It's Just Lunch Reviews

My acute date coordinator!! Working hard to find the right match for me! Always accessible and perceptive to my needs!

I feel that your company really do care about their customers, and tries to make things work out. That means a lot to me. Thanks so much.

My dating director, Nika, is responsive, understands what I am looking for, and provides accurate descriptions of my upcoming dates. It is great to date in a low pressure environment and meet some interesting & fun ladies.

This is definitely a tough process but this company is definitely about quality. They take their time to make sure your next date is great. My director also has great communication skills. Always keeping me informed on what is going on.

I am very glad to have Fay back. She is a great listener and gets the job done.

The IJL staff has been nothing but professional, courteous, and helpful. The women I've been set up on dates with have been attractive, pleasant, and intelligent. However, I've had mixed results when it came to connecting with them. I remain cautiously optimistic.

I need to go on lots more dates per month. I do want to say the three gentlemen I have met in 6 weeks have all been really good people. I liked each one and that is impressive. I want to have more dates and did pay for a membership a long time ago and want it reactivated as I had no dates. I look forward to meeting Mr. Right on It's Just Lunch because the men are good.

My IJL coaching session was really helpful feedback. It is hard to know if you're inadvertently behaving in a way that is misunderstood and therefore unattractive or showing unintentional 'red flags' on a date. It was really easy speaking with my coach, Sheri. She was warm, friendly and made me feel comfortable with expressing my experience in addition to receiving feedback from my previous dates. Ultimately, this helped me to realize that while I hadn't met the right guy just yet, that I hadn't been doing anything unintentional or inadvertent. It helped to talk about the reasons why I didn't believe my dates had been good matches in a way that didn't make me feel like I was being "judgmental". I felt that Sheri really understood where I was coming from and this gave me more confidence in moving forward. The following date after my coaching session was my best date yet!

I have been working with IJL for several months, lately with Mitch. He is very helpful and quite enthusiastic, and makes the whole process of meeting new people fun. I recommend IJL as a convenient and effective way to meet people with the interests and qualities that match you.

Peta has been lovely to work with. She takes into consideration my particular requests in a match and is always looking out for a good match. Nice to have her assigned to my account!

Would not waste money on this business. They "Hook" you in with a sample profile of the type of people they will introduce you to. Never met a person that was in anyway similar to the "this is the type of people you will meet" profile. For a few of my dates I found that they did not have the details of the person they set me up with right. One was even a habitually unemployed "professional". Despite their claim that they could get you out on as many dates as you had time for, they do not follow thru on this philosophy. It is more a - "you've already had one match this month, just wait". It almost seems like they keep a list by last set up and age group and match blindly that way.

I have been working recently with Mitch on my dates. He is awesome and has a great sense of humor. He is very professional and courteous. I look forward to more dates being set up by him!!

I think Nika is great. We have had frank discussions and made sure that we understood the best way to reach other and she definitely has met my expectations. I also will share that this is a service that you need to participate in by being up front about what you like/don't like and how you want things to go. I got off to a rocky start, but I am going on my third date Saturday and the people I have met have exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this service to a friend.

I experienced a great coaching session with Sheri **. She provided specific feedback that will help me have a better dating experiences.

I like working with Mitch at It's Just Lunch. He has a good personality and is always very positive and encouraging about upcoming dates. I'm looking forward to more great dates and meeting more great guys.

Mitch at IJL has been extremely enjoyable to work with. Very caring and personable interaction and he has worked hard to find good solid matches for me. Mitch has had excellent follow-up and is always interested in the goods and the not-so goods in all my dates. I look forward to continuing to work with Mitch and IJL!

My dating coaching session with Sheri was fantastic. She listened to and addressed all my concerns and provided me with positive and helpful feedback about my dating behaviors. After talking to her, I feel reinvigorated about the dating process. Thanks, Sheri!!

I have enjoyed working with Mitch and I have had two really fun dates. Look forward to meeting more great women and working with Mitch.

It is great idea for busy working people. To find someone that is interested in serious relationships. The more detailed you are about someone that you are looking for the better the server is.

This was a pretty new process for me, but I am glad to say that the people at It's Just Lunch have made this a painless process. I enjoy hearing about my new dates and meeting new people. At first I was skeptical about dating, but I am glad I've made this decision. Thank you to everyone involved.

I have been, in a short period of time, with It's Just Lunch. For my experience with this location in Cleveland, I am very happy with the service they provide. It is not only that they provide profession service, but also they listen to you and provide the matches you want. For a person with little time for dating, it will be a great choice.

I have had a wonderful experience with the Professionals at It's Just Lunch. I have met many nice, intelligent and interesting men. My experience has been extremely enjoyable and I would recommend this service to all single professionals. Thank you.

At first I wasn't pleased but as time went on it got a lot better. Sheri has been a wonderful coach. I think Phabienne may have found my type.

I have had some horrible experiences with some of my "dating directors", but the only saving grace has been Debbie **. Debbie has been helpful and has really taken the time to get to know me and what I want. The rest of the team I have dealt with sucks, but get Debbie ** and you will enjoy your experience.

For the most part I have had a great experience with the women set up for me. They have all been nice and what I am looking for. Alisha has been doing great and getting what I look for. I like the changes that IJL has made.

I signed up for a 3-month membership for its just lunch. I am a successful businesswoman that just ended a 2-year relationship and wanted to date. The initial call was with a director. She seemed to know what she was talking about enough to sell me a membership. Every time I spoke with someone after that, it sounded like a joke. The girls, and I mean girls on the phone, didn't even know what I was looking for. They gave me the same Impression I get from the minimum wage girl behind the counter at my tanning salon. Aside from annoying, I trusted that for 1500 dollars, I would get matched with people that had interests on my list.

My time spent with Sheri was informative, insightful and helpful. She covered the dating process in general terms from the beginning of a date to the very end. She also let me know what I could do to make the time spent with a match beneficial to both parties. The constructive critiques I received that pertained directly to my dates and their impressions of me were a great tool to help me understand how people perceive me and how I can grow and become a better person as a single woman in a crazy world! Thanks a ton!

I've now been a member of It's Just Lunch for a few months now, and I couldn't be happier with it. It really has been everything I've wanted in a dating service. I like it that it's an "old-school" type of matchmaking service, where you get set up on dates by real people. Plus my dating counselor, Sheri, has been very helpful in getting to know me and giving me feedback. I would recommend It's Just Lunch to anyone who wants a more personalized dating experience.

My initial dealings with IJL were pretty frustrating because of lack of communication and the change in personnel looking after my account without forewarning. However since Nika took over and introduced herself and listened to my concerns, things have definitely improved. Nika was swift and caring in setting up new matches and provided good details on each match in advance of my dates.

Just a word about my IJL experience. I've enjoyed working with all the staff of IJL. Peta has been someone that I can count on to introduce me to some very wonderful women. I can't say enough kind words about her and the entire staff.

Mandy was my director and contact with IJL. She was professional, diligent in searching for matches for me, and a pleasure to deal with. She was always pleasant with a positive attitude. In my eyes, she was the best dating mentor. Highly recommend her.

I have been a member 3 times. I really enjoyed the first experience, not so much on the second. The 3rd is moving along well and I am building a communication with the councilor to dial in on my likes and dislikes. It has been getting better and she does listen to my concerns, likes and dislikes. It helps to be very clear on what you like or want or what you want to avoid. Part of it is the looks but it is also about the lifestyle. I am looking forward to my next introduction.

Ashley ** and the IJL team has done a great job of providing matches based on my interests!

I have been with IJL for almost a year now. I have experienced great service by Kate ** and she is always very helpful to get me out on my next date. She has done a really good job of matching up my interests/activities, etc. in her dates that she is recommending for me.

I have really enjoyed working with Peta. However before her, I have twice tried to get a refund, and have found IJL staff to rarely return their email, and at times have been rude. If you like, I am happy to share names with you. Again, Peta has been an exception as she is trying very hard!

I wasn't really happy with the IJL service for Calgary and Edmonton areas for various reasons: very delayed responses to my inquiries, sometimes no response at all; my first date was not of my preference in terms of ethnicity; I was told he is a great guy (and he was!), but physically I wasn't attracted, as I expected; to date after being with IJL for more than 16 months I was provided with 4 out of 5 dates due a misbalance in IJL male/female clientele, which is obviously shows IJL inability to be honest with their customers about their ability to deliver. However, since Michelle was assigned on my case, she arranged my latest date with Alfred in 24 hours. Moreover, this lady responds to my emails within 2 hours - finally, I am getting a quality service. Thank you, Michelle!

Peta has acted as my dating director on several occasions now and it has been a pleasure working with her. She is thoughtful, listens and acts on my feedback. I can't complain about any of the matches she has picked for me. She is always positive and upbeat on the phone.

Obed, since this was my last date, I want to thank you for your time, effort and professionalism. I enjoyed being associated with IJL and would recommend it to anyone. The very best to you.

I am very Happy with IJL. My coordinator Lisa is the Best. She has introduced me to some wonderful people. I work a lot and don't have a lot of free time. Lisa has worked with my schedule and has brought back my dating life. Thank You!

I've had a positive dating experience with IJL and Sharry **. Sharry is always working on the best match for me. She is attentive to my feedback and tries to incorporate that into the next meeting.

I have had some good dates through It's Just Lunch, and some excellent ones too. Some are better than others; however, most make for at least a nice evening or afternoon out, even if they do not lead to more. While some matches were not quite my types despite being really likeable people overall, I've also kept in touch with a few of the more outstanding ladies I've met. I aspire to meet a naturally beautiful, compatible, substantive, cerebral, humorous, interesting, feminine and vivacious woman. Hopefully, IJL might prove to be one of the possible paths to reach that paramount goal!

This has been a wonderful experience so far. I have been working with Kate, who is fantastic. She listens to everything that I say, both positives and concerns, and is always available on the phone when I need her. The process has been very positive, with some dates that were aligned very close to what I am looking for/hoping for.

Josh has been great. He listens to me and takes my requirements into consideration when choosing who to match me with. I'm looking forward to meeting the person that he has most recently matched me with. It's such a relief to have someone taking the awkwardness and frustration out of getting to the 1st date. I just don't have time to do it and a really grateful that Josh takes his job so seriously!!! Thanks Josh!

This is my second time with IJL. The second go around has been awful. After complaining, Michelle has been my coordinator and I have started to meet some better guys who I'm more in line with. Michelle has been good in hearing what I've said I'm looking for and trying to achieve it. No luck as of yet, but I remain hopeful.

I have been using IJL for the past 6 months. The experience is exactly what I was looking for. They do all of the legwork and match me with the type of person I want to date. I haven't found my perfect mate yet, but IJL makes meeting the right type of person easy and fun.

Very helpful staff for the most part. Good matches, and they pay attention to what you ask for. Many staff seem to really care about you finding a match, etc.

Mandy has been an incredibly warm, engaging and professional dating consultant. She pays close attention to detail and is very responsive to my needs and is available to answer any questions I might have. I appreciate her diligence to helping me meet my dating objectives.

I'm in my mid 60s and reside in Mesa, AZ. I joined IJL from another online dating group. My luck at meeting women was nil; my average was below the Mendoza Line. Of the gals that I met, most have more problems than I. From my perspective, I do not need to compound my issues / character defects.

I thought the staff at IJL were always professional. I worked with Ali and Dascha and was impressed by their attention to detail and their patience.

Amazing experience and service! Highly recommend it.

I have been quite satisfied with my IJL experience. Initially I was feeling rather neglected by the system but now that I am working with my new coordinator Josh I feel like I am in excellent hands. He is very personable and seems to have taken a real interest in my experience and hopeful happy outcome. I look forward to more dating introductions.

I strongly feel as if this has been a good investment. My coordinator and I have a great understanding. She listens and delivers.

I have worked with Mitch on IJL. He has been timely, friendly, personable and very helpful in making this an enjoyable process. He makes this a fun way to meet new people. I'd recommend the service and Mitch to anyone.

I appreciate all the hard work the girls at IJL have done to set me up with dates!! Dating is personal, right? So it makes all the difference to have real people helping you find that special someone. I would also like to mention that Ali has been doing a great job coordinating dates and getting me out with attractive ladies. She is professional, on top of things, and has been a real pleasure to work with. Thanks again to Ali and everyone at IJL for all you do!!

I enjoy working with Rodney, Ethan, and Charlotte in the New York City office. I have found that the matches they have given me have been with interesting, intelligent women. I feel it's only a matter of time before they send me the perfect match I'm looking for.

I was truly impressed by the quality of the dating coaching session. Sheri was not only kind and very professional, but she was also knowledgeable and offered great advice. She also took the time to really listen to my concerns. Great experience!

Just want to say that I enjoyed the service IJL provides. I joined because I... Like many... wanted to meet some quality women, who were classy, smart, mature and women I could relate to and enjoy a lunch or drink and have a nice conversation. I did not go into this with any further expectations. If I would have met someone I really would've connected with... then perhaps something more could've come out of it... but was realistic about this and ended up being very satisfied. The ladies at IJL were very nice and easy to work with and provided me with some good quality dates. I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for people that they can truly relate with that sometimes are hard to find. Just keep your expectations real. Thanks for the time....

So far, I have been set up with 4 or 5 dates; none even came close to what I would have chosen on my own. One date was botched up -- my date never was notified of the final arrangements. That said, I would like to express my deep appreciation for the professionalism and courtesy exhibited by one of the directors -- Mandy. My dealings with her have always been highly satisfactory and pleasant. Thank you.

My most recent date was a 10. He was a great guy, and we had so much in common. I'm certainly looking forward to my next one.

I have had 6 dates now over a 9-month period. All 6 have gotten something out of all the dates and varied experiences which I think is a good thing. There has been something positive about each date. I truly recommend this service versus something like Match.com because you make the meeting experience easy, more professional and legitimate, and take some of the game work out of the new dating experience.

I have had a great time with It's Just Lunch. I have met several great and attractive ladies. My dating director Phabienne has done a great job and I would highly recommend trying it's Just Lunch to meet the lady you are looking for. They are the best!

Thank you to everyone at IJL for all the great experiences meeting diverse new people.

Had a very productive session with IJL's dating coach, Sheri. She provided very practical and actionable advice to improve my approach to dating. Was definitely worth the time.

I like IJL and I think it is because I was able to find someone who took the time to really understand me and what kind of person I would like to meet. That person is Josh and it took speaking with few matchmakers who contacted me until he contacted me with a match. Josh takes his time in order to get a grasp of what makes me tick, my values, my life story and how and why this drives my standards in terms of who I would like to meet. He has made a lot of efforts to coordinate a date with a woman currently in France who seems to be a really good match for me. I really appreciate this kind of effort and it creates trust between me and Josh.

IJL has done a good job matching me with others and setting the stage for a good relationship.

Great concept. It is all about the right dating consultant. Since Sharry started I have been very pleased with her attentive communication and her good matches. Love working with her. Thank you.

Everybody is familiar with the inherent uncertainty involved in dating. One finds themselves wondering, "What kind of first impression am I making on a date?" or "Is there something I could improve upon to help me put my best self forward?" IJLs coaching sessions take actual feedback from your date partner and construct helpful suggestions, as well as providing general dating advice. I found it very helpful!

I had a really great experience. I came from elove which was not so great! In a nutshell I was made comfortable with the transition from elove to it's just lunch. Most importantly I met the most amazing love through your company and we are so happy! We are getting married next year!!!!! A special thank you to Erica and Megan!!!

I've been a client with It's Just Lunch for a couple of years. Finding that special person took me a little longer than I thought it would however, Abby, Brenna, and Stephanie from Minneapolis were very helpful during the entire process! Thanks again!

IJL delivers on their promise. Amanda and the Team have been indispensable in rounding out my social life with new, high quality, fun relationships. I would and have recommended IJL to friends.

It's been a tough for me. I'm a private person but I'm working through it with the help of Obed and staff.

I have been a member of IJL since early May and Mandy has scheduled many dates for me. Mandy has taken the time to get to know what type of women I am attracted to and has done a good job of introducing me to women that match my profile. The restaurants that Mandy has selected for my dates have also been great. Finally, Mandy's enthusiasm is infectious and she is a pleasure to work with.

I received several points about my approach to the dating interview with a prospective partner. Conversations are easy to start and keeping them light and focused help you learn about the person you are with. It was important for me to learn not to divulge medical conditions early as they could create a negative environment. Keep things short, breezy, and positive. Compliment your date as appropriate.

All of the people working at IJL have been very helpful and very enthusiastic about the search to find matches for me. I definitely believe that this service is a great way to meet people that have the qualities and interests that you are looking for in a person and it is very convenient as you don't have to go out and look for the people yourself. Overall I have had a very good experience during my subscription to IJL. Thanks!

Sheri was great to talk to. As far as coaching my dating experience I feel I'm fairly confident however it's good to brainstorm and hear some advice that I might not have known. I think the issue and I believe Sheri would agree that I'm not getting set-up with the right match. I have either been set-up with someone that we have nothing in common, doesn't know what he wants in a relationship or he is still married. Overall I feel I have not had much luck on IJL. My membership ends in September so just maybe Mr. Right might happen?!? I have weaved out all the bad ones....possibly I might find the right one and IJL will end in a fairy tale for me?? Hope so!

Had a great first date thru IJL and look forward to moving forward. Highly recommend the service.

I have enjoyed my experience with IJL. They try very hard to get you dates that you will like. When you meet them in person, they may not be what you hoped for because it is different once you meet someone, but most of the time, they are very nice and have much in common. Your contact works very hard to use your comments to improve your next dates and they work with you. I like this better than an online dating service because you actually get to meet the lady and see what they are like rather than relying on a profile. They also choose nice places to go for the meetings. I have enjoyed my experience.

This is my second (or third) time with It's Just lunch. I have always liked your service. Michelle has been great to work with and really works hard at trying to zero in on what works for me and what does not. I very much like dealing with her. She is straight up and honest. I have always said good things about your service. I recommended Just Lunch to our VP today! I often meet interesting women. Sometimes I meet women who are not for me, but you don't know until you meet. I have family and friends who have met and married using your service and I think if I keep trying, I'll find the girl for me. This weekend, I'm escorting my Wednesday lunch date to her daughter's wedding! Hey you never know...

IJL is a good idea; however, they have only one city per state that you have to drive to in order to meet a date. In my case, I drove over 2 hours one way. Then, Sharry, the dating counselor, told me that I had to drive back for a short (20-35 minute) meeting to have my picture taken. I had already sent them 4 pictures and was willing to Skype or FaceTime. No, they just could not do that. Their rules are their rules, and they are very inflexible and will not make any accommodations for distance nor time. You are the customer; yet, you are treated like you are doing them a favor. Sharry would not tell me about my date except that he had grey hair and an advanced degree.

They fill you with promises of finding your soul mate, then take your money. NOTE** with a no refund policy*** and then send you on dates with people who don't meet your criteria. I could go into a lot of detail- but the bottom line is this, has been a very frustrating experience and I am now much poorer based on believing in this company. Don't buy it, don't consider it, move to another option.

My experience with IJL and Obed has been very pleasurable. The professional service and dating coordination is outstanding! I would highly suggest IJL to single individuals looking for an alternative way to meeting other single people.

IJL has provided a very good service. They have done a great job matching me with the type of women I find both attractive and interesting. I have enjoyed all the dates I have been on. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone who is trying to get into dating and out of the club scene. Thanks.

I would like to say it has been a pleasure working with Nika. She makes dating fun again. Thanks.

I will be honest, the coaches are doing a pretty good job. I have been meeting very nice ladies, but have not gone out with anybody. I was attracted to 3 of the ladies out of 5, but one had some personal problems at home. The other one I just met, we were diff as far as lifestyles, so I do believe there is somebody for everybody. It is a numbers game. The more women you see, it will rgt. I hope so.

I admit that I was skeptical at first, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised by my Dating Consultation! It helped me to confirm what I have been doing well and to review what I can improve in to make my dating experience more successful. It reminded me that dating is as much an art as it is a science. It also helped me to further build my confidence in meeting people. During the process, we discussed my approach to dating as well as specific feedback from my matches. My Dating Coach asked me some thought provoking questions that lead me to review my dating goals and helped me to reassess whether they are on target. They also offered some very constructive advice on ways for me to get the most out of my dating experiences both within and outside IJL. I am excited to put these new ideas into practice!

The customer service I receive at IJL, is outstanding! The effort put forth by the staff is second to none. They actually care about each and every individual they match you up with. Whether it leads to a second date or just friendship, there's no one I have been disappointed with. I would recommend them to any of my Single friends..

My experience has been OK. I don't believe that IJL is give their customers what they sell. The follow up and coaching is not as I expected. I rated my experience satisfied only because of my dating director, Obed. He is working very hard to meet my expectations in finding the match that fits my expectations. He is very concerned and works very hard to get good matches for me. He follows up when I need something. He is doing a good job!

There are missing ingredients in the IJL format. There should be at least one photo of the selected match provided before the investment of time. It might also be a good idea to set up a third party system wherein the people who are being matched by an IJL advisor can speak by phone. Technically, this would be easy to manage.

The IJL dating director has been working hard finding me dates. I've been enjoying meeting with the people the dating director has introduced to me.

I love the chat and exp, great service.

This was one of the worst dating services including the internet that I have experienced. I specified where I wanted to date and I received dates from 30 miles away. Dates from women that had nothing in common with me. When I voiced my complaints, I received no dates. Then they sent me date info when I was on vacation and when I didn't respond within 48 hours, they suspended my account. When I inquired, their attitude was...indifferent to say the least. Terrible, Terrible, Terrible. It was great through the signing up process and then once they have your money, you're screwed!

I must admit that I was at first confused about all the staff that I encountered at It's Just Lunch -- Dating Directors, Dating Coaches and so on. I thought that I might have an entourage on my dates; I have never had that and always imagined that I would be more impressive with an entourage. The coaching has been a periodic, but very useful and enjoyable service. My coach, Sheri, has always been insightful and very interactive. That is very relaxing. She has provided a wonderful opportunity to review and move forward. I appreciate this.

It's Just Lunch has provided me the opportunity to get out and get some great practice dating! I feel a sense of security with the process and it's nice to know that the person who was described to me will be the one to show up.

It's Just Lunch was the best dating avenue I chose. After being on several internet dating sites for six months with not liking the quality of people I was receiving, I decided to join It's Just Lunch. Every team member of It's Just Lunch is so easy to speak with, and is always available. I loved how they sent me a welcome email discussing everything from what to expect, suggested conversation, to feedback on your outing. My first date turned out to be everything I had told them that I wanted in a match. We are currently on our third date and still getting to know each other. Thank you It's Just Lunch!

I am a single full time dad and I work 50-70 hours a week. IJL has allowed me to meet great women who have been matched to my specific requests. My dating coordinators do all of the hard work for me. They setup the reservations and date times. All I need to do is tell them my availability and go out on great dates with women who have been selected to specifically be the type of women I am attracted to. I highly recommend Its Just Lunch to people that want to go out and date people. The long and tenuous task of weeding out online profile pictures is gone. It's Just Lunch is a great way to go out on dates instead of waiting and searching for dates.

The site is simply wonderful!!! I would recommend it to anyone looking to meet nice and thoughtful people who are busy and need a professional to help you. They are truly the group to speak with.

I've had a few coordinators since I've joined IT'S JUST LUNCH and they have all been very helpful. My current coordinator listens to what I want and is very responsive, which I like. SO FAR SO GOOD, IJL.

My last date with Sarah was a good one. We have gone out 3 times since then. I really like her and am happy. Faye set us up.

Thus far, I've enjoyed It's Just Lunch. I haven't met 'that special someone' just yet, but IJL continues to set me up on dates very regularly. I've also enjoyed eating out at some of Nashville's finer restaurants. Both of my dating coordinators have been very friendly and helpful.

Obed has done a very good job trying to rectify the MANY dissatisfied situations that have presented themselves throughout my brief IJL experience. He does a great job supporting and defending the corporate "party line" while still trying to appease me. He has worked very hard to be proactive in meeting my expectations that previously have been egregiously mishandled.

She was very pleasant, friendly, and I enjoyed speaking with her.

Debbie is wonderful! She has made my experience at IJL even better. She listens to your needs and she is truly concern about your dating experience.

I can say from personal experience that I have meet some great and interesting people that I would not otherwise been exposed to. IJL sets dates in great places that are comfortable and trendy. Overall, I rate this service "two thumbs up"!

Overall positive experience. Generally pleased with quality of matches. Biggest disappointment was the lack of members within an hours drive of Colo Springs. Coordinator Amanda was excellent and it was a pleasure working with her!

I am in St. Louis and have been using this dating service for over a year. In one year, I have been set up on FIVE dates. The first person I met admitted he has a restraining order out against him by his ex-wife's boyfriend. The last man was terribly obese and talked about himself the entire time. The other 3 have been fine, just not a match. My main complaint though is that when I signed up, I was told there are plenty of men in my area my age. However, now all they are calling me about are men 10 years older than me. This is not what I was sold on. I have asked several times for a partial refund and am told no. I feel like they told me what I wanted to hear and now that they've gotten my money, it's a different story. I was told I'm being very specific by wanting to date someone in my own age range. Mind you, my age range extends to up to 6 years older than me. Seems to be they LIE to you to tell you what you want to hear and then don't keep up their end of the bargain. Then they refuse to give you a refund. Very shady.

At first, the communication and customer service is impeccable, but after my first date, I didn't hear from anyone for 5 weeks. When I called my coordinator, Lisa **, it would take her 2 weeks to call me back. I couldn't reach a manager. After complaining, it still isn't better. They haven't matches me well at all, and they tell me things about people that are not true. I signed up almost 4 months ago and I've only been on 3 dates. Only worth about $30 a month and I paid almost $200 a month!! So disappointing!

I consider It's Just Lunch an adventure and I have had a wonderful time meeting quality people. Each date is set up with excellent communication between It's Just Lunch staff and myself. I am meeting interesting people, experiencing a new restaurant and treated well by the wait staff who always know how to help you find your date in the venue and to bring separate checks. I would recommend It's Just Lunch to anyone!

I had an extremely positive face to face interview and although I went into it feeling a little apprehensive, I ended up thoroughly enjoying it and found it to be extremely positive!

It has been a short period of time since I joined up with it's just lunch, but there has been a concerted effort to make sure I am out meeting people while still working completely with my work schedule. I am satisfied with the effort they put forth and believe I am going to meet the right person. If I were to assign a grade, it would be an A.

I recommend It's Just Lunch to anyone looking for a relationship. The personal touch is so much better than online dating! The requested feedback after each date helps narrow the search to exactly what you're looking for in a partner. After five months I've met a lot of nice people and have been to many new restaurants. And - they are still actively (and patiently) helping me find "the one."

The staff is always happy, nice, and have made me feel comfortable. Meeting quality gentlemen in south Florida is a challenge and as I do not have much spare time to go "out" in hopes of meeting someone. So IJL makes it a little easier to meet people in a cozy setting. Keep those fingers crossed for me, lol. Thank you. :)

Michelle has done a wonderful job with understanding and matching me with the type of person I'm looking for. Please pass on my sincere thanks!

I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the Milwaukee office staff. They have been true change agents in my life, listening carefully to my needs and objectives then working their match-making magic, arranging for meetings with several remarkable woman I would have never found any other way.

Vanessa is energetic, engaged and is on top of the game. She has a complete appreciation for my situation. It is a pleasure to work with her.

I'll make it short. I'll assume that the IJL and the "dating directors" actually have a system, and skill in matching people. After six "dates" I am convinced that the pool of female candidates is too small, or simply does not have enough diversity to provide a decent match for me. Not one of my matches met my criteria.

I have been with IJL now for a while and although I haven't yet met "the one", I have met some really great people along the way and would easily recommend a service like this to people that either because of work schedules or other circumstances, just don't find themselves in single-friendly environments. I've had a great time (and continue to do so...) and working with Michelle has been fantastic!

I was tired of the traditional dating sites and saw an advertisement on CNN for this. Thankfully I did. My initial interview to construct my profile was undertaken by a delightful lady who was very professional. My personal dating director is likewise very precise, courteous and has done a marvelous job in selecting dates that match my expectations. I really think that this is a great way to meet lots of great and interesting people.

My coaching session was extremely helpful! It provided me with helpful and tactical solutions for the areas I was struggling in and personal advice that was specific to me. It was worth the wait!

I thought my dating coaching session with my coach, Sheri, was very helpful in keeping my search for that right person in a positive direction. The questions that she asked were very helpful in gaining the insight of what is really important to me as well as letting her know on what to look for in that person I seek to find.

Katie at the Milwaukee office is a true asset to the organization. Each time she contacts me she is professional, positive and really excited about her role. She does a fantastic job coordinating the date and making suggestions for the meeting.

When I first joined IJL, the people that I came in contact with were professional but less than enthusiastic. Since Mitch has taken over my account, I have been delighted with his energy, friendship and insight. I believe that he is a real testament to IJL and I will not hesitate to recommend him as a "matchmaker" par excellence.

Got some great advice from the dating coach session. Really appreciated the insight into things and will try the suggestions given.

The coaching session went really well; it raised some considerations I hadn't thought of before and gave me some ideas for my next dates.

Very satisfied as there is no way I would ever encounter such amazing young ladies on my own. My contact person at IJL, Lisa, has done excellent work. After every date I tell her that her work is done.

Do you want to find true love and the end to your fairy tale? Then, run, don't even call or walk into an Its Just Lunch (IJL) office. You will be sorry. IJL will sell you down the river and tell you anything to get you to buy into the concept of meeting that special someone. I bought into the fairy tale and was shortly blind-sided by deception:

My experience working with Mitch at It's Just Lunch has been fun and I'm looking forward to more great dates and meeting more interesting and fun men.

Mitch has done a great job for me.

I've have been on a few dates. Even though I have yet to connect with someone I am looking forward to the next one with Mitch. Mitch is easy and helpful to deal with.

Mitch is a truly caring matchmaker at It's Just Lunch. He has shown me that he has true concern for my needs and is working hard to locate the best matches for me. It has been a pleasure working with Mitch.

I've had a great experience with IJL to date. The staff has all been friendly and open as to what to expect. Sharry has also been an honest and responsive dating coordinator with whom I've enjoyed discussing feedback and dating opportunities. The experience so far has provided me a great chance to meet a couple of nice and classy women that I hope to get to know better.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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