantly, they set you me up with quality women that want to enjoy and experience life as I do. Two thumbs up to a great dating service.

I've enjoyed working with Nika, however nothing has worked out yet. I think she is trying hard, however I am still disappointed with the results so far.

The feedback I received from my personal was extremely helpful. Sherry could see things that I was doing that I couldn't realize myself. She also was very good at reinforcing the things that she thought I was doing well. I first was skeptical but I must say it was well worth my time invested.

It was a genuine pleasure speaking with Sheri. She was the best listener and seemed to care the most about IJL and the service she is providing me, as a person. As you may see in my records, I have had many heated discussions about the horrible service by IJL in the past. After this discussion, I do not know for sure if my future dates will be great, but I do know that Sheri is a very nice girl and she genuinely listens and tries without ANY sign of haughtiness or arrogance the others have blatantly shown to my face in the past. I am surprised she was not sent to talk to me earlier. You better replace the current staff with more like her. Then again, your turnover has been so frequent maybe that won't even matter.

This was a very enjoyable and pleasant way to meet people without the hassle of the bar scene. Matches got better as they got to know you. Great venues to meet up. Will suggest this to friends and family as a positive alternative to online dating.

It's Just Lunch set me up with an amazing man on just my second date! We have really enjoyed our time together and are thankful to IJL for setting us up! Thanks!

I have been with It's Just Lunch one month. The It's Just Lunch staff has been outstanding in trying to find a match. I cannot believe in one month it happened. You all ROCK! Thanks for your efforts.

My dating director for the last 6 weeks, Lisa **, is doing a much, much, much better job than the previous dating director. It's night and day difference. She is trying to make good matches and she cares. She is doing a great job. Thank you.

Since Nika has become the director, I have seen a dramatic change for better. She acts professionally and enthusiastically in her job and puts a lot of hard work into her work to satisfy the customer and this is completely different than what I experienced during first few months with different, who never cared about customer.

First Date with Thomas - First, the restaurant was not opened. It did not interfere in the overall date. His energy was good but the connection for me was not there. A little too self-absorbed.

The dates have been fun. The problem has been communications with my dating director. Emails regarding date details have not come through. The dating director has consulted with IJL IT department and I have created a new email account. Apparently, I missed at least two dates by not knowing I had a date at all. I would appreciate if we can solve that problem. Phone call confirmations should help while they fix the email. I would appreciate more phone calls.

I have been very happy with my experience with IJL. I went on 3 dates. They were all very nice, interesting, fun and overall great fit for me based on the information that they had to match. On my 3rd date, I met a wonderful woman and we just clicked. Have been dating for 3 weeks now and I am very happy and expect that it will move to something serious (which is what I was looking for). Thank you so much for all that you did...

Although my recent experience has begun with only one match, the match appears to be very close to characteristics of interest to me. I look forward to more opportunities to meet women who exhibit good, honest, wholesome traits and who are truly in pursuit of sharing quality time together.

I joined IJL almost a year ago as I re-entered the dating scene for the first time in 20 years. Pros: IJL does all the work for you in setting up dates, which is great. You are provided with basic info about your date before you meet. If the date doesn't work for you, there is no information exchange and you can move on without any complications. Finally IJL takes your feedback and applies this to future dates. Cons: IJL controls the frequency of your next date - could be a few days or a few months. Due to the cost of joining, I believe that the pool of "perfect match" on paper candidates is small, so IJL tries to balance your profile with their pool - which is not always successful. Summary: IJL provides a great hassle free way to date for busy people who could use help in finding a quality dating match. I would say that half of my matches were "in the ballpark" (and half weren't!), and 10% hit the target. Still trying to hit the bull's eye, but that part is mostly on me (or on you). I do recommend the service.

Sheri did a nice job on my dating coach session. It was a nice personal touch after 6 months of dates. I still haven't met someone special but have enjoyed the IJL experience.

After 6 months with IJL, my dating coaching session was just what I needed, when I needed to hear it. My coach gave me targeted feedback and new ideas that helped me feel positive about the upcoming dates. The session is an invaluable part of the IJL experience! My coach was supportive, nice and very helpful!

This program was really enjoyable! The people involved were all high quality individuals. Lisa, the coordinator, was extremely professional and great to work with. It was excellent in every way and I would certainly recommend this to the professional person.

I became a member of IJL knowing I was ready to settle down and find that special someone. But like many other busy professionals, I didn't have the time it took to find a date. That's where IJL came in. They set me up on some introductions and after meeting a handful of successful gentlemen, I was introduced with the man I am currently dating. IJL listened to my wants in a significant other and found the perfect man for me. We have common interests and strive to be better people for each other and those around us. I have learned so much in the short time we've been dating and can't wait to see what the future has in store for us!

Nika is a good dating coordinator. No issues with the service.

Jenn has been very helpful in trying to find quality matches for me. They take the time to try and understand me as a person and the qualities that I am looking for in a woman. Although not all the dates have been great, it is a numbers game. There have been a number of Women that I have met that I have enjoyed getting to know! Getting a description of the person from Jenn has been very helpful when going into a date. I am more satisfied meeting someone in person and getting to know them in a casual setting. The restaurants I have attended have been very gracious, which puts you at ease. I just try and keep an open mind and have fun with it!

It was great talking with Sheri ** to talk over Dating and just how I come a cross to my Dates. I also received some great pointers.

After my wife passed away, I found out that she had signed me up for It's Just Lunch. My experience so far has been terrific. The women have been smart, funny, and interesting to be around. The venues my dating coordinator has chosen for our dates have been conversation-friendly with discreet, supportive staff members. I can't complain about a single aspect of my dating experiences.

Janelle and Elizabeth are both very kind. My last and most recent date of Debbie was perfect. Thanks for everything you do. I have enjoyed my experience with It's Just Lunch.

I am very happy I joined It’s Just Lunch. I was concerned in the beginning because the first couple girls were not at all what I was looking for. However, Lisa really listened to my feedback and adjusted for future dates! Now, I am dating someone for 3 months from the service and I think there is real potential with the relationship. My confidence has also improved tremendously since I joined the service! Thanks for all your help.

I just wanted to give you a quick update on what's been going on with me and Craig **. :) To cut to the chase, Craig and I became engaged on May 11th in Estes Park! It was a magical day! It's pretty incredible how my life has changed since I met Craig, and I just wanted to thank you and your staff so much for changing my life.

As a busy professional, I never had the time to date online or spend nights at the bar. I contacted IJL and within days they had me set up on dates with amazing women in my area. IJL does all the work for you. I simply told them my interests and they matched me with compatible women. The staff at IJL are friendly, professional, and guided me through the process. I highly recommend IJL to anyone.

Bottom line, you should know that the people at IJL who worked with me did more for me than any online dating compatibility assessment (even those based on 1 million distinct personality indicators) could ever do. They correctly determined during my interview that despite my having an unconventional "beat of love" that is difficult to translate in a 1-page profile (how anyone can accurately portray themselves in a single page, is beyond me), the real me has some decent dating potential; not to mention marriage potential, as the tale continues to reveal.

I had a good time meeting these men. I will give credit to the dating coach for her efforts in finding an appropriate match for me. They were interesting to talk to & seemed to have a lot to offer. On paper, they were what I looked for, for the most part. However, due to geographic restrictions or lack of chemistry, I knew this would not work. I didn't want to waste my time or theirs. I did think it was strange how one of them offered me his number, but did not ask for mine. Then when I did call him, he did not call back. Hmm...

I was promised that there were many eligible women of my type in my area. Truth is, I have yet to be on a date that matches anything that I am attracted to. And some of the problems these women carry are unbelievable, from alcoholics to widows of child pornographers. It has been a very dissatisfying experience for the amount of money I paid to have someone screen women and make matches for me.

This company is running a scam. I just joined IJL and was told they had hundreds of nice caliber eligible gentlemen who were actively seeking a healthy relationship. IJL's line is because it is a fee-based membership, they are able to weed out the scam artists and married men that are encountered with online dating websites. Well, my first experience with IJL was awful. My high caliber date never showed up. I waited for 30 minutes, and then another 30 minutes as I waited for my take-out order. I have NEVER been stood-up when scheduling a date until I joined IJL.

I'm a busy guy and it's tough to find time to meet women. I'm no longer a member, but it was simple working with George. He set me up on fun dates with cool women who were right up my alley. It was a good time and the process was really easy. It was definitely something I'd tell my friends to do. Simple and easy. Let them do all the work. Haha.

I just completed my dating coaching session with Sheri. I found it to be an informative experience and it allowed me more time to communicate my experiences with IJL. I am optimistic that the session was of help both to me as far as dating feedback and to IJL in terms of making future matches more compatible with me.

I found my session with my dating coach to be very helpful. It was nice to speak with someone that can help better understand your needs and help answer the questions you have been wondering about. It was great to hear feedback about yourself as a dater from what you share and what your dates said about you. My coach gave me additional pointers and reassured which things I am doing correctly. My coach was very personable and I felt comfortable opening up and sharing the truth in order to make my journey more successful.

This service is great. In the short time I have been in this service, I have met great quality women. Daniel really knows what he is doing and really listens to me. I don't regret this and am going to start recommending this service. There is a certain type of professional woman that I want and have met them!

IJL makes it much easier to meet some great people at good places around town. It's low pressure and everyone I have met were really easy to enjoy the evening with. Most recently, I have met someone great who I have been seeing for a while.

I think the coaching session was great. Sheri really helped to understand the first impression I was giving and recommended ways to try and move things forward even more so!

My first match was superb. The IJL staff did an excellent job in putting us together. I've gone onto 'hold' without a second date, and I feel as if another date will not be needed. I'd definitely recommend IJL to anyone who is serious about finding a partner.

Nice restaurant with a varied menu and ambiance. My date was kind and a gentleman. I found him interesting and easy to talk to. I definitely would like to get to know him better. For me, it was a good match.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or if my lack of getting a second date is driven by high expectations from the ladies I'm being set up with. I feel as though every date has gone very well and numbers have been exchanged, but nothing beyond that. It's rather frustrating that I'm not getting feedback as to what I'm doing right or wrong so I can make adjustments.

Over time I've gotten to know Christine. She is very easy to work with and she has a great personality for her position with IJL. I've enjoyed my conversations with her and she has wonderful insight about people. Together we've discussed several initiatives that might be helpful to the company moving forward with its clients.

Needless to say, Megan was not my first date, but she was well worth the wait! There was something special about Megan that drew me to her and her to me. Some may say that they want IJL to find THE ONE right away, but I believe that I learned exactly what I needed and wanted with time. IJL patiently worked with me to help me with this process. I am forever grateful for that first lunch together filled with laughter, wine and the warmful promise of seeing each other tomorrow!

I've had a great experience with It's Just Lunch in St. Louis and with the wonderful dating director, Jason! He's awesome and really listens to what I'm looking for in a guy. The dates are educated, professional and good looking! I'm so glad I joined IJL and I'm so glad Jason is my dating director. Thanks, IJL, for a great experience so far!

Having a dating counseling session is a genius part of the process. We covered tons of great tips and the important must-dos of dating. The counselor was easy to speak with and had a great sense of humor, which was a huge plus.

My experience has been decent. I met some nice ladies, just none of which are what I'm looking for. Jason is a terrific Dating Coordinator and great at his job. Jason has been the upside to my experience with IJL. I'm still hoping for that dream match to come my way.

I really enjoyed my date through IJL. We had similar interests and had an immediate connection. I have used other services and I can say, without reservation, that IJL does the best job of actually "matching" you with a person versus just setting you up with whoever. I would highly recommend this service.

This service isn't quite what I expected. The company has changed hands a few times and it seems like some of the match information got lost in the shuffle. They appear to have difficulty matching people with similar personalities and tastes. However, I still like having dinner in restaurants I wouldn't normally go to and I've met some interesting and nice men, even though I never hit it off with anyone.

I had a good experience with this program. I have met many professional women that are looking for genuine relationship. I am glad that I have given this program a chance.

I've been with It's Just Lunch since January. So far the dates have been enjoyable. The one important thing I did learn is not to go into a first meeting with great expectations, because then you don't go through a letdown wondering if there's something wrong with you. I would recommend It's Just Lunch because the work is done for you and you don't have to spend time online picking someone out.

My dating advisor did a good job of getting to the root of what I'm looking for and has set up dates that are spot on matches. I'm definitely meeting a higher class of women than I was able to with online dating and the bar scene. Dates are arranged promptly and in a highly organized manner. Overall, this has been a very positive experience so far and definitely worth the somewhat sizable expense.

I am very pleased with the It's Just Lunch dating service, and in particular, with my director, Ms. Christine **. Though this review is for Christine, I will have to talk a bit about my own personal journey to give it a context. Christine has not only worked hard to find matches that make sense for me, but has acted in many ways as a dating coach along the way. In the process, I have learned to appreciate her very much.

My current dating coordinator is quite attentive and has sent me on very high quality dates. It is a matter of communication between the dating coordinator and the IJL client. Once we are on the same page, good things start happening.

I felt it was very helpful. I enjoyed the feedback. Sheri was very positive and encouraging. She was to the point. Overall, she was great to talk to. I loved our conversation. Thank you very much.

Met my fiance on my Second Match. IJL was spot on what I was looking for. I actually told David (my fiance) that I was going to marry him within two weeks of dating. David and I are both busy professionals who are divorced with kids. IJL listened to every need, want and expectation I was looking for, being a divorced single mom. We are crazy in love and busy planning our wedding later this year - September 27th at the Sanctuary! I owe you BIG time, IJL!!!!

Sherri offered great, practical and constructive feedback, reminders and ideas about first dates and beyond. Looking forward to implementing the suggestions on my next date. Thanks IJL!

So far, my experience with It's Just Lunch has been great. My Dating Director Jason has been matching me with quality people. Jason is easy to talk with and listens to my feedback.

I have enjoyed being set up on dates and meeting some of the members. It is nice not having to worry about reservations and choosing a place to eat.

So far, I have been out on 3 first dates and have enjoyed each of them. All three women were most enjoyable to meet and talk to. It was fun to meet women that were very compatible to me. Also, all three restaurants were excellent. I look forward to many more first dates.

Well let's just say that I had so much anxiety and even buyer's remorse after purchasing the membership. But that was all put to rest when I spoke to their staff. Everyone that I have come in contact with seems to genuinely care about me finding the man of my dreams. I can only hope that the people I am set up with are as serious about love as I am. The staff there listens to me. The gentleman handling my account is very calming and assuaged any fears and anxieties I had. I hope he does as good a job matching me!

I don't go on many dates, but the ones I go on are of a high caliber of quality. I am an artist and love that I can be free and expressive with my contact person, and they listen to me. I met a nice man last time and while nothing romantic came of it, we are great friends until this very day. We encourage each other and even if my romantic life doesn't bloom, I gained a great friend. You can't lose with that.

This is my second time with this service and I can tell that time changes things. I didn't have much luck the first time around, but this time I have already met a terrific gal. It's easy to be working with a guy when you're a guy yourself because then that way you know that a guy knows what a guy wants.

I recently joined It's Just Lunch because I live in a town that is primarily a college town. I am young at heart, but need to find a quality individual who is mature-minded. I joined this service because they advertise to be the dating experts! I can tell you that I am extremely hopeful because so far the process has been superb! I have a person who I feel I can trust with what I am looking for. He took the time to listen to me and has made every effort to accommodate me. I am eager to go on this adventure!

IJL might be successful in large cities; however, I question the number of qualified members in the Boise area. During the one-year period, I was matched with five men. I did not have anything in common with any of them. One of them spent the entire hour telling me how belonging to IJL was a bad experience and had nothing positive to say. Two of the matches were too short, which was uncomfortable for both us, as I am 5'10". One was still too emotionally tied to his ex-wife. I got the feeling/idea that four of them were still lost in their past lives and not really ready to move on with their life. These were 60 yr old men in denial that they were 60! Needless to say, I did not have a positive experience with IJL. It was a very expensive and negative experience for me. I would not recommend IJL.

I've been working with IJL on and off for 5 years now. I find them to be professional, friendly and extremely helpful in introducing me to interesting people. In particular, Danielle is fun to work with - competent, articulate and most importantly knows what it takes to meet my needs as a very busy professional. I would and have recommended them to friends.

Christine **, who is my dating adviser, is doing an excellent job. She is quite personable, charming and listens well. She tries to accommodate me in any way possible and is responsive to my needs. The women I am meeting are well-educated, well-dressed and high class. However, I am disappointed that I have not met any one with whom there is any chemistry. I know you have no control as to how two people will feel about each other.

Daniel is the utmost professional! He did a fantastic job in finding out about me as a person, and what qualities I am looking for in someone. He communicated very well with me, and his follow-up and concern about how things went was superb!

Troy and I (Rebecca) were set up 6 years ago by IJL. It was my 5th date and his 4th. We met at Blue Mesa in Southlake for drinks which turned into dinner and so much more! The connection and chemistry was apparent from the get go. Troy is a loan officer in Fort Worth, and I am a pharmacy director in Denton. At the time we met, Troy was 37 and I was 34. We were both busy professionals who had been married before. Denton is not the best town for a single thirty something and I was not interested in internet dating. I saw an ad for IJL in the American Way Magazine during a business trip and thought that this was something I could do. Troy and I dated for 3 years before we were engaged. We were married on February 25, 2011. We welcomed a son on May 13, 2012. We are so happy and owe it all to IJL. What a great experience.

My dating coordinator, Patty, took the time to listen to my desires and set me up with some very nice women. She was professional and effective. As a result, I am now in a continuing relationship with one of the women she introduced me to.

I believe they try to take time to get to know their clients. They do a wonderful job of the scheduling, both in terms of quickly finding mutually acceptable times to meet and picking good meeting places. Obviously, their ability to improve the level of match is dependent upon the feedback they receive. I'm not always sure I'm providing what they need with respect to this. They also try to provide advice to improve your dating image - are you coming across as nervous, not communicating, etc. While I am still looking, I am happy that IJL has provided a quality service for me.

I have been a member of It's Just Lunch on and off for several years. My experience has been nothing but positive. The customer service has been wonderful and the matches I have met have been entertaining and fun. It's Just Lunch provides an opportunity for me to meet men in a safe environment and I get to enjoy eating at a restaurant that I might not have been to before. Thank you for the positive experiences!

$2200 to It's Just Lunch is the singular, worst financial decision I have made. I would like to get my money back. I have completed 10 lackluster dates in a one-year span with It's Just Lunch. Some dates were a disaster, others were mismatches, a few decent with no chemistry, and the rest are fodder for a dating comedy book I need to write someday. My chief complaints and reasons why you should reconsider signing up for It's Just Lunch:

I wanted to say thank you to Patty. She really did arrange the perfect match by introducing Geoff **. Geoff and I have a lot in common and we get along really good. We went hiking, shopping and even prepared meals together. He is really charming, caring, thoughtful and sincere. It's still less than 3 months of dating and we have made plans for a July long weekend - very exciting. Thanks again, Patty. :)

I have had 9 dinner/drink introductions since joining IJL out of the Cleveland Office about six weeks ago. It's a perfect arrangement for me and my overly-passive personality in this area. All the women I've met have been of quality, with much to offer, and I have met two women already with whom I feel the potential of a connection. 'Grace' (Counselor) was very helpful upfront, and Coordinators Janelle and Elizabeth the same since. I've happened to spend more time working with Janelle, and she has been nothing but a joy and source of guidance and encouragement to me in this still-somewhat unfamiliar endeavor. I am very pleased to have tried IJL, and look forward to continued positive experiences and opportunities.

The IJL Rep (Obed) was very good and did his best to match me up with my dates. The restaurants chosen were very nice. He always responded promptly with any questions or concerns I had. I would recommend IJL to anybody interested in the dating scene.

I had a wonderful time with a great guy! We had many interests and life experiences in common. Although all the gentlemen I have met through IJL have been nice guys, this connection was the best! Thanks, Lisa and IJL!

My experience has had some serious issues, but things seem to be getting better. My first date was a disaster! The only thing that matched what I was looking for was that she was female. Then, I talked to 3 different dating coordinators in 2 weeks. First Javi, then Nevelyn, then Someone from the Atlanta area. I really felt like I'd made a mistake signing up for your service. Then, Jason contacted me and he has been fantastic. He really listens to what I say and what I'm looking for. He's set up 4 dates for me already and the one I've been on so far was great! I'm really enjoying working with Jason.

I found the dating coaching session to be very helpful and informative. In the dating process, it is very rare to receive feedback on what you are doing right or wrong. My coach gave me some great feedback and some helpful hints/suggestions in overcoming awkward or uncomfortable situations.

When I first started, I was very pleased because I had Dolci as my rep. After Dolci was no longer my rep, I felt completely forgotten about and it was very scattered. I now have a new rep in just a few weeks, Sekennia, and she seems to be on top of things again. I really appreciate her attention to my account.

Daniel is awesome! He made sure that my first date with It's Just Lunch was a great experience. I know that he put a lot of time and effort in choosing a good match.

She (Sekennia) totally takes a personal interest in what I am looking for. She is very involved and doing a great job. I would recommend her to any and all looking to find the right person and get back into the dating arena.

Patty has been very helpful and quick to respond to all of my emails and phone calls regarding dates. I felt she set me up with good matches. Thanks to her, I have been dating someone for the past 2 months. Signing up with IJL has been a good experience for me, and I'm glad I got Patty as my matchmaker.

I had a very pleasant experience with my coaching session with Sheri. She asked all the right questions to understand my dating experience. She was also very helpful in giving me some helpful tips that I can exercise going forward. I really appreciate the time you took to hear my concerns and to make this a positive experience going forward. Thanks much!!

I definitely found It's Just Lunch a wonderful and exciting experience, and would highly recommend this service. Every member of the staff was very kind, understanding and incredibly helpful at all times.

He's beyond professional. He listens and doesn't hear you! It is clear to me why Daniel ** is a manager. He's an absolute joy to work with.

I am new to this service but the people make the process very easy. I don't have a lot of time on my hands to really meet girls. Looking forward to my first date and having a fun time meeting people. This is a new experience for me and I hope that by venturing out and trying something new that I get different results from what I am used to. I have never thought about using a service but the discretion provided by this company is very reassuring. I can only say that so far, my experience has been well and I can only imagine that it will continue!

I have really enjoyed the experience with It's Just Lunch. I have gotten the opportunity to meet really nice people. It is great to go out and meet new people.

I signed up for It's Just Lunch a while ago and wasn't always happy with my service. However, things have now changed! I have a new dating director who listens to me and is doing his best to help me meet quality guys! It's so nice to have someone who you can tell is genuinely happy with the service they are trying to provide! I was once singing the blues, but now I'm just singing! It's true what they say - anything worth having at all is worth working for and waiting for!

My dating director tries hard to find the perfect match all the time! He doesn't give up! I have met many singles and am looking for a great match.

I have not been happy so far with my experience with IJL. Daniel, my dating coordinator, is new (2 months). So my first 3 months were very disappointing especially for the money. I can't believe I am only getting the minimum (1) date per month, every single month. Plus, the dates have not been great matches. I was just hoping for better than what I am currently receiving. Hopefully, things will improve.

Overall, my experience with IJL has been pretty average. I find that there is little connection beyond a superficial one with most of my matches. It seems I do better on my own on a website like Match.com than I do with IJL at meeting men with whom I feel some kind of chemistry and common interest, and with whom I want to pursue a second date. Perhaps, they are different pools of daters? Unless there is significant improvement in my matches over the remaining dates, I will not renew my participation in IJL. It's not a good use of my time or money.

I don't have anything bad to say. It has been a sometimes difficult process just getting times to meet someone. Two dates in fact didn't happen because we couldn't make the times work. The dates I have had have been fun with the women, both good looking and personable. Tia and the rest of the staff have done everything they can to make sure I go on dates with women that I will be able to connect with, and so I have. Though none have been "the one," my expectations were not that high. Although not meeting her did make my rating satisfied rather than happy or very happy.

The staff is lovely, but otherwise the service has not been a successful experience. I feel like a walker. A walker is an old society term for a man who escorts wealthy women for money.

I had a very pleasant experience working with Tia. Of all of the people that I worked with, I preferred working with her. She tried to work around my schedule and often had good advice.

My experience with It's Just Lunch has been positive! I have had two dates, and while neither was a match, both were at the level I was hoping for. I enjoyed my face to face meeting with the staff member Thelma and I always get undivided attention from my dating director Tia. I look forward to continued success with It's Just Lunch!

Dayana is always there to answer my questions. She is very professional, and mostly, I noticed she works late in the evening after 8 pm Florida time to follow up with me if I have any concerns or availability questions. She is simply a gem in client service.

Everyone is really great to work with. I have had great success so far and Heather and Alex did a wonderful job making sure I am happy and continue to work on getting me successful matches.

Lisa is the best, looks out for everyone’s interest and takes ownership of the situation. I’m very pleased with her attitude and results from It's Just Lunch! She makes a difference! IJL is lucky to have her as am I.

For the most part, the ladies I have been set up with are educated and nice; but nearly never anyone I would be interested in. I am happy to go on the dates as set up by the IJL staff, who are often nice, particularly Tia; but I have very low expectations. The establishments the dates are set up are generally quite below par for NYC and often very inconvenient. My breeding certainly does not permit me to let the lady pay on a first date, so I have been going on these dates and paying; and not expecting nor achieving much of anything. There is an old society description of a man who often escorts elderly wealthy women to events, he is called a walker. It’s not meant to disparage any of the ladies, but this is how this process has often made me feel.

No shortage of really nice people (members). Also, a very nice staff of matchmakers working hard to find good matches. Also, the staff is very good at picking nice, fun locations to meet people.

It's been a great experience being a member of It's Just Lunch. I've met some really interesting women in the past two months, and have had some great meals at their selected restaurants as well. My dating representative, Dyana, has been wonderful to speak to on the phone and listens to my requests. I have two upcoming dates in the next week. I’m looking forward to meeting them both.

So far the dates have not been good. I went out 4 times and only one matched me. The other 3 were not close to what I gave in my interview. Sorry, just being honest.

She is easy to work with, very attuned to my needs and requests. She sets up winning dates for me. I wish she was closer because she would be a delight to work with in person. Based on the quality of the matches she is delivering, I think my dating days may soon be over, which is a good thing.

This has been the best dating experience. I have met quality men who are fun. I would recommend It's Just Lunch to my friends. I am looking forward to the next year!

This company promises but does not deliver. Initially they gave the impression they had many potential dates in my area… once signed on they wanted me to travel over an hour to meet folks. This is an expensive service and one would expect better quality. Also the matching was poor on the one date I did go on. We had little to nothing in common.

I was very impressed with the date coaching session. My coach, Sheri, was very positive and provided good constructive feedback. The feedback brought to light some things I wasn't aware of and that I will use to make future dating experiences more positive.

This is the second time I have joined IJL and I am disappointed with quality of dates I have been set up with. I do not feel that I am being matched with compatible dates. Either there was no chemistry, personality was completely different or I was not given a clear picture about the candidate. The process is also not what I expected. It seems that not all candidates are put through the same screening process. Incorrect billing issues. And I feel like I am the one who keeps calling my director to see what is available rather than him contacting me. It has been a little over a month and I feel like I have wasted my time and money by rejoining IJL.

As a busy professional with limited free time, It's Just Lunch has been as good as advertised. The signup process was easy and pain-free. I was on my first date within days of first signing up. Patty and her team have been super friendly and very professional. You tell them what kind of match you're looking for, and they come through. Since joining, I've never have had a problem of not enough dates. Overall, it's been a fantastic experience.

The service was horrible. I had one date with a girl who was not even interested in dating. I wasted my money. They lied to me to join.

I have been with It's Just Lunch for a few years. I enjoy professionalism and experiences. I have met some wonderful people during this process.

I bought into It's Just Lunch a few months ago. I was sold on it because I was told by the interviewer, Jorie, that there was a plethora of men in my age group, and that she needed more women. This was a good sales tool, obviously. I am 60 and in the two years I have been single, I have not met anyone I want to date. I believed that they screened potential matches well and that I would have better odds than meet up groups and online dating. I was wrong. I have been on three dates and none of these men had anything in common with me. I lived in Mexico for six years. Two of these guys had been there on a fishing trip once or twice. This was considered having something in common?! I don't think so. It is my sincere opinion that the only criterion they used in matching me was my age. I asked for a refund after date #2 and was convinced to try again. Date #3 was supposedly 65. He looked and acted 75 and was the most boring person I have ever wasted an hour of my life on. I know they won't refund my money. I have read countless horrific reviews on Yelp. I cannot believe you have positive ones. This was a total scam, in my opinion.

I have been involved with several dating service programs, and IJL is remarkable in the customer service provided. All the counselors with whom I have worked with are professional and extremely personable. I would recommend IJL to anyone interested in taking advantage of a professional, well-run dating service. I wish I had known about them sooner.

I tried several dating websites and never found my match. So I was sitting on the airplane coming home to Colorado and found an article for IJL and thought okay, this is my last chance! I called, paid the fee, and said to myself this is an investment for my future! IJL sent me my perfect match. Mike has everything that I asked for on my list of things that I was searching for and more! We hit it off immediately and have been together every day since we met on 12/6/12. We have so many things in common like cycling, running, hiking and riding motorcycles! My life is beautiful and wonderful. I'm so lucky that I got a second chance in life from IJL! Oh, he was my first date. We laughed because he is my $2,000 man! Thank you again, IJL.

Shanett was on time for the appointment. Very warm and receptive, asked questions as to what I liked and disliked about the one previous date I had, and she assured me that there were a lot of other women that were available that would be a good fit in response to my interest in meeting at least 2 new women each week.

Since I've signed up, I've worked with no less than 5 dating coordinators. Christine is the latest one, although I often hear back from someone else (Daniel?). It's frustrating because it makes communication difficult (I've had scheduling conflicts and feedback issues as a direct result) and it leaves me with a sense of just being a box to check as opposed to establishing some level of client relationship. As for the dates, the results have been even worse. I've had at least 3 dates that clearly did not meet my stated criteria, which ends up being a waste of both my and her valuable time. I understand that Jacksonville may not offer as many quality prospects as some other locations, but the blind adherence to reaching my quota as opposed to ensuring some level of quality experience is very disappointing (especially when considering the price you charge).

In March and Apr, IJL assigned Christine and she has guided me through 2 dates. Christine introduced me to 2 guys with criteria and profiles I requested. One experience turned out to be average; however, the second guy's profile did not match with the introduction (I requested divorced, no kids; he has kid, just divorced, however the profile was left blank). The interview process conducted by IJL appears to be incomplete (candidate status is critical to match) and might cause unexpected confusion. Overall, it's a mix up experience. The candidate profiles do not appear to be as diverse (age, race, profession) as Dating Specialist (Kimberly) had pitched me in. Dating directors are not equipped with an advanced tool to produce more accurate results in a timely fashion.

First Date - All good. Nice man, well dressed and pleasant company. Not going to date him again, but he's a catch for an older lady who wants a nice and polite man who wants marriage.

Lisa **, your dating coordinator in Florida, is so kind, personable and wonderful to work with. I really enjoyed my experience working with her to help set me up with my date! Thank you!

I just wanted to give a positive review of this service for what they are not doing. There are a lot of purported matchmaking services out there on the market more so now than ever because of the online craze. Some require a psychological analysis or a financial background check. Some send you to have a full makeover from wardrobe to makeup and hair before they will consider matching you up with a potential mate. What it really feels like is that they have several partners who will pay them for the referrals. Since you have already paid for the matchmaking service, it feels as though you have no choice but to go through with it.

The service is professional and I am recommending IJL to my single friends. Christian, my director, is very personable and feel like the people there are really working for me.

Where did you find Lisa!? She is a joy to talk to and has managed to find some real fun dates for me. I was about to stop this program, but she revived me. So thank you for Lisa. Have a blessed day!

Dayana is an amazing matchmaker. She set me up on the first date with a gorgeous and smart woman. We already went on three dates. I couldn't be any happier.

So far, I have enjoyed the dates that I have been on, though I have not maintained contact with any of the guys I have met so far. I have only been on a few dates, but the people I have met have been interesting and pleasant. The lack of follow-up is probably due in part to the distance between where I live and where my dates live (something which cannot be helped). It takes more enthusiasm for both people to drive an hour+ for a second date. The choice of restaurants has been nice, too.

I haven't found Miss Right yet, but I have no complaints in the way It's Just Lunch treats me as a client. It's easy. They call, ask availability and email me the details when the dates are set up. All I have to do is show up and have a good time!

Recently, I had the pleasure of a dating coaching session with Sheri of IJL and it was quite useful and will definitely help me as I move forward on the dating scene. It's a wonderful way to learn about yourself and get feedback on do's and don'ts and perception of your actions on a date. Thanks!

I've only worked with Christine for 1 date but so far she seems 100% better than my past dating director, Javi. I will have a better data point after a few more dates.

I just finished my coaching session with Sheri. I gained valuable information for going forward in the dating world. As a woman in her late forties and new to the dating world, it was a breath of fresh air to have someone listen to me and give advice regarding my actions on the dates. Thanks Sheri!

I have only had one date since I started on April 17th, so I don't have a lot to go on regarding my experience so far. My first date was pleasant, but not interesting enough to go out with again. I am looking forward to my next date. So far, everyone in the IJL's staff has been very nice. But I was disappointed that it took so long to be contacted about the second date and then only after I left messages and emails. Still I remain hopeful that the experience will be mostly positive and that I will have fun meeting nice, single men. Thanks.

They delivered what they promised. Introductions to men who fit my criteria, namely, appropriate age, appearance and social status. I am very pleased with this organization. They have provided what they promised.

I don't think I have been involved enough to rate IJL although I think the concept is great and I am looking forward to some positive encounters! I have been a member since late 2012. One person recruited me, another person set up my first encounter, another person interviewed me in person, and another is my current contact person! My concern is that there have not been consistent staff and that it doesn't appear that there is a robust database of people. I would be happy to respond again after I have had consistent contact with one person for more than one encounter. Thanks!

I had a wonderful experience with IJL. Everyone I have worked with and met on the team is a delight and really encouraging. They make me feel like I am special, and they are delighted to help me find someone I will enjoy and who will enjoy me. I feel hopeful after speaking on the phone with them and have enjoyed meeting the lovely people I have been matched with. Every time I meet a match, I feel like my matchmaker is really listening to the things I describe and want. Each time feels a little closer and closer to a person just right for me.

I am satisfied with Christine as she arranged for me to meet two gentlemen within a week in nice restaurants in town. Even though I may not meet these two gentlemen again, I appreciate the fact that Christine did not make me wait a long time before I met someone through her service.

I had a very good dating coach experience. The advice was good and the feedback was on target. I would recommend this session. Thank you.

The IJL experience has exceeded my expectations. The dating directors are very helpful and really make an effort to get it right. For anyone who is seriously looking for love, I would give it a try!

The quality of service is superb! The people from It's Just Lunch were great! All of them were very kind, nice and very respectful. To me, everything was very well synchronized in every aspect. The information was explained to me in detail and all of them were very thorough in their questions and comments. Prior to the interview with Thelma (from It's Just Lunch), I was skeptical but after a 20-minute interview, everything fit perfectly in place. These are the best US$1,000 I have ever spent! Thanks again, Arianne, Suzanne and Thelma.

I've only spoken with Daniel a couple of times. He has been friendly and a good listener, though sometimes I have the feeling that he's in a hurry. I am not dissatisfied with the experience I have had with Daniel, but I am not entirely satisfied with my matching experience. I'm willing to give it a little more time.

Lisa put a smile on my face yesterday. She is working hard to make my IJL experience positive! I really appreciate her efforts. She is great.
