It's Just Lunch Reviews

Don't do this! If you want personalized matchmaking, find a different service. This is not personalized - it's a database of people willing to pay the high fees and then every 4 weeks, they'll send you someone also due for a date. They claim to be very selective, but as long as you can pay the initial fee, you're in. Every profile will sound like prince charming, yet profiles are what many aspire to be, not who they actually are and what they actually like to do. I questioned on more than 1 occasion if this was a reality TV show to see how far a guy can push a woman with outrageous comments before they reveal the cameras.

I joined IJL April of 2025. I started out talking to Heather one of the matchmakers. Heather was really good at talking and getting me all pumped up about these quality dates I was going to have. As a matter of fact she was so good that she had me signing a contract and took my $2800 before I could even think what I was getting myself into. Heather said I would get 8 dates in 8 months. I've had four dates and none of the men were of the qualities that I stressed I was looking for in my interview. They don't know any more about matchmaking than I do. The communication is terrible. No one calls you back because they don't even have dates to send you on.

Actual date and the planning regarding the date was convenient and easy. IJL did all the reservations and communication. I just had to show up. However, I am frustrated and disappointed at the slow speed of organizing the dates and matches. It took 2 1/2 months to get my first date. And communication with matchmaker feels limited and equally slow.

I have been super satisfied with my IJL membership in 2025. Amber has been very communicative and available to discuss potential matches and my dating preferences. I have been very happy with my matches so far. The IJL team ensures they effectively plan the first date and follow up to see how the date went and the overall experience.

I was so disappointed with this dating service at the cost of $**. I only had 1 date from 6/2024 to 1/2025.. Two dates were cancelled the day of meet up. Poor communication with representative. I feel that they did not have enough people in their network for dating. A word of advice. Put your money somewhere else and try out a different dating service. I had to put 1 star because the rating didn’t offer zero.

I am very disappointed with the services of this company. I was told my membership would be placed on hold, only to learn six months later that it had been cancelled without my knowledge. This company does not stand behind its practices (even if it is in writing), and I would advise extreme caution when deciding whether to use IJL. I believe they are deceitful and take advantage of people in vulnerable situations. If I could give them less than one star, I would....

I joined IJL about 6 weeks ago. My matchmaker is Marina. I have enjoyed working with Marina so far. She has a good grasp on what I'm looking for in a match. She chose a good match for my first date. We had a lot in common and were a good personality match. She was also very helpful in easing my anxiety related to going on a first date. She also gave me good advice on how to frame my mindset around this matchmaking process. She is always available if I have questions. I feel like she is genuinely interested in getting to know me so that she can find the best possible match for me, my person.

Constantly match me up with matches that don't fit the guidelines of what I was interested in when I signed up. All this "mismatches" count toward the number of matches they guarantee. Before you sign up ask them how many daters are in their system. Basically it's almost none but they won't tell you they have don't have enough clients and diversity for it to work well.

So far so good with the It's Just Lunch crew. Everyone I have dealt with has been professional and courteous. They have also done a good job of getting to know who I am so that they can find the right matches for me. I am pleased with the services thus far.

I have successfully met 6 people with IJL so far. They have all been very nice and I am enjoying my experience so far. Lisa is responsive and thoughtful and she has chosen women for me who I am compatible with and I look forward to meeting more matches. All but two matches have been older than me by a few years. This is fine, although so far I've found I have a little more in common with women closer to me in age.

My experience with It’s Just Lunch has been very positive. My matchmaker Jaiye has been super positive and energetic and encouraging as we take this dating journey together. He asks a lot of great questions in regards to what I’m looking to achieve and has been very helpful in realizing these goals. He lets me go at my own pace and is flexible as well as far as our interactions go, talking about next steps.

Excellent listeners and accurately understand what I'm looking for. We've had some hiccups with follow-up, but that's partly my fault. The level of respect and concern for my goals is palpable. My matchmaker is kind and thoughtful. If you are having trouble meeting someone, I would consider IJL.

I was really impressed with my match. We got along great. I love how Jaiye coached me and followed up, and he seemed to care a lot. I’m just a little disappointed in the distance factor, which is why I have only 4 stars. I see positivity in the future however.

I signed up in Nov 2024, have had 5 dates since then with 4 just saying no to a first date and another had to reschedule, my matchmaker never responded to when it will be rescheduled until I prompted almost 2 weeks later then asked me to fill in dates I had already provided... There is NO CONTACT with your matchmaker AT ALL between dates ... So I've been waiting 2 or so months with absolutely no contact or feedback about anything ... It's very frustrating and I do not feel like they really care at all just the big fat $** contract price.

I have had a few dates. But not any connections. I was wondering if this was for me then Lisa called with an opportunity to meet Nichole. Finally a nice lady. Went well and we will see each other again. She was attractive and pleasant, very nice and a good sense of humor.

If I could give a negative star I would. Unless you live in a really big market or have homes in multiple markets, don’t get your hopes up and waste your money. They don’t have anyone in their databases for smaller cities and will try to dig up just any warm body to waste your time with. I joined a year ago. I’ve been on three dates. None were members. Only one lived in my market. And honestly, these were not men I would have an accepted an invitation from if I met them myself. Their only requirement (not curated) is that they are close to the age range and breathing. I’ve had better luck on Facebook and it’s free!

I just had an extremely objectionable interaction with a woman from the Charlotte NC office 704 332 6081 on 10/13/25. I was very taken aback and appalled at how poor the interaction was. She must have interrupted me easily 6x and continued to do so even after I mentioned the initial interruptions. She seemed to fixate solely on the age demographic I was seeking despite my attempting to discuss other selection aspects as well. To think someone pays serious funds to be treated so poorly during an initial interaction was eye watering. There was no shouting, interruptions or profanity on my part. The person just couldn't/wouldn't move past this point and advised me that unless I was willing to seek a woman much closer to my own age then "she couldn't take me on as a client". I am advising the reader to STAY AWAY from It's Just Lunch. I will not be pursuing with such an arrogant and unprofessional organization.

In my brief experience with IJL I am at, best lukewarm. I am, however, intent on giving this more time and I expect my experiences will elevate my opinions of this company and its' services. There is both ample time and space for improvement. More efficient communications would be a good place to begin.

The setup and the quality of the matchmaking is a noticeable step up from what I'm used to on dating apps. The booking of the venture and working the logistics makes it feel more casual and at ease than some impromptu date dating. I appreciate how quick they were to ask about feedback of the setup date and their openness for even some things that were not the best during the date

This Company is not about the personal journey but about the commissions earned. They too supplied several candidates even after pictures that were sent that I wasn't attracted to. I felt the site wasn't going to work out after a month and suggested a refund. The rep didn't was to lose her commission and said I was good for the year. I wasn't interested, after less than a month and suggested a 50% refund as I had zero dates out of a potential 24. She wasn't interested in working with me and misspelled my name. I feel IJL is a cold, ruthless, inflexible Company, it's your choice to work them.

My only complaint is that it seems there is just a general lack of available dates. Joined in June, had one no-show date in July, and next date wasn’t until September. It would be nice if someone from IJL would just say, “hey, this guy is or isn’t interested in moving forward,” just to make the whole thing cut and dry, but that’s neither here nor there.

I joined It's Just Lunch because the introductions were in person. I still prefer this type of introduction. Whether there is attraction or a second date, I believe you get a better measure of the person by being with them and talking to them. The main drawback that I have experienced is being notified of a match, providing potential dates to meet and then being notified that the person is moving in a different direction. One time, I arrived at the restaurant only to learn that the person would not be there. These responses have happened often enough to result in weeks long gaps between referrals. You lose interest in the process. I would still recommend IJL, but with less enthusiasm. Is it possible for IJL to summarize the feedback comments of the persons that I have met and provide them to me? If there is an area of my presentation that I could improve upon, this may be helpful. Thank you.

This company is a fraud! Many misrepresentations. I paid a lot of money and received no dates. The people they sent were so bad that I could not go out with them. I am surprised they are still in business as the reviews are horrible.

It's Just Lunch's matchmaker Lisa has been wonderful to work with. She took a lot of time to get to know me and what things I like and don't like. She has done a very good job at paying attention to the little details that really matter to me. She also has given me some great advice.

I was looking for an alternative to the online dating apps and extra level of screening. Even though it took a while, I finally matched with someone locally with whom I’m in a relationship currently. My dating coach assured me that I would only be matched with quality people and they were right. It was worth taking the chance with IJL. I am now recommending it to my friends looking to meet someone special.

This process begins with a deceptive, manipulative, predatory and aggressive sales pitch. They will get you excited with false hope of finding “high value busy professionals who don’t want to waste time”. If you consider yourself a high value professional (as I do), prepare to pay thousands to have massive amounts of time wasted. After networking with others who have been scammed by IJL, 95% of them are on other FREE dating sites with far more luck. When the initial realization of IJL’s inability to deliver what was laid out in their hard sell sat in, instead of solution based customer service, I’ve been met with gaslighting, being ignored, refusal of any sort of accountability and client blaming.

I highly recommend Lisa for matchmaking. She seems to take a close look and balances values, common ground and physical attraction. This is a very professional and thoughtful approach to something personal to all of us. Lisa looks for and uses feedback so I believe that is an important part of the equation.

This company is a scam. Their goal is to get your money and meet contract terms. They have no care for the emotional impact of these dates frankly it’s unethical. If you buy their service pay with American Express so you can get your money back WHEN they attempt to scam you. They take your money knowing they don’t have matches for you - that is unacceptable and unethical.

Amber was very responsive and helpful. I would recommend here as a coach to others. She was thorough in asking pertinent questions and relaying important details of my upcoming dating experience. The only issue to me was that sometimes she spoke in a soft, low voice and it was a little hard to understand.

The experience has been well so far. I like the general hands-off approach in letting someone deal with finding matching dates while I can continue my busy week. I even had a date that went surprisingly well compared to any other dates that wasn't setup through friends. My only complaint is that I do with that there were more often check-ins at least to reaffirm that things are going well. I don't hear much of anything unless either I reach out first or there's a date upcoming or there's feedback needed on that date, so if there's not a date ready, then it can feel weird to not hear anything and then surprising when I do hear something, but that's only minor.

This is an interim review. To date Jaiye has connected me with two dates. Both Pat and Ellen were wonderful ladies and we seemingly had a good time on our dates. However, Pat lives 75 miles from me and Ellen lives 225 miles from me. I think it is unrealistic to think we could maintain a relationship at those distances. When I brought the distance problem to Jaiye's attention he responded that I would have probably met all the local eligible women in my age bracket by this time. As the Buffalo/ Niagara area has a population of approximately 1 million, I find this hard to accept. Possibly from his viewpoint in Florida, Jaiye is conflating my area with Buffalo, WY, population 10,000 (but only if horses and cattle are included).

It’s Just Lunch is truly tailored to each member. I have had great dates, that matched what I am looking for. The dates went very smoothly from the reservation, all the way through to the end of the date and follow up. Jaime is my coach and has been very helpful and supportive. I definitely recommend the service, if you really want to find your special someone.

I've only had a few dates so far but it's been a very good experience so far. My matchmaker Lisa has been very good to work with and has been very responsive to me and has honed in on what I am looking for in a partner. I look forward to what is next in store.

My dating coach was wonderful. I felt like he was taking me through the whole process of how IJL works. Very informative... But the dates!!! Which by the way, I paid for three dates and I'm still entitled to one more date. The first date was just not interested in being there!! It made me feel like crap!!! I didn't understand how this could have been a match. Could have found him on Match.com. Sad

Two for two on liking the dates. Both were very nice and shared a lot in common. The staff have been helpful and did their homework. When it comes to matching the restaurants were very nice as well. They choose places with great locations.. The experience has been very good and would recommend it to a friend.

I signed up in September. When I signed up, my matchmaker said many of their clients go on several dates a week. That sounded great! I have been on ONE date. My matchmaker sent me 3 other men’s profiles to consider, but they did not come close to what her and I discussed as far as what I was looking for. I had even talked by matchmaker that I was willing to look outside of the Tampa area. I told her I didn’t mind traveling to Miami, West Palm Beach, Orlando or even Atlanta! **+ for ONE date is nothing short of robbery… It is now July. Their service has been a monumental waste of my hard earned money. My advice to you would be Match.com.

Extremely expensive for poor service. None of the people presented to me were remotely my type. Filed complaints with BBB. IJL refuses refunds regardless of the poor service they delivered. Do not use!

This is my third attempt with IJL. First date of a three date membership. The date went well. We matched up well on family values which was very important to me. We also live within a half hour of each other which helps greatly moving forward. The IJL staff did a good job and made everything clear prior to the date and followed up after the date as well.

Been with agency for one and a half years. No consistency of representatives. Customer service missing appt set up online. Most dates made cancelled day of event. Twice a no show. No concern for client. Save your money. Find another way. I am warning you. Robin **. Ventura, Ca

Lisa did a great job with my last date. She listened to the type of person I wanted to connect with and made an excellent choice. I appreciated that she took the time to understand my needs and wants and she delivered. My date was interesting and we had similar hobbies as well as comparable taste in movies and books. Great job Lisa! Ultimately we did not arrange a second date so I look forward to the next person Lisa sets me up with.

I have been in IJL for 8 months and have been on 1 date. I declined only 1. Most accounts seem to be on hold. The date I did go on was good and I do appreciate my matchmaker being selective in who he matches me with. Wish the communication was better after the date (never got a response to my form answers). Also follow-up emails if an account is on hold, so you aren’t wondering what happened with a date you thought was being arranged would be helpful.

We were very well matched and enjoyed each other. Went on a 2nd date and may go on a 3rd! Eyrina is a great listener. She asked detailed questions about the date and helped me understand my possibilities. Also she is adjusting my criteria a bit for an even better match next time.

I am so happy to have moved on from fruitless online dating platforms and found It's Just Lunch. My matchmaker Lisa, who is very knowledgeable and a real professional, arranged a great date with a wonderful person. We had a good time and will be going on a second date soon. It's Just Lunch is invaluable!

As a widowed male in my 50's I found myself not knowing where to start when I was ready to try dating. I was not comfortable using the dating apps now commonly used to meet people. As a busy professional, I was interested in having a personalized experience that would help me through the introduction process as well as match me with like-minded singles that shared common interests and values. IJL was the perfect solution. I was introduced to my executive matchmaker, Lisa D, who made the process both easy and painless. She handled everything - from understanding my likes and preferences to identifying compatible matches and scheduling first dates. Within two weeks I was going out on dates and meeting wonderful people. I would highly recommend their service.

Lisa and Heather have been very supportive and helpful during my experience with It’s Just Lunch. I just had a date last night and it was a wonderful time. Lisa and Heather have gone above and beyond to customize my experience with this company and to ensure that I meet the person that is meant for me. I recommend this company to others.

In setting up my first date - I don’t think my matchmaker understands the NY metro area. I understand I can be matched with men who live outside the city. But as I don’t have a car, it is not reasonable for me to travel by public transportation over an hour and a half one way to get to a date during the week. When I requested a change of venue - I did not find out it was actually changed till the night before. My matchmaker also did not inform my match about the change request until the day before. We both made it work but when I found out he often works from Manhattan - the entire reasoning for scheduling so far does not make sense. I have also had issues catching up with my matchmaker on the phone. When I try to schedule time to speak - I haven’t received calls back.

They told me they could match me with men from other countries since I travel all the time. When I paid, they ended up saying that it's not possible. Yes, the contract only says certain territories so technically, it was my fault for not reading the fine print. But lying to a potential client who is trusting you to find love it just bad cupid karma. I would definitely steer clear of this company because when I asked for a refund, they said I signed the contract so they kept the money. They may have the money, but I can at least write this to warn people not to trust them and that money means more to them than keeping their word.

Don’t waste your money with them. The Customer Service is not responsive and they take forever to get back to you. My date was nothing like I had hoped for. I’m trying to get a refund but no response. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR PEACE OF MIND.

I had an absolute blast. My date was amazing and had a great time getting to know her. We exchanged numbers and are planning a second date. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Keep the dates coming! I know that I am looking for a serious relationship and IJL has really provided me a platform to start a relationship with similar goals.

Lisa has been very professional in her approach for my matchmaking. She has been timely and informative about the process and the prospective dates. She has responded to my phone calls and emails on a timely basis. It has been a pleasure working with Lisa. Keep up the good work!

If you are a women in your early 60's this should not be on option. The premise is great, just an opportunity to meet guys through a lunch date. The problem is they have no men in the dating pool. I have been introduced to men 70 and older and I requested men within 5 years of my age. I have been a member since Nov 2024 and now it is June I have had 2 dates. The rep told me they have thousands of men in my area. Well if that's true surely there are a lot in their 60's right - not. I feel they are deceptive and it's all a big scam. Don't waste your time or money with this dating service.

Eyrina was my matchmaker. She was very validating on the good in me and wanted to find me a good match. She took my feedback and was responsive. I would like more details about my match before you meet them or even accept. Why do you think this match is good. What are the shared interests and values? Where is the synergy? Why do I want to meet this person beyond seeing a picture. Also how many people are in my area? I do wonder how big the pool really is since so many people do online dating.

Only one date in and I’m so impressed with the match making skill of IJL. Eyrina and Team matched me with a man whose values completely align with mine. I was looking for a traditional man who values integrity and who is a leader, and he was exactly that. We had a great date and exchanged numbers. Thank you IJL for making the dating process so easy.

Date selection was 100% as to who I am looking for. Chantal was very excited and stated she would like to go on another date. We exchanged numbers. After a few text messages. She stopped responding. So I have stopped texting her. My assigned executive matchmaker is amazing. I feel we have a connection. I Trust her judgment. Looking forward to hearing from her again with the next recommendation.

Hi - Lisa D. Is a great matchmaker and is helping me specifically address my preferences in a match. I’ve had other matchmakers that were really not connecting with basic preferences I had requested in a match and just throwing matches out there to me. Lisa really appears to listen and is very polite with the sensitive topic of dating and what matching entails.

IJL is not "just lunch". In fact, I never had a lunch date. They always chose nice places but the "happy hour" at 6 pm which meant shelling out for expensive dinners. Before the dates I received a bio but no photo, no age, no education, nohometown, no politics and no religion (the latter two important lately). For the most part, the men were not a match and had only a little in common. I had 11 dates in 6 months which is pretty good given they only guarantee one a month. That said, I felt the ratio was different and I was just a number. I paid $4200 for membership.

I like that everyone is friendly and encouraging. Jaiye has been helping me and he takes the time to make sure I am comfortable with everything and answers all my questions. I was a little nervous at first but working with him has been great. I am very happy that I joined IJL.

The venues I went on the three dates arranged by "Just For Lunch" were very good, the quality and location were satisfactory. The last team member I spoke with about the last date I had, Lisa, was very nice, easy to communicate with. My experience is limited to three dates although I contacted JFL more than one year ago. But I am optimistic, I hope that they will maintain their commitment to arrange 12 dates as promised in the contract.

I had a great experience with Amber. They really took the time to understand my values, interests, and relationship goals, and matched me with someone who was incredibly compatible on so many levels. Our conversations were easy and engaging, and I felt like we were really on the same page. Although I didn’t feel a strong physical attraction to my match, I still really appreciated the thoughtfulness and effort that went into the pairing. It showed that the matchmaker listened to my needs and tried to find someone who aligned with my personality and values. Overall, I’d highly recommend Amber if you’re looking for a professional and caring service that prioritizes compatibility and meaningful connections.

I have had the honor to be working with Lisa as my match maker. I had a very nice 1st date. It was truly a wonderful experience. Lisa has been very attentive, and she responds and gets back to me quickly. I feel like the company and service are working very hard to find me a great match. I am excited and looking forward to my next date. So far it has been a very satisfying experience. I am very happy with the services and Lisa. The staff are very friendly, accommodating, and enthusiastic about their work and finding great matches. I am looking forward to all of my future dates. I love the options and opportunities. I have a very good feeling that I may find just the right person for me.

It was a big disappointment. I live in Chicagoland and they don't have enough male participants in my age group. They have three serial daters to offer women over 60. One answered his phone during my date and told "Monica" that he'd call her later. Didn't say who "Monica" was. The other serial dater was supposedly traveling for work for a month and wasn't available. He told me he was in town and had gone on 3-4 IJL dates during the said time. The third man I didn't want to meet as he was never married. IJL worker actually encouraged me to meet him and find out why he never married!!!

I like the experience so far and the communication with Jaiye is wonderful. I have only been on one date but I am so looking forward to the next dates. I am very serious about finding my happiness with someone very special. I have nothing but positive feedback so far.

Don't bother. Don't waste your $$$. Unless you live in a major metropolitan area, you will be matched with people who live 1 to 4 hours away from you. It is unrealistic and they don't care about anything you have to say. They also do not follow up on dates to find out how things went. All talk, no action. Would give zero stars if possible. Once you sign that contract, that's it. You are stuck. Read your contract carefully. There are no refunds. Horrible company. Horrible customer service. Sales people are wonderful. All the wonderful ends there.

Very slow in offering suitable dates. Unless I reached out, offers were sparse. Approximately 1 per month… or even less. I haven’t heard from Jayai at all since the initial interview… and the one date I did accept, and actually go on the date was over 50 lbs heavier than her pictures... while I know that’s not IJL fault … they should have known that. And followed up on candidates… current status. Her pics were from 15 years ago. 1 date offer every month and a half is just not working for me. I was promised 3 dates for $1000. I have received 1 and really nothing else suitable since early February.

Do Not sign up and waste your money on this service! They do Not deliver what they promise. You will not go out on dates with eligible men every month. There will be months where they will not present you with dates and you will have to constantly follow up. The men are CEOs like they tell you and they are men that are overweight, bald and not whom you would date if they organically approached you in real life. I would NEVER recommend this service to anyone!

It’s Just Lunch – Enrolled Jan 2024. I enrolled in It’s Just Lunch in January 2024, and I wish I had checked reviews beforehand. Before I signed up, they were calling me almost daily, but once I joined, communication dropped significantly. I was promised 5 matches, but the profiles they sent didn’t align with the preferences I clearly shared—even after I expanded my dating radius.

I joined It’s Just Lunch at the beginning of March of 2024. I was very excited about the possibilities that I would experience with using the service, but pretty much I was disappointed when my very first date didn’t show up. It pretty much went downhill after that. I was highly oversold on what my experience was going to be and how It’s Just Lunch was going to help me with dating. I was placed with matchmaker who ended up not being competent and was fired from your company. Instead of anyone reaching out to let me know and that I would have a new matchmaker, I had to consistently reach out to have someone get back to me.

Overall, the matches and experience was average. I appreciate the arrangement and coordination of dates. A few of the meeting places were a bit too fancy for a meet-and-greet. Some of the matches were closer to on point than others. I would recommend knowing exactly what you want and making sure to give productive feedback.

I believe Jaiye, my sixth matchmaker understands what I am looking for and the details attached to that search. I have provided very detailed feedback to Jaiye on this process, with IJL To that point, if I was in the Atlanta area, I would have met someone already. IJL is missing the mark for those candidates outside the atlanta region. I feel certain there are many men and women looking for a companion or partner, but restricted to the atlanta region. If you need assistance, starting up a new market, I would love to help. Thanks, Ella.

Meeting Mike was a positive experience. He was a gentleman, kind, well groomed, educated and well traveled. I have two concerns: 1. He is 7 years older than me. I just had my 67th birthday and he turned 74 in March. One of my criteria is that my date be between the ages of 62 and 69. I decided to go on the date with Mike for 2 reasons. Since I signed up for "It's Just Lunch", I have said no to 4 dates because the "dates" that had been selected for me were not my "type". The second reason was even though Mike was older than my target age, he looked like a kind person and had a nice smile.

Jaiye's client attentiveness and responsiveness is a strength of IJL. He actively receives feedback and endeavors to enhance the quality of proposed matches and while he may occasionally suggest an individual about whom he is on the fence, he does not push aggressively or seem to take offense to my decline. Technically, I began with IJL a year ago but due to a relocation from CT to FL as well as about 3 months in a relationship with someone I connected with through OurTime, I've been active with IJL for 6 months. During that time, I believe I've met 4 men referred to me through IJL. As a business leader, my standards may be higher than many.

I’m only a couple months in to my IJL experience, on the plus side I’ve thought the staff has been encouraging and enjoyable to work with. I think I’ve been a little surprised at my matches so far and how often I should expect to hear from IJL, but as I continue my experience I look forward to it being more customized and differentiated from the typical app dating experience

My experience with It's Just Lunch has been wonderful so far! I was definitely nervous before my first date, but Dyanjray was incredibly supportive, she talked me through my nerves and reminded me of my worth and what I bring to the table. That encouragement made all the difference. When I finally went on the date, I was pleasantly surprised! The man she matched me with was handsome, respectful, and easy to talk to, I felt comfortable right away. Dyanjray did an amazing job selecting someone who truly aligned with what I was looking for. I’m feeling hopeful and excited about what’s to come with future matches!

These people are terrible. I told them the parameters of no moms and no older women and that's the first two options they present. The matchmakers are slow getting back or don't even respond. Pricey service to get nothing but sub-par options in return. I tried to refund the service but they were keen on keeping the money and doing nothing because they are a "business." I am a man of high quality finances, health, lifestyle, career, etc, and am using a fake profile so they can't identify me.

I am new to IJL and work with Amber. She has been wonderful. Amber is patient, listens and seems to work hard to understand individual preferences. She makes me comfortable and confident in the process. Amber and IJL take the work out of match making so you have time to enjoy a date and get to know someone.

I have been with the company almost two years and to date have not had any luck with any of the dates I have been set up on. Three different people that I’ve worked with and I was hoping they’d want to get to know me. Each time there is a change over in order to know what to look for.

Is by far the best matchmaker for me. Great listener, does a great job. He is very focused on getting the best match for me. He got right back to me on follow-up. I am confident my next date will be a great one. Thanks Jayie for being so dedicated to your job!

My experience with the IJL Luxe platform and particularly Hazel has been transformative. The platform allows Hazel to truly listen and gain insight into my personal dating needs and goals. Hazel is able to reflect on and share her insights about my experiences in a way that leads me to self discovery moments. These moments only add to more successful encounters. The most important thing is that Hazel listens with intensity, asks insightful questions, encourages myself reflections, then applies that knowledge to our confidence and date with intention. Next match. I’ve grown so much in confidence and now meet my matches with positive intentionality. The coaching is what I value most in the IJL Luxe program.

I feel there was lot of thought put into the process on my behalf. I appreciate the good communication with my Advisors. Bryanna was very good and engaged in trying to make meaningful matches for me. I’ve enjoyed working with everyone at IJL. I will definitely keep IJL in mind should I want to try the service again. Thank you.

As a business professional, the time investment to meet people through clubs and dating apps can be quite the hurdle. It’s Just Lunch helps alleviate most of that burden through their matchmaking service. The matchmaker I’ve been working with has been truly delightful. She is kind, receptive, insightful and encouraging. I do feel that she really does care about finding potentially great matches as opposed to sending me out on dates for the sake of it. The restaurant selection has been great. I enjoy the convenience of having IJL schedule everything so I don’t have to worry about the details. If I had to make a small complaint, it would be the after office hours support. One date did not show up and did not follow the policy of contacting the restaurant. I am not sure how this could be avoided so I do not entirely fault IJL for unusual circumstances. Overall, the program has been a positive for me.

Marina definitely found a great guy and I appreciate the time she obviously spent finding him and convincing him I was someone he needed to meet. He said that her description of me was perfect and he knew I was his lunch date the minute I walked in the door. The venue was perfect, great food and quiet enough that we could talk. Marina gave me plenty of background about him and the conversation flowed easily throughout the 3 hour lunch and the subsequent walk around the boat slips.

It felt like I wasn't heard as to what I am looking for but realize that it is a very subjective description so I just keep moving forward and hopefully find the right match sooner or later. I know that it will be just a matter of time. As my matchmaker and I have to learn more about each other and exactly what I am looking for in a partner. I believe she is attempting to find that match for me.

Mariana is attentive and listens to my concerns and wants. She has a lot of wisdom to share and is very supportive. She makes herself available at the last minute for any questions or needs. I feel very comfortable with her and know she has my best interests at heart.

Working with matchmaker Bryanna has been the best thing that I could have. She understands where I am coming from and truly gets people. DO NOT give me another matchmaker. I only want to work with her. Nobody else really understands where I am coming from. You need more people like her to where you can relate actual life experiences.

I paid several thousand dollars and was advised to put my account on hold for a month while on vacation. However, they limit how much you can put your account on hold. I then experienced a death in my immediate family, and my hold time ran out. They were unwilling to extend the time. They’re just here for the money, not to actually introduce you to a quality candidate. During the very short time that I was offered a couple of suggestions for dates, they were severely outside my very lenient criteria (e.g., morbidly obese, elderly, etc).

It's Just Lunch has been the worst experience of my dating life. I joined in late November of 2024. I was presented with 3 introductions right away. After confirming my interest, I was then told 2/3 were not available, but yet they still "counted" in my membership. I went on my first date in December, and it went well. When I called to give the feedback, she told me that I wasn't supposed to like the first match; it was only set up to provide them with a baseline. In February, I was matched with a woman named Dawn, who had four kids. I told my matchmaker that I wasn't comfortable with that.

I had a very nice experience with IJL. The dates were well selected. We did not have too much chemistry but from the point of view of selection, they were financially stable and reliable, something that was important for me, they were serious about dating. I do not think we hit it off, they did not like me, I did not like them but it’s fun to meet new people.

While I have not been with “It’s Just Lunch,” for very long the experience has been good. I like the fact that they do all the reservations for you and your only job is to show up. Also, having your personal matchmaker is a plus. My matchmaker is very helpful and listens to what I say and gives advice for future dates.

I joined about one week before the Covid 19 National shutdown in March, 2020. The contract only offered three days for cancellation. No one could have lunch because the restaurants were closed. I asked for a refund but IJL refused. Instead, they offered virtual dating-not what I paid for. I told them that I would rejoin after the Covid pandemic was over if they returned my $**. Again they refused. After the crisis passed, they agreed to give me 4 dates, not the twelve that they offered in my contract. My lawyer wrote a letter which they did not answer. I lost the entire $** and never got one lunch date.

Jaiye has been great to work with. He has done a wonderful job with identifying potential dates and listening to what I am looking for in a future partner. He always follows- up and listens to my feedback.. Jaiye has great charisma and is very positive. He is wonderful and I highly recommend him at IJL.

This has been a great experience. It has been easy and Working with Tanya has been great and the experience so far has been amazing. Everything has been easy and discreet. I have enjoyed having great conversations and meeting new people. I can not wait to see what the future holds for me.

IJL is a good service that brings people together and people together with the hope that they will connect and bring happiness to each other’s lives. Most of the time they have it on point but it can be hard to match people unless the person is upfront and truthful on their need, wants, activities, lifestyle, food they eat and more. Like the fact that it’s less pressure because time, location and day is picked for you based on your ability.

I have had nothing but a positive experience in my interactions with the staff of IJL. They are wonderfully nice people, who are attentive, kind and filled with positivity. My meetings with staff from IJL have been uplifting and I leave these interactions feeling better or in a more chipper mood.

They were a great matchmaker! Would highly recommend to anyone. The matchmaker does a very good job. They go above and beyond for their clients! Once again, they did a great job. Definitely worth the time and effort I put in. And also, an above average matchmaker. Definitely not subpar.

Tanya, my matchmaker, has been helpful and receptive to my thoughts and comments. IJL is good for people who value their confidentiality when dating and confirmation of the identity of people looking for relationships. The matchmaker will check up after dates and discuss successes and failures to help members identify characteristics wanted in a partner.

I've been very pleased so far with my experience with It's Just Lunch. I feel like my matchmaker is listening to me and welcomes my feeback after dates. I'm pleased with the format It's Just Lunch offers and recommend this service to other singles that want to avoid the traditional dating apps.

Tanya did a great job finding a quality man for me to date. It took some time but finally I got a good match. He knows my love language and shares my passion for the outdoors. I look forward to more dates like this or for this date to turn into something more.

It can be intimidating trying to make the time to figure out the struggles of dating when you have priorities that take away from the goal of having fun and finding chemistry. IJL helps, and having a matchmaker is a profound advantage, as this is someone who listens. Very good to know you have someone in your corner.

I've worked with Heather and Hailey. They are patient as it does take time. I found they work with care and integrity. Hailey has been the primary matchmaker and continually checks in with me on progress that might be made. If you read this; you must have patience as it's actually a numbers game. We all have aging values and expectations on both sides of the coin so "It's just Lunch" (iJL) is clear about dedication to find the person that may be right. I also found that the person they find for you may not be telling the truth.... That's not the fault of IJL. It does take patience and Hailey is very, very good. Patience Please;.

The match OK but didn't result in a second date. He met some of my "asks" but in the end I didn't feel there was enough chemistry. Also, he was 9 years older than me which is higher than my desired age band. I'd like to stick within my age band for future dates and be matched with someone who is more outgoing.

I signed up a couple of weeks ago, and had my first date a few days ago. The signup process was easy, fun and thorough. Amber was in touch with my first date. She arranged everything and the process was a breeze. The person Amber recommended was compatible, and the date; lasted about 3 hours where we got along very well. Our only hesitation was the distance between us. I mentioned that to Amber during the post-date wrap-up. I am confident that she will find someone as compatible but a little closer next time, which I look forward to.

I’ve only been working with Tanya for about 2 months. She has been welcoming, positive and encouraging and is a good listener! I’ve enjoyed the 2 dates I’ve been on and am looking forward to more in the future. She seems to have a knack for this! Thank you, Tanya for helping me find that special someone.

Jaiye has been a great guy to work with. Very helpful, professional, fun and very attentive to details. We have been working together for over one year. This has been quite a journey as it's been the first time I have ever used a dating service. It's been a real pleasure.

Jaiye listens, is very respectful, and he tries to find the best possible match for his customers. He pays attention to what your likes and dislikes are. He keeps his word, when he says he will get back to you. He takes good care of the IJL customers. I have had a positive experience with him as my matchmaker.

Marina is listening carefully to my feedback. Although the dates are coming in slowly, the individuals I am meeting have many of the qualities and characteristics I am seeking in a partner. I remain hopeful that something will land someday. Marina is punctual, respectful and professional. I really don't have much more to say because our interactions haven't been plentiful.

I feel this company sells you on the fact they have a huge database of men with my criteria but in fact I’ve only have one date where the man was my age. All the others were much older 8-9 years when I specifically requested 5 years younger or older. They only pick their top three qualifiers from my entire list of requirements and you don’t even get to preview any selections to see their pics and bios before the date. Once a selection has been made you are forced to go on the date or it counts against you. The dates locations are picked by IJL. And then you wait weeks before you even have your date. I would not recommend this service to anyone

Marina is a great matchmaker to work with. She’s very professional yet nurturing. She is a great communicator and intuitive in understanding who I might match well with. I’m thankful Marina is my matchmaker because she has done an excellent job in picking a first date for me. I look forward to continuing to working with her, and I trust her picks for me.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with the operating model involved. I don’t feel like I’m wasting time or effort, and the feedback system on getting more grainier on what type of person you are and you are interested in has worked well so far. The high touch contact is much better than the alternatives for dating apps on the market, and the privacy is a major positive. They have a similar goal- to get you matched with the correct person as quickly as possible, as opposed to apps trying to get you as a semi-permanent revenue stream.

Jai told me initially that Andrea and myself were going to get along. He was right. Best date I’ve been on so far. She was charming, attractive, very much a classy lady. We hit it off well. The date lasted a couple hours and would have been longer if schedules would have permitted. We have a second date next week. Thanks Jai

Eyrina is so professional. She is excellent at what she does. She listens to the things that are important. She will send reminders of the IJL date. She follows up after the date. I. Enjoy working with Eyrina and IJL. I have been on IJL for years, Eyrina is my favorite.

Getting back into the dating game was a little stressful and scary, but Jaiye and the It’s Just Lunch experience made it easy and fun. The entire experience was well planned, enjoyable, and as advertised. I highly recommend this dating experience over all the other Apps out there. This experience is safe and worth the price.

I am new to IJL. So far, very pleased. Tonya has been a good coach - offers good advice. I went on my first date quickly after joining. The date went well. We talked for almost 3 hours. I believe we will get together when he returns from Montana, Tonya encouraged me to text him which I will. Looking forward to additional introductions as well. Thank you

Generally my date was a good match. He checked a number of the boxes for who I would be attracted to. Our conversation flowed easily. We determined that we lived too far from each other to continue to a second date. I look forward to who Jaiye picks for my next date.

So far my experience with It's Just Lunch has been positive. David has been really attentive to my concerns and what I am looking for in a potential match. I had my first date and it went well but I look forward to meeting more people to find that special someone.

I had a very good experience during my dinner date with this company. Everything was arranged ahead of time in a very well organized fashion. The person who was arranged to meet me was very pleasant and professional. We enjoyed an enjoyable dinner and drink together. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in doing it.

I have been on one date and would like to go on more. I like the interview process and with the one meeting I felt like I met a quality man. So far I would recommend this to a friend. Jayie is very easy to talk with and made me feel comfortable right away and allowed me to share personal things.

Jaiye is a great at matchmaking! He gets to know his clients and listens to them. He is great at learning what really makes a person tick and what makes a date click! I can honestly say he has never set up a date that wasn’t a good fit. Keep the dates coming! I’m enjoying the experiences greatly! Thanks! 5 STARS!

Amber is a very good matchmaker. She does her best to hook me up with people who have similar interests and hobbies. Amber also is very considerate when working with the days and times I am available to date. She also has changed times and days on an occasion or two when something unexpectedly came up.

My experience and relationship with It's Just Lunch and, specifically Tanya, has been quite positive. She interviewed me and got to know me, especially understanding what I was looking for in a new relationship. She matched me up with my first date which went well. My date was still in the process of “shopping around” and recommended that I do likewise.

It has been a bumpy road so far with IJL. To start with the positive, the people I have met on dates have been great. They have been kind and open to conversation. However, while I have had a couple dates, I have also been ghosted once and stood up twice. They need to either better vet their participants to make sure they want to show up, or better communicate how to inform their date if something came up last minute and they cannot make it. Additionally, my first date guilt tripped me into paying for the entire evening, despite what IJL policy is. I would appreciate this being more clearly communicated in the future.

So far my experience with IJL Luxe has been exactly how it was described to me, and I am very happy with the quality of matches sent to me. It is a much better fit than the regular IJL. The communication is more in depth and consistent and I feel like Amy my matchmaker is getting a real feel for who I am, and her matches reflect that.

Tanya is very friendly and easy to talk to. She talks with enthusiasm and leaves you feeling positive to meet your next date. Thank you for your support in my dating journey. For the most part my matches have been pleasant and with similar interests. Have a great holiday and look forward to my future matches.

I am disappointed in It's Just Lunch. It appears they have too few customers in my area so have offered very few dates. I joined 5 months ago and only one date has occurred. The matchmaker assigned to me has been friendly, expresses desire to find matches, but he does not respond promptly to my emailed or phone call questions. He tells me he can provide so little information, according to company policies, as has sometimes made it difficult to decide whether to accept a match.

The people who work at It's Just Lunch seem very nice, but the process I am not sold on quite yet. The pool of people seems small and the matchmaking process seems more like an availability check than a compatibility check, but I am hoping to be proven wrong soon.

Unfortunately IJL treats their business as a pyramid scheme, and a poor one at that. Your initial contact is a salesperson who makes it sound believable enough to try, and then your personal matchmaker generally ignores you after setting up an initial date. They ask you to review them after this first experience, which is how there are any halfway decent reviews on this company.

I have just begun the process with Tanya but so far I have found her to be extremely professional. The first date I went on was very enjoyable, we did not allign on our political views which unfortunately, I don’t think you can screen for. I look forward to continuing the process with Tanya hope she can find me someone special

Overall this experience for me has improved since it started. My only improve thus far which still may or may not be in the matchmaker’s control is to provide feedback to each person based on how the date went. Ex; I provide feedback about my date(s), but I would like to hear feedback about me with what went well, and if it wasn’t a good fit if there was anything I can work on to make my portion of the next date better.

I’m writing this review today in the hopes that it will save someone from getting scammed from the Chicago office. Please don’t make the same mistake that a lot of us already have and believe all of the lies that you will be told from Venessa. She will ask you what your preferences are in a partner and assure you that it’s no problem. Once they have received your money it’s all downhill from there. Your matchmaker will then set you up on dates that you have zero in common with and none of the qualities you were told would be no problem. In one case I actually had one person that lived in another state. Believe me there is no matchmaking going on whatsoever. They just throw two people together to make their obligatory one match a month. When you question them as to why they are setting you with someone that in almost every case is the total opposite of what you are looking for they will tell you that there is nothing they can do. You get what you get.

When I contracted the service for the one I paid ** dollars I did it because I was looking something different that I have founded in the date apps, starting for best matches according to your expectations and is not that IJL gave me, in eight months I have only dated two times and I rejected two or three candidates because they were not physically my type. Also that I have never receive feedback or something that could help me to find a partner. Absolutely the worst service.

I am a very successful, over 50 male in a major metro area. It wasn't that dating sites didn't work to get dates, it is that they took a lot of time and too many scammers, escorts, and flakes to wade through, and when I found someone I might like, there was a good chance she wasn't local. IJL sales pitch sounded great. Better quality than I've been finding and I don't have to spend 20 hours to find a date. Sign me up!

They asked me to review, they got it. Member since Summer 2023 and I've only been on three dates, none of which resulted in anything. Had I known a month earlier about Jigsaw dating events that started in my area, I wouldn't have signed up. The model seems broken; who's paying $2,000 when there are apps which are a) free and b) have significantly more possibilities? Matchmakers are doing the best they can, but some don't seem to understand geography, especially when I was clear I wasn't interested in going to neighboring markets 2+ hours away. (One found me a gorgeous girl two hours past the hour I'd have to drive to get to my "local" market, but never followed up on if she'd be willing to meet halfway.)

Expensive but fun. Meeting places didn't usually make sense geographically. I have met interesting people. My most recent date felt like it may turn into more than a couple of dates. We'll see. Canceling/being late for a date is hard because IJL may not check their email or voice messages in time to communicate the message when it is a weekend/outside of regular business hours. Amber has done a good job with communicating with me - she is persistent (which I appreciate).

My matchmaker Bryanna has been great to work with. She has found some wonderful people to match me with, and although so far I haven't yet found someone to continue to date beyond the first, the dates have been very enjoyable and I am looking forward to my next one soon. Bryanna is very courteous, professional and responsive and I'm enjoying working with her.

Very responsive and super helpful! Jaiye provided excellent support with my lunch dates. I would recommend him to other members. He was attentive to my requests. He replied quickly when I contacted him over email, and I would expect him to be like this with all of the people who work with him.

I would recommend a friend. Your company has been outstanding in finding me ladies who are; intelligent, hard working, morally sound and looking for a good person, just as I am. Thank you for finding women who have similar interests and values in which I do. It is refreshing to meet people who you usually do not have a chance to meet in my other areas of life, due to schedules, work and lifestyle. I would certainly recommend your company's service to other friends and other sound minded and moral people who I do know in my life. Thank you

This was one the worst decisions I have ever made. I was taken in by a fast-talking salesperson who was basically making it out to be something it was not. I paid 4,900 for basically nothing. They are interested in selling you a membership and don't really care what happens. There is no refund; I would advise people to avoid this company. There is little choice in the dates, and they are not interested in your preferences. It is almost a year, and I have been on two dates. The second date was person who was not even part of the dating site, he admitted it saying it was a scam. Please avoid this dating site...any run of the mill dating site is better than this. I am walking away and disappointed in myself for believing the salesperson.

My Rep listened to the details and arranged a meeting with a lady that was almost perfect! She still may be? After almost two hours she left me wanting to know so much more about her. I look forward to her coming back from her cruise and setting up another meeting to get to know each other even better.

From the beginning, dealing with Elizabeth who on boarded me, to Amber who now which I have consistent contact with. Both Lizabeth and Amber have been very transparent and realistic with expectations. Amber and I have open conversations before any future dates. The only draw back is my own lack of patience, I know these things take time....LOL. I will keep you posted.

My IJL experience has been great. I'm meeting quality people without the rigors and back and forth of online dating. It has made my dating life so much more enjoyable and easy. My matchmaker has been so kind and responsive and open to all my opinions, thoughts, and feelings. I would definitely recommend IJL.

I would like to clarify some remarks I made with respect to my experience with IJL. I signed up for a 24 date or 12 month package on Feb. 14, 2023. The agreement stated that if the 24 dates did not occur within 12 months, the term would be extended until 24 dates were arranged. I was immediately assigned to a male matchmaker whose name I do not recall as he soon left before any dates were arranged. After that, I was at one time or another in touch with five other matchmakers: Carissa, Tricia, Marina, Amber and Amy and some dates were arranged, but the consistency of communication and overall experience was unsatisfactory. I expressed my displeasure in my earlier evaluation.

Perhaps it just goes with the territory as I am age 64. However, of the 4 dates I went on, the women on 2 of them appeared to me to be unwilling to be vulnerable and for the most part, unwilling to engage in genuine dialogue. My friend, Sy ** who just died, taught me that it's impossible to have a business relationship, let alone a personal relationship without (1) the willingness to be vulnerable and (2) genuine dialogue.

I really appreciate you helping me with advice and the restaurants that I have been are excellent. I enjoy the dates that were selected. I'm always looking forward to meeting someone special and I hope that happens soon. I have a lot of faith I will meet someone here soon.

My experience has been great. 1st date was scheduled week 1. I really appreciate Jaiye, my date advisor, I feel like he understands my request and is diligently working on my behalf. Jaiye, has made the experience fun and exciting. I am looking forward to more dates with quality prospects that meet my requirements. That’s why I went to a professional service.

Executive matchmaker Amber has been a "guide at my side" during my time with It's Just Lunch. She's a great listener with a good deal of insight into the dating process. Navigating the dating process can be stressful and working with Amber has increased confidence and made the process easier.

Jaiye has been great to work with and has communicated effectively from the start and really listened to what I had to say - already had a great first date! He listens to what I want in someone and already has offered some great matches - he genuinely seems to care and listens to feedback after dates.

My matchmaker, Amber, did a great job selecting a date for me. My date and I have a lot of values and priorities that align, as well as similar interests. I appreciate that Amber was patient and thoughtful when selecting my date.

Nice service but still working on things and TBD. Will continue to take advice and direction from the matchmakers involved, so far so good. Good, caring service but still working on things. It’s been a fun experience so far and look forward to more dates and opportunities to meet someone special.

Jaiye is very responsive and intuitive. He has helped by listening to my preferences and even making adjustments to my preferences as we go along in this process. Jaiye has helped to make the dating process so much easier for me by helping to match me with others based on my preferences and expertly vetting potential matches for me.

Be VERY careful gentlemen. This is a very shady, and in my opinion, extremely deceptive company. Details about membership are conveniently not divulged prior to joining. If you happen to live south of Colorado Springs, you better understand clients are mostly out of Denver. This is a little fact they conveniently leave out. So be ready to drive long distances just to have dinner with a complete stranger. They also leave out that under no circumstances will you get a refund once you give your credit card details, and it is going to cost you between $** and $**. ANd oh yes, you also will be required to pay about $** a month just to be a member. THEN!!, if you decide to put your membership on hold, you will STILL be charged a monthly fee. It sounds totally crazy I know, but sadly it is all true. So to close, gentlemen, just be careful because these people will try anything they can, or say anything they can just to get your credit card details.

This is my second time as a member of It's Just Lunch, (prior membership was in 2009) and will continue to refer others. It is a great service for those re-entering the dating scene. Destinee is thoughtful in her match making skills. She is always cheerful and open to suggestions. I enjoy working with her.

My matches aren’t by my criteria for women I would like to date. I would like the women to be younger and have adult children. I feel I am very easy to find matches for but there is always a long wait to find a woman to match with for me.

My experience so far has been excellent! Amber has been attentive to my specific situation and I feel comfortable talking with her. So far, I have been on one date, which went well. I did express that I would be interested in still meeting other possible dates and Amber was very helpful in hearing about the things that I would like.

Amber is very attentive to details and requests, she follows up efficiently. She seems genuinely happy when she makes a good match. She listens well and communicates well. I like that she is no nonsense and gets right to the point in a conversation. She represents your company well. I really like the fact that I can view photos before accepting a match.

This is a new adventure for me, and dating is very different from the last time I was in the dating world! It’s Just Lunch and my point person Jaiye, have been very helpful with building my confidence and walking me step by step through the process. Jaiye contacts me regularly with potential matches and provides a concise description of the potential match. I look forward to working with Jaiye going forward to find a good match!

With its excellent customer service and sharp attention to detail, It's Just Lunch has been a catalyst in my search for long-term love that far surpasses what I experienced with various popular dating apps. It's Just Lunch has restored my romantic optimism, and I would certainly recommend to a friend.

It's been a good experience so far working with Jaiye. He is good about communicating and staying in touch with me so far in regard to the two women I have been out with, as well as also getting information from me in order to help him in picking future women for me to meet.

I have been a member with IJL for 11 month (since the end of November 2023). For the first 7 month I was very unsatisfied with the service I was getting, in other words I was not getting any service at all. In July I was contacted by agent Marina who was a matchmaker for the guy who was interested to meet with me. I really liked Ms. Marina's approach and professionalism in matchmaking and for the first time I experienced the best service in IJL and I requested Ms. Marina if she could be my matchmaker. I started getting more and more dates with great man in town since Ms. Marina took over the case. My rate for Ms. Marina is 5/5. Rate for IJL is 3/5 for the bad experience I had for 7 month.

I had a fairly pleasurable experience meeting Rich. Although we did exchange numbers at the end of our date I don't know for sure if I will hear from him. We spent 3 hours together talking about both our past relationships and what we like to do for fun. I think we both learned a lot about one another. He was very nice, attractive, good sense of humor and great conversationalist. I did feel some chemistry with Rich. My one concern was that after he told me he's already been married twice he is unlikely to do it again whereas I've never been married and still think I'd like to keep that door open. But I did say that I was willing to see him again.

Your team did a great job. We matched in every way.. Music, likes & dislikes about so many topics, food, family history & lots of laughs. The only thing missing was sexual chemistry. I also think he was shorter than 5' 9". He was maybe 5' 6". Looking forward to my next date!!

I have been working with Tayna from It’s Just Lunch for over a year, and my experience has been exceptional. From the very beginning, Tayna has been incredibly responsive to my calls and always takes the time to listen to my feedback. Her friendly and approachable nature makes our interactions comfortable and productive.

Tonya has been very customer service oriented and vey responsive. She is always looking to extend positive encouragement. I look forward to continue working with her to find my last, first date! I would like to see the site adjust to allow for someone on one interaction with the selected dates. This could be helpful in the process.

I was introduced to Lisa by Tanya B at It's Just Lunch. I could not have been happier to meet Lisa. She was not only a wonderful person, she also was incredibly attractive and poised. She is exactly the type of person I would like to get to know and while we have many cultural common traits, we also shared laughter - that's very important to me and appeared to be important to her as well. All in, Tanya suggested a winner of a person for me. Tanya listened attentively to my needs, desires and descriptions of the type of person I seek to develop a relationship with.

I went for interview - was told men are investigated prior to date - false. I went on 3 bad dates at $** a date. Just gave them the other $** because no refunds are allowed. Save your money. Blind date better than what they offer.

Awful company. Complete ripoff. I have been a member for 16 months and went on 1 date. I have been offered 12 other dates BUT of those 12, 6 of them became immediately unavailable for a date. It’s as if they presented a man to me just to keep numbers so they can say they tried. The other 6 were completely not what I signed up for. When you sign up you go through exhaustive lists of preferences and non negotiable categories. They did not pay attention to anything I requested. Men were out of my age preference, not within the boundaries of a number of other categories I said were non negotiable. I have had conversations with my matchmaker and her superior. None of them listen. At this point it’s a joke. They need to be reported to Better Business Bureau. The price was hefty! Over $2500. Do not sign up!!!

I have enjoyed using this dating service called It's Just Lunch for me. I really enjoy where they can set up the restaurant and times for me to go out to eat and meet my match. I do enjoy working with my matchmaker Destinee on the phone and over the email especially since I am a very busy person. Destinee is very nice and pleasant to speak to especially after the date.

The match with Lesa was close to perfect. Her physical appearance, her persona, was perfect. Only one exception she has 2 kids and I have none, Other than that Destiny gets a 5 star rating. Now the date: We talked for hours, I believe we were interested in one and another. But when I walked her to her car she told me very politely that I did not have the chemistry for what she was looking for. So we agree not to see each other again and continue searching. Respectfully submitted. JESS

If I could put 0 I absolutely would! This is a terrible service where women take advantage of other women! It’s unbelievable how poorly run this company is and I honestly don’t know how they are still in business! DO NOT give them your money!!!

Be aware that when you drop the thousands of dollars for this scam you will not be able to get a refund for any reason. First match they gave me was nothing like what I was looking for. After a few more matches I went on a date, and was stood up at the restaurant. Bartender was cool about it and gave me a free drink out of it at least. Second date attempt he confirmed day of, then canceled an hour before meeting. This is the quality of individuals you'll get to deal with. Ever since then the matches have been like bland soup, if not worse. I no longer look forward to IJL's calls or emails, more like dread how bad their next "hand picked" selection is going to be. My account is on pause after 9 months of wasted time and money and have zero desire to even complete the term.

They led me to believe there were many options for me. In reality the first date let me know he was no longer interested in dating but was contacted because they needed a date for me. The second offer was 80 yrs old and not my age range. The 3rd date did not show up. After one year there was not one decent date for me. They (IJL) talk fast and smooth until you sign the contract then they disappear. It’s shameful. I’m 70 and they knew they didn’t have men interested in my age but I have email from them saying there would be plenty of dating options for me. I think they purposely tell older women that because they think we are easy targets.
