It's Just Lunch Reviews

I met my boyfriend on my very first IJL date over four years ago and we are still very happily together. The staff at IJL really listened to me in terms of what I was looking for and what was important to me in a relationship. Not only that, but IJL has checked in over the years just wanting to know how we are doing. We never would have met otherwise and I credit IJL with finding the perfect match for me.

My experience with IJL has been great. I've met some great quality women. The level of service is always very professional, and I feel that my matchmaker is very in tune with me and what I am looking for. I would recommend this service to anyone who is serious about dating and looking for quality matches.

Very first class ladies and professional. I would rate IJL for just one dating service. They are very nice and professional people working there who enjoy their jobs. Debbie is there to listen to whatever issues you may have about dating. I would recommend It’s Just Lunch over any other dating company.

The staff at It's Just Lunch were very great to work with and made sure to contact me on a regular basis to introduce me to new potential matches. I went on numerous dates with girls introduced to me through IJL. The reality is that although a few of these experiences resulted in subsequent dates and while I did not meet a partner throughout this time, I did get to enjoy the company of several different girls over the course of more than a year.

When I meet an IJL date, they weren't excited, maybe the exception of one. None of them would take that chance and talk on the phone after we meet or show any interest in or common things. I’m so sad and disappointed of this journey. I spent a lot of money. I am ready to have good friends and a significant other.

Daniel has been great at finding matches for me and fine tuning them when I give feedback after each date. I have enjoyed using this service and have told people about my experiences with it. Whenever I talk to Daniel, he is upbeat and positive about potential matches for me. He makes me feel encouraged to go out and meet them.

I love talking to Richard. He gives me confidence, and I've had more dates with him as my dating director than all the others combined. The dates I've been on have been fun, although I haven't found Mr. Right just yet! Thanks for the great experience.

My dating director Richard for the Sacramento area has done a fantastic job filling in for Brienne. It has consistently sent me out on quality dates during the last month and honestly done a better job in finding dates that I have more in common with. I feel much better with Richard at the helm. Wish he could have been in charge from the beginning. Thanks buddy.

While I did not meet my match with It's Just Lunch, I met genuine and interesting men, a number of whom I went out with multiple times. At times, the process was frustrating, but I thought the overall experience was positive. The staff responded to phone calls and e-mails in a timely fashion.

I loved the fact you talk to real people and they constantly work on bettering the experience if needed. One on one help. The other stuff is a joke and just luck to find what you are looking for. The level of research they do to get to know you and find a match that’s going to fit what you’re looking for as closely as possible is fantastic. The staff seems to be handpicked to size you up and pair the best match, even finding out the hidden personality trait you may have overlooked.

Great matchmakers! Professional. First rate all the way. They take the time to personalize the choices and to research your dates. No guesswork and none of the problems you have with standard internet dating sites where photos are old and profiles are not accurate. You can relax in just showing up knowing that all the groundwork and screening has been done ahead of time, and that there will be no surprises.

I was just divorced after 25+year marriage to my college sweetheart and had not dated since college. I am a professional and did not have time to spend hours on a website, but I really wanted to date and get out. It's Just Lunch, and specifically Richard ** has done a great job of setting me up with dates with great women. Some have led to second or third dates, etc. While not every date has led to such, every date has been enjoyable. I would wholeheartedly recommend It's Just Lunch.

Overall, IJL is pretty good. But it takes like 10 dates to get one good one. It's usually at date number 10. So overall, if they can make a match, I'd say it works. But I'm guessing the people who pick the dates are at the mercy of the market, so I don't complain too much.

My name is Paul and I would like to say that I have been with It's just lunch for a while now and it has absolutely been a great experience for me. And I would also like to say that if you're looking for an upscale dating service that It's just lunch is the perfect opportunity for you. I have been working with Daniel and he is absolutely the best guy ever. He really helps you and he really assists you in any area that you need help. Again, I would recommend Daniel for anything that you need and I consider him a really good friend so please try It’s Just Lunch.

The advisors/matchmakers are very professional and have had my best interest at heart; they listened to what my preferences were. I have met many wonderful ladies and have become friends with some of them. In today's world of dating, I find this method more secure. It has been a very positive experience. I would recommend them again. I’m hoping to find the "one”.

The one-hour conference consisted of my receiving feedback from my first four dates including following future dating tips. Sheri was excellent! She listened thoughtfully and openly. I asked specific questions for which I was offered clear answers to assist me on different strategies to utilize during future dates. Sheri made me feel comfortable to share personal thoughts about dating.

Three dates that Richard has been my dating director. Richard has by far been the best dating director I have had. There has been about four previous dating directors, none of which set me up with anyone I would go out with a second time. I believe Richard, being a man, is easy to talk to and understands what I am looking for. It has been a pleasure.

I was very happy after speaking with Daniel about my first match because I felt he showed a genuine interest in me as a person. He was very easy to talk to and listened to what I had to say. Daniel is the epitome of customer service, and I look forward to working with him!

Usually I am not one to complain. I like to focus on the positive and give credit where credit is due. Unfortunately the issues that I have been having with this company are forcing me to do so. I am also not alone in this as there are over 20 negative reviews on Yelp that say how deplorable the company is and that a majority of the folks have had a similar experience to mine.

I initially joined It's Just Lunch at the basic level. The first man to whom I was introduced was lovely, but was not as ideal a candidate as I had hoped. Then Brenda called me and said she had an "Elite" level man she wanted me to meet. What a difference in this man and the other! There was no comparison! She explained the exclusivity of the Elite membership and I liked what I heard. She assured me that these men are personally chosen by her and coached by her. She also explained that they pay a lot of money to work with her because they are serious about finding the right woman. What she said really "spoke" to me because I am serious about meeting the right man as well.

I've been on five dates with successful and mature single men so far. I had fun in most of my dates, and it's very encouraging and refreshing to know that there are good men out there who are still available. It's been difficult to meet single men who are my peer from other occasions, and IJL definitely helps! IJL arrangement makes me feel safe and in control of my dates. I don't have to play games to figure out whether the men are single, looking or just flirting, etc. I recommend IJL for single career women who are looking for a nice and fun date.

Sheri was helpful in reviewing previous feedback and making suggestions for future dates. I appreciated the feedback.

It's Just lunch (IJL) Singapore is a professional scam in Singapore. Do not, I repeat, do not join this service. I recently closed my case with It's Just Lunch Singapore (IJL) at the Singapore Subordinate Court. So I just want to share my experience with anyone who might have the intention to join this service. This is my warning to you: Do not trust them and avoid them if you don't want to have trouble and a nightmare dating experience - see my case below.

The person who contacted me after I inquired about the IJL services online was dynamic, understanding & promised some “great guys” that matched my criteria that they had for me to meet. I was very excited about the possibilities. I did not want to spend $2,000 but I thought that if I spent the money, I would get better service and results than paying $19.95 a month for men looking for hookups & no commitments.

I had a great experience with Kelly at It's Just Lunch. I have tried online dating for years and was meeting men who were not interested in having a healthy relationship. It was nice to have the opportunity to meet quality men who were interested in spending time with me. After about 4 or 5 dates, I met somebody great and have been with him now for about one year. I think it's very important to be open-minded in trying a service like this because it really does come down to being honestly ready for a healthy, mature relationship. It's definitely about quality and not quantity.

I am happy with the service provided by IJL. I am particularly happy with my dating director, Obed. Because of his efforts, I am giving IJL a higher rating now than I had given in the past. I was not pleased with some dating directors before. I have had only good experiences with Obed. I would suggest the service to other single men I know.

It's Just Lunch is a wonderful way to meet a great man or woman. Why? Everyone is intelligent, educated, polite and professional. If there is no chemistry, you both know it. One says goodbye and one moves on. One does not need to pretend to go on a second date or waste any time. It's great to meet for lunch or dinner and talk to the person face to face so as to get to know the person and hopefully there is a click. Also, Tia ** is a fabulous dating director. She is efficient, polite, professional and determined to find a person with similar traits to mine.

After several meeting dates over the course of 18 months, I wasn't crazy about the traveling but realize living in rural area, I had to make sacrifices. This January, I met another IJL client and we had an instant connection. We have many common interests and find it very comfortable to be with one another. We've decided to date exclusively and are grateful that we joined IJL because we would have never have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. It takes patience but it does work!

I did not know what to expect during my first IJL phone call but Rochelle's professional and friendly manner made the information session fun. Daniel's humor and prompt assistance helped make my first date-match a breeze. Rochelle and Daniel work well together and I am looking forward to my first IJL date. Thank you Rochelle and Daniel for my positive IJL experience.

I'll be driving a good bit for some of my dates, but so far it's been a good experience. They have set me up on a surprising number of dates for as long as I've been a member. Most have been at least close in educational/professional background, and one lady they recently set me up with seems to be a very good match; I saw her again just a few days ago. Finally, working with Obed has been good as he really works to make things convenient.

I know it’s hard to match someone that’s why I came to professionals in this field. I wanted to meet more quality people that are more on my level, and I think last night I have. Let’s see what happens as sky is the limit. The guy has a potential and a drive to be in a serious relationship and that is what I am looking for; someone who shares my views and my morals about life and family. So far, I am satisfied with the results, yet there is room for growth. Cheers!

I recently reached out to IJL to try an alternative approach to organically meeting people given my busy schedule. I had read the reviews on various websites and saw a lot of bad. However, I also saw some good. I then figured that I would take a stab at it. I spoke with Robin of the Houston office initially. I voiced my concerns about gambling with $2,400, but she was a good sales representative and convinced me that she didn't need my money because business was so good; however, it is always happy to take new clients. She was great and had good rapport.

I enjoyed my experience with IJL, Obed was a good contact to have and kept me busy. I will sign up again should the need arise. Thanks.

I thought it was a good idea, but after my 3 dates (which I complained about), I decided not to extend my membership. This was in Charlotte, NC. Maybe other cities are better. I wasted a lot of money!

Sheri's coaching session was extremely productive and informative. She asked in-depth questions about my IJL experience and my dating behavior at large. She was engaging, a good listener and gave excellent feedback and tips - all without meeting me in person! I feel like I got a lot out of the conversation and I am glad that this is part of the IJL service.

I decided to use IJL when I got really serious in my search for a life partner. The staff was consummately professional and made it easy. It was a lot of money, but boy was it worth it. The first several dates weren't quite right, but the feedback from each one helped refine their matching. There were lots of near misses and then one bullseye. My 8th setup was magical - just perfect. I'm now engaged to that woman and will be marrying her next month. Thank you IJL.

I found my fiancé on my second date arranged by IJL. The service was expensive but worth it. I didn't have to do any looking myself, and they set me up with my soon-to-be husband. They have high-end clientele and convenient dates.

Starting to date and meet new people, after being married for 25 years, was not as intimidating as I thought it would be after I met Christine **. Christine put my mind at ease instantaneously with her warm, positive, open, and energetic demeanor. She was candidly open about what to expect and how the process worked. I think that most of us get in our own way when it comes to finding someone right for us. We have a tendency to fall back into the same relationship habits and patterns that got us there in the first place. Hiring a matchmaker helped me help myself. She opened my mind to meeting people from all different professions, ages, and backgrounds. She expanded my view of what could be a great match for me. I followed her advice and stayed completely open to whoever she matched me up with. To my surprise, not hers, my best matches were the ones I would have never picked for myself! Thank you Christine!

George was my dating director. I adore him! He is extremely personable at making it so easy to express your thoughts and feelings about each date. It is like chatting with your best friend. I went on 6 dates in 3 months which was more than what they guarantee. Each person was intelligent, friendly, ambitious, well traveled, and interesting. I truly enjoyed meeting and getting to know each of them. Andrea, whom I met with, is also part of the dating team I worked with. She is super outgoing and upbeat. She really wants to help find the best match for her clients. George and she were amazing at finding matches for me.

I asked Dolci where I could relay my experience with IJL. Dolci directed me here. I would like to state that Dolci has been delightful to work with. She is affable, sympathetic, energetic and professional. I met Thelma for my photo shoot and found her also to be extremely accommodating and most pleasant. I am new to this process, but have had distinctly rewarding experiences with the personnel. I am interested in seeing how everything unfolds, and I very much look forward to continuing interactions.

Patty was a great to work with. She was always cheerful and helpful. After many years of using other services, IJL was able to help me find what I was looking for.

All in all, the service has been good. The girls have been very nice and understanding with me. I won't lie; I'm picky, and that can be an issue. It has to be pretty rough really finding out about who would be a good fit. I mean, I'm sure everyone likes, for the most part, the same stuff (I like restaurants, I like movies, I like having a good time). I guess it's getting more in depth, which I guess is my job, now that I think of it! However, it would weed out some of the matches.

I have been with It's Just Lunch for almost a year and have gone on many great dates. They listen to my feedback and match me accordingly. I have been on several second dates and see a great quality in the women I am meeting.

My experience with It's Just Lunch has been very positive so far. I recently placed my account on hold to pursue a relationship with a wonderful woman I met through the company. This would not have been possible without the efforts of my matchmaker, Linda, who has taken the time to really listen to what I am looking for. I found that this process has made things really easy with the help of the dating coordinators, Marissa and Talya, who are efficient in setting all of my dates. I would recommend this service to anyone.

Javier has done a terrific job of coordinating dates and times for me to meet some great women. Bravo to Javier and thanks to IJL for all the support especially on Valentine's Day! I would recommend IJL as the real alternative to online/virtual dating. Real Action, Real people, Real results even with an active lifestyle, past divorce, kids, and growing business in my circumstances. IJL is the right solution for meeting and dating today in the Saint Louis Area.

I recently completed a dating coaching session through IJL, which I found to be very helpful. I received good advice and general dating tips, as well as specific feedback from the woman I have dated through IJL. I would recommend all customers take the time to go through the coaching process.

Sheri was very engaging, professional, tolerant and did a great coaching session. She provided some great feedback, which I will use going forward. Wish I would have gotten this session sooner. I would suggest providing real time feedback after every date. Sheri is awesome and she has a good sense of humor.

We met for coffee at Robert overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park. Table reserved by It's Just Lunch was by the window in what must have been a gesture by the restaurant to your company. My date was good looking, intelligent and conversant on many subjects - really quite more than I expected. We look forward to getting together again soon.

I called It's Just Lunch to inquire about pricing and how the service worked. After a very hard sales pitch, I was asked for my credit card number. I said no but she kept selling me and eventually I gave in, $2,200! I instantly regretted it and became even more regretful as time went on. I hesitantly went on the first date, which was with someone I would never go out with. Honestly, I wouldn't even consider going out with. I was never called after the date for feedback. After waiting about 5 days, I called and asked for a refund. I told them I wasn't interested in the service and would like to cancel. I was told this wasn't possible but that they were happy to place me on a courtesy hold. I told them I wouldn't be using the service and that was giving away $2,200. I asked for a partial refund, again not possible. They proceeded to talk me into trying one more date. Realizing this is basically a scam where no matter what I will not get any money back, I figured I had no choice but to try one more time. Again, a disaster.

I have been working with IJL for about six months. Obed, my consultant, is very professional and detail oriented. He makes the whole experience easy and efficient. He is very good at his job. I have met several very nice, intelligent and professional women. IJL works for me, because I am very busy and my time to meet new women is limited. I would recommend this service to others. I have met a lot of really nice women.

I have been enjoying my IJL experience so far and I am looking forward to my next dates. Most of the folks that I have met so far have been a lot of fun and were enjoyable to spend time with. IJL has introduced me to people that I would have never had the chance to meet during my everyday busy life.

I’m so happy with the service that was provided by my matchmaker! Heather is awesome to work with and does a great job at finding matches for me. I'm very impressed by the clients in the program, and IJL makes everything so easy. It’s great for busy professionals, and I like the option of doing lunch or happy hour. I highly recommend IJL and Heather!

I was pleased with the service. My coordinator was especially pleasant to work with. She was always positive and had my best interests in mind.

I just signed up for this and have determined I had a grave mistake. My dating director, Javir, yelled at me on the phone when I called him back to tell him I was not interested in his first match. I gave him specific criteria that was not compatible with his choice. Javir threatened me and said, "This will count against you." I paid these people $2,600 a couple of days ago. I will be contacting my attorney tonight.

I signed up for IJL and my credit card was charged (over $2,000) on 12/13/2012. It is now over eight weeks later, and I've had exactly one date. I have called and emailed the local dating director multiple times, but I haven't heard back from her. I emailed the national contact and also have not heard from her. This service is not worth the money!

Obed has been my Dating Director ever since I joined IJL. Obed does a good job of listening to my requests and matching my dates to the requests. Anytime I call Obed, he answers immediately or returns my call within a short time. My experience with Obed and IJL has been a positive one.

In 2002, I was fortunate enough to meet my husband through IJL after dating a variety of people for about 8 months. I had a lot of fun during those months, and I had an incredible amount of dates, both in IJL and outside of IJL. Because I was very open to dating, I had success meeting men outside of IJL which kept me plenty busy, plus I joined IJL with a friend making it even more fun. My experience with IJL is, of course, going to be different from others; but I believe that my proactiveness in guiding the team at IJL is one of the keys to my success.

Joined IJL in 2004 to meet people and maybe find someone to go out for movies and dinner with. On my 8th date, I found someone whose company I enjoyed and that, like me, was not looking for romance. We went out for awhile. Two years later, we were married, and this year, we are celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. I now have a loving and caring man, but most specially, we have fun together. Thanks It's Just Lunch! For me, it was more than lunch, it was a life change; and I am loving it.

I had about six or seven dates so far. I enjoyed every date. Some are better than others, but never really disappointing. I love the fact all I have to do is show up looking awesome and ready to talk. I’m looking forward to continuing and finding the "right one" to have an extended relationship with.

I am impressed with new Milwaukee management and crew. Liz, especially, seems dedicated, talented and most of all concerned. She is really trying to match us up. As a discouraged veteran of 30 plus dates with IJL in the past, she seems to be a good one. Granted, I'm starting over but in better hands. Finally, Milwaukee seems to be in the hands of the founders with their ingenuity, creativity and concern on how to best help others. It will be interesting to watch. Go Liz!

IJL has given me great opportunities to meet several very intelligent, accomplished women. I'm more than satisfied with the service being provided. It has been virtually painless to consistently meet very impressive women. IJL has removed many of the hassles and inconveniences of dating. Thanks, Debbie (my local dating coordinator) and thanks, IJL!

I had a terrible experience with this company. I spent over an hour talking to a sales rep about myself and about what I like in a guy. It's been two months now. The first date never showed up. The second date was the complete opposite of what the sales rep and I discussed. He even mentioned that other girls he was sent out on dates with have complained. He is Catholic, and his last date was with a Jewish girl who stated she only wants to date Jewish men. I paid $1,000. The contract I signed stated the term was four months or four dates, whichever came first. I think they try to send you on four dates to meet their obligation regardless of whether the match is good or not. I have also emailed both the sales rep and my matchmaker (Jeff), and both have ignored my requests for a refund.

So disappointed in the quality of service. I was only matched with 2 (of 8) dates that actually lived in my county. One lived two hours away. One was a librarian aide. He could barely maintain a conversation and so improvised I felt I should pay for lunch. Then they ignored me for 10 months and promised to make up for it with 2 extra dates, which they then refused to honor. I would tell anyone and everyone to not do IJL. I promise you will be disappointed.

I would highly recommend It's Just Luch as a very professional matchmaking service, which is much better than on-line dating.

I signed up for this service because I could not handle the risks involved with online, unscreened dating. It's Just Lunch is not any better than Match.com. No one is screened. The relationship directors don't do any more than you would do yourself. They matched me up with a married man who was separated but was not getting a divorce. That is not a match! That is a dead end. I was introduced to men who were older than they were supposed to be - one was an alcoholic. Two dates were so awful that I wanted to climb out the restaurant window. Do not waste your money or your time! I could write volumes about this company, but I have wasted enough time and energy on this issue. Go for a lovely trip and enjoy the cost of this service.

Obed, my dating director, does a really nice job. He's 200% better than the last several. He's on the ball and very friendly. He is a pleasure to work with and I'm pleased to recommend him. Why do I have to write 50 words when so many less will convey my point?

Their staff has been attentive and professional, thoughtfully identifying matches. Calls are always returned promptly and I trust their judgment and screening process.

I'm writing regarding this dating service. Hopefully, my experience will be a warning to all those out there! First, please beware! This company are not who they say they are. Major rip off. For the past couple of weeks, I've been trying to get in contact to get an explanation. Carrie, one of the first people I spoke to, mentioned a lot empty promises and basically, all she wanted to do is take my money. I was set up with a couple of dates that really didn't even match me. It's like they weren't even reading what I wrote on my profile. I'm thinking these people just pick randomly, which is not what I paid for. Plus, I haven't been set up for other dates just like they promised. Beware of these people: Anton, Brianne, George, and Brandis. None of them wanted to help me with a peaceful resolution. I swear these people change their names every time I speak to them. It's crazy. Be careful with empty promises and avoid this company! It's a scam.

I signed up for this service even though there is no location in VT. I thought I could make the trips to MA and that they had people in the area to date. My first date was with a man from the Cape, who had no idea I was from VT. I had a change in circumstances and I can no longer just drive down there anytime I would like. I have one of my children full-time. I attempted to tell them and they really did not care. I tried to contact the person who I signed up for the service with and she just forwarded my emails without helping to resolve my issues. I asked her for a manager and she did not respond. I am now trying to do the face to face and I cannot schedule it due to my child. I even asked my representative, "Who do you have for me? How do you know they will date someone from VT?" No response as of today. I would like help getting a refund. Thank you.

My time spent on my Dating Coaching Session shed light on what is going well and things that I will keep in mind in order to experience more successful dates. The Dating Coach has listened to my specific experiences and provided relevant feedback that I believe will help me on my future dates!

Molly has been great. I think service is rather speedy. I've been to some nice restaurants. I assumed you got 24 dates with signing up but found out later it's only 18. It should be explained a little clearer. I also think you should offer a shorter membership, blah blah blah. Sorry, I couldn't think of 50 words.

It's Just Lunch has done all of the hard work in finding a person that I like then setting up the date. Each date has gotten better and better and I look forward to having fun with each new person that I meet. My dating director, Debbie, has shown true concern in trying to find me an amazing guy to date. Having this service has taken the stress off in dating.

Good opportunity to meet different people and experience new restaurants. It's just fun to meet new people and go out. I've been on more dates since starting the program. Better than the bar or club scene to meet interesting people. Only downside is the travel and distance between participants.

I have been trying to write this to IJL sooner but life has me really busy. I wanted you to know that this is the second time I have joined IJL. And I was very pleased to have been able to work with Obed. He is a wonderful addition to IJL staff compared with the individual I had to work with the last time. He is personable, friendly and puts in a lot of effort and time trying to find a match that you are looking for. I am on hold right now but when I return, I am looking forward to working with him again. Thanks Obed.

IJL introduced me to my wife in November 2007. We were married in October 2011. Our wedding website is here: **. The tab for "Our Story" describes our IJL experience. We both felt like IJL was just pairing us up with anybody else that was available in the system, but, luckily, we met.

Wow! What a great conversation I had with Sheri. She was upbeat, informative, and very friendly with a nice pleasant voice. I wish I had spoken to her a few months back to correct a few things I've done wrong. I would totally recommend speaking with her. :)

Patty hooked me up with a date and, so far, things have been great between me and this girl. We have been seeing each other for about three months now and it really has been a great match. We really connect on all levels and our communication is as open as can be. That's what makes it special.

I was skeptical about the service until I connected with Tia **. She intuitively understood what I wanted and needed. You can tell that Tia gets vested working with her clients and demonstrates that she wants the very best for you. I have already recommended the service to many friends and I hope they are lucky enough to work with Tia.

I had been relocated to another city due to work. I called IJL to cancel my membership because I could no longer date in Calgary. My dating director, Patty **, was sad to see me go. In fact, she went out of her way to transfer my file to my new city so that I could date there. Moving is stressful, but that help from IJL (especially Patty) made it that much easier. That's great client service! Thank you so much Patty. You're awesome!

Response to coaching session: The session was very helpful. It gave me some ideas about how a conversation should flow on a date. The most important information I received was that I should be a good listener and make the other person feel that their presence and contributions are important to the process. Sheri was positive and helpful in guiding me to more successful dates. Her constructive criticism was appreciated.

I work with Brenda ** out of Dallas and am part of the Elite program. Brenda is outstanding in every way. She truly works very hard to find good matches, not just 'dates'. She gives 100% and truly cares. She coaches along the way to try and help you have success. I have worked with other IJL offices and people and other companies - none of them compare to Brenda. I commute between Kansas City, MO and Dallas. I tried IJL in Kansas. They did not live up to their commitments, didn't return phone calls, even called me to say they would give me a special for $200.00 for me to try them again, that they were going to fix the KC office and really had great matches for me. They took my $200.00 and I never heard from them again - sort of like stealing.

I have been with IJL for about two years now. In these two years, I have had at least 6-8 dating directors. Out of all my dating directors, Christian is an exception! He is great at returning emails, always answers calls, is very patient at listening to and answering questions and is thoughtful in picking matches for me. Before I was placed with Christian, I was actually considering canceling IJL, because I was frustrated and disappointed in the services I had received and did not think my experience reflected the price point I was paying. (For example, dating directors before never answered their calls, seldom returned emails, and matched me with people without having read my file or got me on the phone and called me with the wrong name!)

Obviously, dating is difficult for me. It was great to converse with Sheri on ways to reinforce what I do right, and ways to improve on some weaknesses. It was really helpful to even identify areas of weakness in my dating skills because I don't have an outside perspective or a knowledge base of qualities that lead to success. Sheri took the time to explain the concepts in an enjoyable and engaging manner, and checked for understanding. I just recently used one of suggestions regarding eye contact and conversation skills, and patted myself on the shoulder having made an inch forward towards success. Today, I found out we are stuck in the friend zone, which gives me the opportunity to develop those other skills. I would like to thank Sheri for her time and effort, and taking a genuine interest in my situation. Thanks!

This company is a crock. First off, I never registered with the company. I was simply looking into a job that they had listed in my area. From there I started receiving phone calls daily from their Florida office (954 area code) and every voicemail they leave me states they want to talk to me before they go into a meeting. They purposely leave voicemails as if they're someone I know personally and never leave the company they're calling with. On several occasions, I've called back genuinely confused on how I know them. I've received several calls from Paris, Lisa and Lauren - all of which never state that they're with It's Just Lunch. All of which stated they wanted to chat with me before they go into their next meeting. So ridiculous! I've told them several times to stop contacting me, yet they still do. Obviously, they need some business because I can't get rid of them!

I signed up October 2011 and to make this short, this was how it all went down. My first date cancelled on me 1 hour prior to meeting. I got the message from the waitress since this was a weekend and I was seated at this restaurant. On the second date, I got a call from the matchmaker to inform me that my date could not make it due to personal issues. Once again, I was already seated at the restaurant, but this time 45 minutes away from home. On the third date, I actually met with my blind date. What a disappointment! She was looking for a man in the 50's because she was 46 yrs. old and I specifically told the matchmaker I wanted someone my age - 37 yrs. old. They stated she was 38!

Patty is always pleasant; she's there if I need something and very easy to work with and talk to. Patty always provides detailed descriptions of the matches and what I and the ladies have in common. There have been times when I or the lady have had to change the date or time, and Patty has always found a solution.

This company is a scam to the first degree. They will take your money ($1,800 for 6 months, but can be more, depending on your salary). They will not return calls and they will match you with completely inappropriate individuals. My last date was with an admitted drug-addict and felon. Please don't waste your money. You cannot get any of it back and you can't even contact the home office, which is in Oceanside or Palm Springs, California because the address is hidden from even the information operator. The phone there rings, but no one ever answers regardless of which department you try to connect to. Don't go there! They are scary!

I'm really impressed with the quality of gentlemen I meet through this service. I am really enjoying my dates and the conversations I have with these men. The dates are always at a nice restaurant in a relaxed atmosphere so it makes it easy to have a great dinner and a nice conversation to try and get to know my matches.

It was a Saturday night, my 3rd IJL date and coming off a lousy set up the month before. My attitude muddled through this, and after my next scheduled date, I would put my membership on hold. There wasn't the formal escort, and she came over by herself. Cute, independent-within minutes, the personality! What a terrific personality. Let's get to the here and now. After canceling my next IJL set up and putting my membership on hold, I haven't been this happy since... probably forever. Thanks IJL!

I want to tell you a little bit about my experience with a cool dating service that I just joined called It's Just Lunch. Basically, I joined a dating service because I just didn't have enough time to go out and meet people and I wanted a fun way to meet, like minded professionals at a relaxed setting on my time frame. At first I thought the service was a little pricey but when I sat down and did the math, it actually came out to great value. I have enjoyed working with my dating director George. I'm hundred percent satisfied so far.

I am very happy with the service! It's one of the few services that really deliver. I recommend you call if you are a single professional looking for your next love; this is it. Give it a try and you will be very happy. It seemed like a lot of money at first but I am so glad I did it. Do the math and see for yourself. It's very worthwhile.

If it were not for Brenda in the Dallas office, managing the Elite clients, the results would not be nearly as good as they have been. Brenda makes the effort and takes the time to do what I would consider is an excellent job of matchmaking as it should be done. Without her, I would not be using IJL due to the poor results in the past. Thanks to Brenda, I am quite satisfied.

IJL experience was excellent. It started with a staff that was kind and made me feel comfortable. They listened well to my 'wish list', shared honest information, and took and delivered feedback well. I was very impressed with the quality of service and selected dates. (All dates were very respectful and a gentleman!) This experience also enabled me to grow as an individual. Thank you IJL.

Brenda set me up with two great matches, and I decided to put the membership for 30 days on hold and see how the relationships develop. Both women are very attractive, well-educated, and just fun to be around. Since I have never spent a lot of time dating women, I have to get used to this new "life". Up to now, I had a very positive experience working with Brenda.

I decided to go all in to find someone different and special. I don't think the men could wrap their heads around a normal girl from Abilene, Texas. I hope to find someone interesting and earnest. Brenda and I have become friends, and she knows so much about me. She really took the time to get to know me. I love her!

I have been working with Brenda ** for the past few months. She has worked very hard being very professional and looking out for my personal interest. I recommend her and look forward continuing working with her in the future. Jenna has also been very friendly, always helpful and fun to work with. She and Brenda make a great team and show that they enjoy their profession.

George and Patti have exceeded my expectations on all levels in terms quality of dates, venues, etc. These people add value by listening to my needs and come up with dates for a very short notice. I would recommend your service and have recommended it to good single friends. This is my first service and I'm happy I chose It's Just Lunch.

The women I met through IJL were interesting and delightful to be with. The conversations over lunch and dinner were animated and educational. It was apparent that the IJL staff was investing a significant amount of time, thought and effort to find matches with the profile I requested. Over a six month timeframe, the IJL effort resulted in several repeat dating experiences that are ongoing. If one's expectations are realistic, IJL can deliver.

As a young health care professional in Dallas, I found it very difficult to find the free time to date. I joined It's Just Lunch, and they have introduced me to so many great men! They really make dating much easier by taking care of all of the details for me.

I wanted to let you know my dating director, Brandi's, is great. She really understand what I am looking for. Brandi's is always upbeat, very positive, and provide good feedback. I would recommend this service to all my friends and family members. I always look forward to hearing from Brandi's for her input as I date.

My city is listed as one of their locations, so I thought I would give the service a try. They sold me hard when I called and told me they had lots of wonderful men for me. I signed up. It turns out they were incredibly dishonest and had no one in my city (it should not be listed then!), and I was set up on dates two hours away from me or with men who lived 45 minutes away. I have no interest in ever seeing the men I met again - It's Just Lunch seemed to be randomly setting me up with men in a 300-mile radius. It's Just Lunch did not listen to my preferences and even made me drive four hours round trip for a 15-minute "face to face" meeting with one of their representatives. We met in a hotel, very sketchy, and it was a complete waste of time. It's Just Lunch has not responded to my requests for a refund. I am extremely disappointed and would never recommend this service to anyone. I'm currently trying to get a refund, but the company is extremely hard to pin down. It's been an awful experience.

I have been working with Anton (my Dating Director) for about a month and a half now. I have been on two dates with another one this Friday. Anton has been the consummate professional. I have a busy schedule and travel often, so meeting people is difficult. Anton has helped me out tremendously. He is polite and has a personal touch. I trust Anton and look forward to the matches he has for me in the future.

I decided to try something different than the online thing and heard about IJL on my Sirius radio. So, I got on the net, found your site, and contacted your people in Miami. First, I've got a great matchmaker, Patty. I have had my first 4 matches, and they were all excellent. Things are looking very positive. Patty has good instincts (very nice women), and we continue to try to find the "match" for the "one". So far, very positive, excellent! Thank you Patty and IJL.

I guess just as a little review, I have not found the perfect woman yet but thanks to It's Just Lunch, I am much closer. This is a complete program and honestly, it is what you make it. I took some risks and went out on many of the dates, met a lot of incredible people, and ultimately, I am closer to what I was looking for than I was when I was sitting at home. This is a very good program that I would highly recommend!

Most experiences have been good. My rep obed has done a nice job in matching me properly with women that are interesting attractive and suitable.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my IJL subscription. I moved to NC six years ago by myself. I'm newly divorced with no friends or family. My children are all grown and gone. I read about It's Just Lunch on a search engine, I think. Anyway, it sounded like a good idea, much better than dating sites which I hadn't wanted to do. I just wanted to get out and meet people that I had common interests with, who are about my own age and let nature take its course. I have met some terrific people and enjoyed the no pressure style meetings. I'm still looking to meet that special someone but I feel secure that I will because I'm meeting quality ladies that I have similar interests and compatibilities with. In today's hustle and bustle, it's nice to have IJL looking after my social life interests.

Proof is in the pudding as they say. My third IJL date and I were married this December. Our first date was arranged by IJL in July 2010, so I'm not certain why this request has been made at such a late date. The only reason I did not give five stars were communication issues between my first two dates, IJL and myself about my marital status (separated but not divorced at the time). Thanks.

The service I have received is amazing! My contact is just excellent and works hard to find me wonderful matches and dating times that are able to work around my difficult schedule. I have not found my soul mate yet, but I have great optimism with the ladies I have met recently! I would never have met such amazing ladies without the help of IJL! I cannot thank my contacts enough for all they have done and their superior service!

My husband and I were married on June 17, 2012, about two and a half years after meeting though IJL. I had been using IJL for about 5 months, but my husband had already been a member for over a year. We hit it off immediately, and ended our first date with plans to go out again the following weekend. The ladies at IJL were always so nice and easy to talk to. They are really dedicated to finding the best match. I would definitely recommend IJL to anyone who has tried internet dating unsuccessfully. Better yet, skip the internet all together and call IJL first!

I recently renewed my membership with IJL due to the excellent customer service provided by Brenda. Brenda exhibits passion in her position and genuinely cares about her clients and their success in matchmaking. I have had the opportunity to work with other agencies prior to IJL and Brenda’s superior service sets IJL apart from the competition. I would recommend IJL due to Brenda's passion, drive, and great customer service.

I have worked with the It’s Just Lunch Dallas office on and off for the last three years, and it has been absolutely terrific. I have been introduced to many nice ladies and have enjoyed the dates that I get set up on. There is nothing that I would change about the process to make it better.

Joining It's Just Lunch was overall a very personal and positive experience. They listened to me when I gave my feedback about my dates to continue improving and making better selections for me. On my third match, IJL set me up with my now fiance. We are getting married this March and I couldn't be happier.

The folks at IJL did exactly what they said they were going to do. My fiance was my first match but I liked the professionalism with the whole process. They listened to me when I started this process and I could not ask for better results. I have recommended IJL to many others and will continue to do so.

I had been divorced for a few years and was ready to start dating again, but I didn't know where to start. I had heard about It's Just Lunch through the grapevine and thought I would give it a try. So far, the experience has been a lot of fun! IJL has introduced me to so many great guys from around the metroplex that I never would have met!

Poor customer service - The second star is only because my current dating director Obed has been very good to work with. Near the end of my contract with IJL, I was actually going on dates that were good matches. Dating directors kept changing, and each new one was less familiar with my profile, and my needs. When I tried to contact the person who signed me up, I did not get a call back; neither did I receive an email reply. I was not angry. I had been polite, and specific about what I expected. I was just hoping to be the recipient of great customer service.

I just want to express my sincere thank you to Brandes and all the other very skilled, hardworking, and personable staff at this organization. I only am very familiar with Brandes who I cannot say enough good things about. She would be an asset to any organization she would ever serve.

I've been with It's Just Lunch for little over half a year, and for the most part, I've been very happy! The dating directors I have are George and Ryan. They do their best to get me what I'm looking for. It's funny, but I've noticed that in the beginning, it was a learning process for them, and for myself. Every match I've met I've learned to what I like in a woman, and what I would like to avoid. And I always have looked to give them hits to what I would like them to concentrate on, like the height of a woman. George is very easy to get a hold of and he always returns my emails and phone calls. I've noticed that he pays attention to the reviews that I send on each of my matches. Out of the two, he has gotten me the most matches. Ryan is always nice to work with but I would like to see more of match output from him.

I've had a great experience with this service and my reps George and Ryan. While no dating service can guarantee love, I feel It's Just Lunch did a great job in setting me up with a variety of people. All different, but in every case I could see why George and Ryan thought they'd be a good match for me. They put real thought into these matches. They didn't just match me up with random people in my area which has been great. I would highly recommend.

Maurice has set me up with many beautiful, intelligent and amazing women to date. Sure I can find and date women on my own, but Maurice and IJL introduced me to women I wouldn't otherwise meet. Maurice has been extremely professional while also being personable. He takes the time to get to know what really matters to me and I'm sure you, clients. If all your clients listen to him, they will be treated to exactly what they want - a wonderful dating experience. Tia** recently met me up on a date. She is a true blessing of a woman and we are thoroughly enjoying each day together and creating a wonderful future. I highly recommend and have recommended IJL and Maurice to any and all my single friends and family.

I entered into a service agreement with the company. It’s Just Lunch at the cost of $2100.00 to arrange meal meetings between myself and single women in which we both have similar interests and goals in life. Before contracting for their services, they explained procedures, which they would deliver to me. I was told that they would match my profile with women looking for my qualities and attributes and interests in life.

After five dates, my experience with It's Just Lunch has been at a satisfaction. I have enjoyed all five of my dates, but I have never heard back from any one of them. I'm not sure how your criteria are for choosing someone, but it doesn't seem to be leading to any long term relationships. I do hope my experience in Jacksonville will be better.

I was with a matchmaker named Amber for about five months and then a couple of months ago, you guys switched to JaviR. Great move for your company. I was very unhappy before this change was made. Amber never returned calls and was not interested in getting to know the clients and what they are looking for.

Do not believe these people. They are not looking out for you or what you want. You are passed from person to person. Dates are cancelled with no consequence. They don’t personally email you. Everything is a form; they will only talk over the phone so there is no trail. It takes multiple emails and calls to get someone on the phone. They just take your money and lock you into a contract. Do not sign up!

The service is outdated in that you can't see your matches before they are set up. Therefore, the matches are based on common interest and not chemistry. Although chemistry is something that cannot be matched from paper, it did seem that the matches made for me were based more on age than on actual compatibility. I did drive about an hour to meet my dates, and in the year I was at IJL, I didn't feel any of the men were candidates for long-term relationships. Overall, this form of dating did not work out for me, but it doesn't mean it couldn't for someone else. If you live in a big city and close to where your dates will be arranged, then do it if you have the expendable income. Otherwise, join some clubs and organizations.

The dates that I went on seemed to be based on whoever fit into my age bracket, not based on how we would get a long or anything IJL talks about when you first discuss joining. Shame on me for not checking out this site to get a better understanding of what I was in for. I do not live in a large city, so my dates were from other cities, and we both would drive 45+ minutes to get to the date. I have to tell you every one of my dates were not anything like I described I was looking for. On several of the dates, we would joke about the company and talk about how we thought we were getting played.
