I’m joined in 2022. I have had at least 4 matchmakers, 3 of them were useless. Destinee has been the best. I have had more success with Destinee in one month than the entire two years. She responds quickly to emails and voicemails. She answers her phone when she can. She listens and doesn’t judge.

We appreciate your positive remarks about your matchmaker and are sorry you didn't enjoy your prior representatives. We thank you for being an IJL Client!

I joined IJL in January 2024. The Good: I have been on one date and have been provided 2 profiles of potential dates. My date went very well and it was nice to meet a genuinely nice guy. I feel my matchmaker listens and takes my preferences into account. The not so good: It took about 6 weeks from joining to have my first date. For the cost of the service, there is not a lot of interaction with my "matchmaker". It seems, and I may be wrong, there aren't a lot of members to give the matchmakers options to connect dates. It's very expensive (~**) for 12 months and/or 12 dates.

Hi Jenny! We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team. Thank you for choosing IJL as your partner in fun first dates!

My date was great. I had dinner and drinks with a wonderful woman. The location was good. The staff were attentive and helpful. The food order came out hot and exactly what I ordered. I would recommend "It's Just Lunch" service and I am looking forward to my next date.

Lately the dates seem to be doing IJL and I a favor by being present. I’d like to have lunch with someone interested in meeting me, great conversation, nice lunch and possibly a second date or at least phone conversation to see if we are compatible. These guys seem to have several options and no interest.

Thank you for your feedback, we will share it with the matchmaking team. Appreciate the open and honest feedback on the dates you have met, as it is an important part of the fine-tuning process. Your matchmaker will be in touch soon with your next date. Thank you for being an IJL client.

This company manipulated me from the beginning. Gayle talked me into a higher upper age limit than I would date. She didn't tell me that I was contractually bound and the age limits are not in the written contract. When I asked for it to be lowered, they refused. Most of the men they've offered are 6 to 12 years older than me. One was 4 years younger than my parents. I tried their "mediation" which is just a company man telling you they won't change anything for you because they'd have to change it for everyone. So every time they offer me someone up to 9 years older than me, it counts against me whether I go on the date or not. The mediator told me that all dates they offer you are not meant to be matches. I was shocked he said the quiet part out loud.
My match maker didn't contact me for weeks. When I was upset by that and called and emailed, their next big wig after the mediator told me that I was harassing and inappropriate and they were going to cancel my contract if I contacted them. They don't like you to do anything but tow the party line, as if you were an employee. Bottom line...they have no interest in actually matching you and only match according to age. There's no other criteria. And they do it knowing that most people only go on 6 to 7 dates of 12. That's how they make their money...when you say no. They lock you in with promises of a huge database that doesn't exist, match you with whoever pops up knowing you'll say no and they don't have to do any work, and they threaten to cancel you if you complain. Avoid this company at all costs.
Google the class action cases that they settled. That will tell you everything you need to know about this company and its tactics. There's a pattern. Please please please don't give them your money. I regret it and my only recourse is to sue, give up and let them have my money, or go on every date and share my experience with every guy that also wasted his money on them. If you already gave them your money, go on every date. At least make them work for your money. You might have a nice evening sharing experiences about the company, even if your date isn't someone you would choose.

IJL regrets you have not enjoyed your experience as this is not the norm. We disagree with the statements you have made about your membership and services provided thus far as you recently had an upcoming date scheduled that we were looking forward to, that we unfortunately had to cancel due to a dispute you filed with a 3rd party. Your account is currently on hold during that dispute process. Once there is a final outcome in the dispute, our management team will reach out to you to further discuss your concerns as client satisfaction is of the upmost importance to IJL.

When I was interested in signing up I was told my city was one of the largest dating pools (I live in Toronto Canada). I have few and far between matches we are talking 4 marches in 9 months. I'm a good looking 37 year old with a great personality and open minded about my matches. I just have restrictions around age (15 year range), that they want children, would not expect me to convert, and live within a reasonable distance (ie. Not a 1.5 hr commute away). Otherwise I am open minded about matches for me and yet they still fail to deliver. On top of that several times I have been "matched" only to find out after they are no longer available. For the $4000 I paid for this service it is a waste and they can't even match me with the very basics I listed above. They once matched me with someone who didn't know if they wanted a family and they lived a 1.5 hr commute away. You're better to spend this money joining private clubs and going to curated events.

We sorry to hear you have not enjoyed your experience thus far, this is not the norm with IJL. We will have the manager of your membership reach out to address your concerns as they are important to us. Thank you for choosing IJL and we will be in touch soon to discuss further.

Date was supposed to happen 2/2/24. I waited a half hour then told to Hostess that I was leaving and give Sam the message that I left. She told me he called to say he couldn’t make it. I never got that message. It’s not like it’s a normal occurrence. So that’s annoying. No reflection on the IJL team.

IJL has put a lot of work into finding me My Matches. They have talked to me as needed, regarding what I am want and have left, "no stone unturned..." on my behalf. I feel that this is going to be a good year (2024) for me. Happy Searching. Sincerely yours, Joey

The people that I have been matched with are all great. However, I didn't join this service for just meeting "people". I did it to meet The One for me. Many Promises were made. All embellishments...! I prefer my way of doing it by chance/fate. Being one of Eighteen Children, I will be returning to Prayer and allowing My God to make a choice for me, if it's meant to be?! Many Promises but, No Delivery!

HI Joe! At IJL we guarantee you will go out on dates, fun first dates with like minded busy professionals, which it sounds like you have met. We will take your feedback to the team and be sure to apply this to your next fun first date. Thank you!

I joined It’s Just Lunch, looking for my partner who wanted to travel the country and the world with me. Instead of finding matches who had things in common with me, I was set up with men who were in my age group But I did not have things in common with. It appeared that they just chose someone who was in the same age group, but did not do anything more to find someone who could be a match. I am extremely displeased with their service (or lack of).

I have been with It’s Just Lunch for over a year and I was very open to letting a matchmaker pick dates for me. The first guy stood me up twice. Then it took a year to get a date and he lives 3 hours away. I had multiple matchmaker while being with this service. I did not know that I had a new matchmaker until after calling repeatedly and someone would tell me oh that person is no longer with the service your new matchmaker is ______. I would love to give a positive review but I can not when it has been so bad. There is a lot of issues with the service so if you join do so with caution.

The matchmakers seem to be sincere but their management, structure and system does not work. At first I gave their system a chance, but it is not good. Their "automatic" emails do not send. One matchmaker confirmed that she needs to choose to send the emails after a date. After the dates I've never received the "how did it go" messages to update my preferences. I actively called and the matchmakers filled out the survey on my behalf. They have sent me emails saying I missed their call when I never received a call. I didn't even receive my contract until I asked multiple times. They have just assigned my third matchmaker in 5 months and I was not told when the 2nd person left.
Now it has been a week since I was told my new matchmaker would reach out. Nothing. They did not tell me different pricing options and instead I am now stuck with an expensive service & horrible matches that don't even meet the criteria I discussed with my first or second matchmakers. Only the notes from my intake are taken into consideration and some were just wrong. The criteria matched on is extremely generic. For example, they say people like going to concerts. When I asked what type of music, the matchmaker did not know. It is truly an inferior service and I've had better results on other free apps.

I inquired about IJL before covid, but I never signed up. Since then IJL has arranged several fee-free dates for me. There is no point to pay IJL anything, they will curate dates for you for free regardless. From what they have told me, they don't have enough dating prospects in all their regions.

Purchased a membership for our son as a gift after he passed the bar and moved out of state. There was supposed to be 12 dates in 12 months or less. His coordinator failed to contact him until multiple efforts on our son's part. In 12 months they set him up with one woman significantly older than him who told him at the beginning of the date, that he was too young for her. Every effort to contact the coordinator has been unsuccessful. Request for refund was refused. It is now 12 months and absolutely no communication or additional dates. We should have just flushed $** down the toilet.

Two of the dates were with men who had no interest in a serious relationship. One was looking for someone to sleep with. Another had lost his wife less than 6 months prior to our lunch date. He was sitting in a wheelchair when I met him. He asked if I would consider getting married again and told me the Pope was the most evil man in the world. BTW, I’m Catholic.

When I first signed up for It's Just Lunch I paid a significant amount of money for membership $**. And agreed to terms of $** a month for active membership and $** a month to pause my services, to protect you from paying any type of initiation fee again. I even remember orally stating that I would not agree to change in terms of price and this was recorded by them when signing up.
The written contract does not state that terms can be changed either. However, It's Just Lunch claims that it has the right set term which gives them the right to change terms to whatever they please at any time without notice or agreement. It's Just Lunch chose to increase my payments for pausing my service to $** a month. That's right. You heard me they increased my pausing service, a service that they do absolutely NO service or work by almost double my pausing service fee...

In May of 2023, I paid It's Just Lunch $ ** to introduce me to potential partners. The agreement is for 12 dates. It has been five months, and I have not met anyone. I have spoken to the company twice to ask for my money back. The response that I received was that "they are working hard" to find a date for me. Another answer is that they are "servicing me," whatever that means. I have every reason to believe I have been scammed of $** of some very hard-earned money. I want a refund, but to date, the company has refused. I am a senior citizen who feels very taken advantage of. This company cannot deliver what it promises.

IJL are friendly, give good advice, and you're not going to waste time with crypto scammers (who knew that would be a problem with internet dating?). You will only be matched with other members who have signed up and paid the (pretty hefty) fee. So if there aren't many members in your region, it becomes a waiting game. The reason for the mediocre score is if you don't find the service to be working for you, they don't let you cancel. This is somewhat frustrating.

I subscribed to membership with It's Just Lunch with very high hopes and expectations. I was excited about the format and opportunity to meet new people and go on dates. Immediately following the first date, the experience was nothing but horrendous. It's Just Lunch charged a very high membership fee and included a no refund policy in their agreement. They also included in their agreement that "All Dates will be within the criteria provided by Client at the time of joining with respect to age, religion and parental status." One of my criteria, as related to parental status, was that I did not want to date someone who wanted kids. On my very first date I was matched with someone who wanted kids.
For a service as costly as It's Just Lunch (** for 6 dates), a single date has a very high value and I believe strongly that they wasted a lot of my time and money on this. Rather than immediately walking away from the program, I tried reaching out to their customer service to discuss and address this discrepancy. What ensued afterwards was a 30 day struggle to try to get a hold of anyone who address my complaint. I sent multiple emails and made multiple phone calls, all of which were unanswered. Following this terrible customer service, I determined that I had no faith in this business and its ability to deliver agreed upon services. I spent the next 30 going through the chain of command in request for a refund. I was denied at every point, even though I had clear and documented proof of their failure to deliver on agreed upon services and their terrible example of customer service and response.
After being rejected by even their top executive, I resorted to my credit card company to reverse the charges. Not having a legal standing to do so, they sided with IJL, but that decision does not take away from IJL's unethical business practices. I am pursuing action through the BBB, Department of Consumer Affairs and The Federal Trade Commission in an attempt to receive a refund that is clearly due. I would never recommend anyone to engage in business with It's Just Lunch. Their customer service and business practices are among the worst I have ever experienced. Hopefully, my pursuant actions to receive a refund will be successful.

We appreciate your feedback, however, disagree with your statements. IJL provided the services to you as outlined in the membership agreement. You had a fantastic date, 3 hours long, with the individual you accepted and exchanged numbers.

This is going to be a roller coaster, so buckle up! (If you don’t want to read the whole thing- sparknotes version: DO NOT use It's Just Lunch. I would leave ZERO stars if I could.) I was absolutely amped to try this dating service. They market themselves well. My initial consultation was with a bubbly, enthusiastic and positive woman named Lauren. Lauren convinced me to pay an obscene amount of money for 12 months of their service because she promised there were so many eligible bachelors in my area matching the description I gave them. I was pretty open. Seeking a male ages 28-38 (I’m 30) who is educated and fun and kind. I’m looking for someone at least a little bit taller than me (I’m tall, 5’8”) and someone with a career and life aspirations. Someone who has their life together and is ready for a mature, serious relationship.
Lauren listened and had wonderful follow up questions and assured me these men definitely exist in my area. It broke down to about $** a date. With all that money I was spending, I assumed meals would be compensated (at least a bit) but they weren’t. IJL sent us to some of the most expensive restaurants in the area (which is not the kind of $ I’m trying to spend on a first date). I was “matched” with a couple people early on... Who were quite outside the range (either age/ height/looks/ oh the life path I’m seeking) from what I had explicitly asked for… but my “matchmaker” (a socially awkward man named Shawn) bullied me into meeting them- “it’s the connections that you take a risk on are the ones that work out best!,” he said.
Truthfully, each date IJL set me up with was more and brutal. I am a successful business owner, I own a beautiful home in town, I am a strong confident woman, I take my physical and mental health very seriously and I present myself professionally and elegantly. I was met with boys who presented poorly, couldn’t hold conversations, lived at home with their parents (nothing wrong with that but I’m at a different phase in my life), had no dining manners, didn’t ask me any questions about myself (even after I asked them numerous thought provoking questions).
Quite frankly, these men are the kind of guys who “think the tinder/ hinge/ bumble algorithm doesn’t work for them.” I found myself struggling to have anything in common with these individuals. I was notttt having a good time. Occasionally, I would be given options for men in their 40s or men with children from previous relationships. Both of those options are not on the table for me but I kept getting pressured by various “matchmakers” to meet them. “He’s such a great guy!” I was even told once to my face that I’m being shallow and picky… Eventually I found out that another girl I’m friendly with had also recently signed up for IJL… We compared our “dates” and they were all with the exact same people in the area…. So there is clearly ZERO “matchmaking” being done here… It’s just you get paired up with random humans who are close by that are also in their system.
At this point I was furious and tried to reach out to Lauren. I emailed and called many many times. Finally I got the picture, she had ghosted me. I think Shawn must’ve quit or gotten fired… so I was bounced from matchmaker to matchmaker (all of whom didn’t know me nor took any time to get to know me or my preferences) sending me increasingly sparse yet increasingly unappealing matches.
I then had a month-long family emergency where I was away from my phone and e-mail the entire time. When I got back, I found that my multi-thousand dollar account with IJL had been FROZEN due to inactivity. At this point I just wanted my money back… But it looks like that is not in the cards. I haven’t received any correspondence back from anyone when I bring up canceling my service. I would not recommend It’s Just Lunch “matchmaking” to anyone who is actually looking to be matched with someone with any value as a human being. That may sound harsh but I am a high achieving woman looking for my counterpart. You will certainly not find that here. Spend your money elsewhere, hun!!!

Nika, we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your experience. IJL provided the 12 dates to you, 10 of which you decided not to meet.

I have been with IJL for 4 LONG years. I was told upfront that there were men in my area that were to my specifications. It was a big lie. I've had 2 dates in 4 years. The last guy is being used by IJL to fill their dating quota. He told me so. He was being sent on dates because there weren't any men in my area to date and especially the quality I was told there was. He was nice but not to my requests. He was 10 years younger, not college educated, out of shape and shorter than me. He told me that he had never seen a picture of me and didn't know anything about me. He said the same was of the last date he had. He wasn't required to pay the expensive amount of money (in the thousands) like I was. He was recruited by IJL.
If they are going to recruit people for dates, they should at least send someone that is what you were asking for. I saw two small pictures that weren't even clear. It is as if he is being used as a gigolo for the company! It was humiliating for me! If you say "NO THANK YOU" to a so called "match" that they send to you to give the go ahead to go on a date, they count it against you as one of your dates!! They didn't ever in 4 years send me anyone to my contract requests! I just went on the first date to be respectful of the company. My second date was fake. I feel this company has no integrity.

Several key criteria that were non-negotiable included sharing my faith, being strong/masculine, and physically fit (not being overweight or beyond). First date was mediocre, the “matchmakers” learning my type for what I find attractive. He was a nice guy, but nothing I wanted to pursue. This was fine and what I expected.
Second, date was a total disaster and I was embarrassed to be on this date. Not only was this person incredibly shy and couldn’t carry a conversation but also physically he was the exact opposite body type I said was important to me. Couldn’t leave the date fast enough. Third date was equally miserable. I was again paired with someone incredibly weak and shy who couldn’t hold a conversation. The number of awkward pauses was unbearable. Fourth date, I was actually paired with someone who had a decent personality but physically again the wrong body type. Fifth date, I was again paired with someone who was weak, nerdy/geeky (which I had expressly stated I was not attracted to) and timid who couldn’t carry a conversation.
Following the fifth date, I was beyond angry at not being listened to for what I needed in a match. The matchmaker pawned off the next potential match to a brand new matchmaker to try to pair me with. As I dug deeper into who this match was, I found out not only was he nerdy/geeky but also not my physical body type. At this point, I was beyond angry, spoke with a supervisor, and paired with a different matchmaker. This new matchmaker tried to pair me with someone who was divorced which was a dealbreaker for me.
For the final & 6th date, I was paired with someone who again was a decent guy but he didn’t share my faith. And, he was honest enough to inform me that the matchmakers had informed him that faith wasn’t a dealbreaker for me which was a complete lie. So, the matchmaker wasted his time and mine. This service only cares about the money you give them & fulfilling their contractual obligation for the minimum number of first dates they have to supply. But they could care less on who they pair you with for those dates. Don’t waste your time or money with them.

My experience with with IJL and more specifically Tanya has been mostly positive. She is pretty good at letting me know when I had a date., and keeping me informed to what was going on. The one main criticism I have is when I was set up with a possible date, than all of a sudden it gets canceled a few days later. It was a very deflating and frustrating experience. I did not even know the reasons why the date was canceled.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

The matches have been far and few in between and a little slower than I imagined; but I’m being patient they will find the BEST choices possible for me. This method of dating has forced me to look and think outside my usual box and although I haven’t been physically attracted to them, the matches have been for the most part in line with what are the most important characteristics and attributes and for me. Since being assigned to Tanya as my matchmaker, communication has greatly improved. I feel she listens to my concerns. My hope is Tanya is truly vested in finding suitable and true matches for me. I look forward to meeting more matches.

I must say, my experience with It's Just Lunch (IJL) took a complete 180-degree turn, all thanks to the amazing Trisha R. Initially, I was quite disheartened with the service and had reached a point where I was ready to give up on the whole idea. But then, along came Trisha, and she completely changed my perspective on the company and the entire matchmaking process. Trisha is an absolute gem! From the very first interaction, she made me feel like I was more than just a client; she treated me like a friend. Her warmth and genuine care were evident in every conversation we had. Trisha took the time to truly understand what I was looking for in a partner and didn't just focus on setting up "next dates." She understood that finding the right match is about much more than just going through the motions.
One thing I really appreciated about Trisha was her ability to ask thought-provoking questions. She went beyond the surface level and delved into what truly mattered to me in a relationship. It was evident that she was dedicated to finding a partner who would complement my personality and values. What sets Trisha apart is her enthusiasm and energy. The matchmaking process can be quite daunting, but Trisha made it exciting and enjoyable. Every time she called, I couldn't help but get excited. Her bubbly nature was contagious, and it really lifted my spirits during the entire journey. Honestly, I can't help but wonder why I didn't have Trisha sooner. She has completely changed my perception of IJL, and I am now confident that I made the right decision in choosing their service. Trisha has a talent for what she does, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have her as my matchmaker.
Thanks to Trisha's dedication and personal touch, I am now looking forward to each step of this process, and I genuinely believe that she will help me find the perfect partner. IJL is indeed fortunate to have Trisha on their team because she single-handedly saved them from a potentially critical review from me. I highly recommend Trisha R and It's Just Lunch to anyone seeking a genuine and delightful matchmaking experience. Kudos to Trisha for turning things around and making this journey worthwhile!

Where do I start? The whole thing is a scam. They’re really nice, responsive and curious before you pay. As soon as you do, you go to the back of the line. Let me go into some details. I am 6'2, very fit, I don’t like to toot my own horn, but for the sake of the argument, You can call me good looking, lol. I work hard and I don’t have time to go out anymore, I do not like the idea of having an online profile. So I gave this guys a shot. And what a mistake. They basically make you feel crappy about yourself and undateable, between bad dates, not responding to your emails. Your calls, canceling dates last minutes. Hook, line and sinker. It’s a real understatement.
I’m not even that demanding or asking for for a 10 or a trophy blonde, I was very realistic and compromising. All asked for, is a decent human being and physically compatible. And what do you know, every match was a complete disaster., I don’t want to be insensitive, please use your imagination… they basically match you with anyone just to make their quota, I end up denying a lot of them which by the way counts against you. (You get 12 dates every time you deny a match for any reason it counts against you. You need to understand this before you sign up). That’s the scam they don’t tell you. Please don’t do the same mistake. stay away.

Matchmaking has to be a difficult and thankless job. People come into it with a lifetime of disappointments, guarded hearts fighting with hope. Bryanna has done an excellent job of listening and her picks have been good, interesting men. None have turned out to be a really right one, but they’ve all been enjoyable dates. I like working with her. One of these days she’s apt to strike a homer.

Matchmaking can be a challenging and often underappreciated profession. It requires a deep understanding of people's desires, hopes, and past disappointments. It's no easy task to navigate the complexities of human relationships. In the world of matchmaking, it's important to remember that every connection made, regardless of the outcome, can provide valuable experiences and insights. Each date brings an opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and a chance to refine one's preferences. So, while the journey may have its ups and downs, it's worth embracing the process and maintaining hope for that perfect match in the future.

I was led to believe - according to my sales representative and my contract - that I would have 12 guaranteed "dates". I was led to believe these would be 12 in-person dates. Turns out if you are presented with a potential date (via email) and say, "No thank-you" that opportunity actually counts as one of your "dates". They now use the term "dating opportunities" to get around this.
I would not recommend this service at all however if you have already made this purchase, I would ask them to define that phrase because they won't volunteer this information. This term was never used during my purchase transactions nor at any time in my multiple conversations with their "coaching" reps. Nor was this arrangement ever explained to me that I had 12 "opportunities". I was always led to believe I would have 12 guaranteed in-person dates.
Furthermore, this restriction is not outlined in my contract nor does the term "dating opportunities" even exist in my contract (I believe they made changes since I signed up - without telling current members). In fact, when I signed up they assured me I could say "no" to a potential date and my contract would not end until I had 12 in-person dates. When my term was almost up (12 months), I went to them worried I'd be cut off and I was given the assurance that I needn't worry as I would be guaranteed 12 in-person dates. Now after 3 in-person dates and 3-virtual (Covid) dates, I'm cut off. They are asking for money to continue the program. (They had also assured me that the Covid dates would not count towards my total but I'm less peeved at this than their complete disregard for what's outlined in my contract and the valid position that I am still owed 6 in-person dates.)

After I still said that I'd want a shorter term service or to at least split up the payments and see how it goes, they said they don't offer less than a year.
After I still mentioned the lump sum payment seemed bad. They told me a story about a single mom who's a teacher they just brought on didn't let the money stop her and wanted it so bad that she got a PayPal loan for the 3k to be able to pay it over time... So “the lump sum upfront payment shouldn't stop me from finding love”. Sales should in no way be suggesting financing to afford a matchmaking service. This is unethical business practice.

Tricia did a fantastic job of partnering me with a wonderful lunch date. By far, he is the best match. Tricia took the time to review the qualifications I am seeking and followed up prior to the initial meeting. She chose a great lunch place and the individual was well-spoken and has travelled globally. We have many interests in addition to travel such as art, concerts, entrepreneurial ventures, and appreciation of quality time with family and friends. Tricia was attentive in listening to me as I discussed other dating tracks I have tried. She took the time to find a quality match which I appreciate.

I am generally pleased with my IJL experience so far. I have been on dates with three men and can understand why the men were chosen for me. However, none has been a close enough fit for me to get beyond three dates with two of the individuals. One was a total mismatch.

Save your money. The person in sales painted a very nice picture, was very responsive, spent a lot of time with me but once they had my money it became a different story. I was explaining there'll be 24 matches. Later I found out it's match opportunities, so if I don't accept the match that they give me I just lost that match. The first guy was really not what I was looking for just in photo and description. The second guy was better the date was set up and he no-showed. No response from anybody at the company. Two days later I finally found out he had a flight change. That matchmaker was not very good at communicating. In fact I didn't hear from her for 2 weeks after I was stood up.
I got a new matchmaker who was better, the first date they gave me was okay but I went on it because I knew I would lose that match if I didn't and I had to trust the process. However that date also failed to show, said he was stuck in traffic. I asked for a refund and was told someone to get back in 48 hours, however it's been exactly one week and I finally spoke with someone who said a refund's not possible because they can still give me opportunities. They are escalating me to someone who might be able to help me but said they don't do refunds. Did I mention the service cost $**? So I'm currently disputing it with my credit card company. More pathetic than online dating ever was.

After 7 dates, (I am supposed to have 12.) in addition to 3 men that did not show, I’m calling it quits. I am a real person with a real heart looking for another real person. From the beginning, it sounded wonderful! I was told how easy it would be to match me up. I was sent a follow up email of how proud they were for me signing up.
I have turned down a few matches some due to a lack of attraction, and some because of ethnicity and religion. I have really followed the process. I would get dressed up sometimes in a new outfit. Three times I drove for over 25 minutes to meet up with a match only to have him not show up! Three times! This is from a company that I paid a lot of money to ensure my dates. I emailed my matchmaker on the Monday before my date on Friday to ask if he would call this last match to make sure he was coming. I never got any response. On Thursday, I left a voice mail. I received no callback. On Friday, I tried to call, but he didn’t answer. Then he forwarded me the confirmation he had sent to me earlier with no note in the email saying whether he had talk to him or not. How would you have felt arriving at a restaurant, waiting outside for close to 25 minutes to someone who never showed up? It embarrassing and truly just makes you feel worthless.
This is a train wreck about to happen and I’m getting off. From my first phone call to now, I have trusted my matchmaker. I truly feel like they didn’t hold up their end of the bargain. I struggle financial and this was a huge sacrifice. It was so I might find companionship and potentially love again. This has brought me nothing, but sadness and disappointment. I’m embarrassed that I spent that much money. It was a waste of time. I would love a partial refund, but after reading countless bad reviews, I don’t think that will happen. Please think about how you are hurting people with your actions.

This company is not a personal matchmaking site. They are based only in Florida, and rely on brief and infrequent phone calls to supposedly get to know you. Their methods seem the same as any on-line dating site, except they tell you where to meet based on their business contacts, and charge thousands of dollars for the 10 minutes of communication. I have had to drive into LA rush hour traffic, almost 2 hours away, for the 3 dates they've found me, in over a year. There is zero transparency about the availability, or lack thereof, of men in my demographic. They refuse to let me date someone younger, but send me out to date much older men.
The cost was 3000.00, which is a ridiculous cost for nothing that was advertised or promised to me. I have begged the corporate office, for the last 10 months, to return some of my money, but they ignore my pleas. This has been a humiliating, demoralizing, and expensive journey with a deceptive company! Any on-line site in which you have control of the choices, would be better and much more cost effective.

My matches, or how you determine matches, has been so far off, it's as if you aren't listening, or you haven't read my preferences. I do not think the multiple client advisors really try to "match".

Your matchmakers are too young to understand the what older clientele may be looking for at our age.
I am an avid traveler and the latest match hasn't left the country since his marine time in Iraq, has not been vaccinated, which prevents him from traveling out of country, and thinks a restaurant that doesn't serve Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing is unheard of.

Also, when Tricia learned how long it takes me to drive restaurants in downtown Nashville, she took the initiative to find restaurants closer to my location. Another thing I really appreciate about Tricia is she doesn't just makes matches to make a quota. Instead she carefully considers what I like and compares me to what other women like.

Looking for love? Then BEWARE It’s Just Lunch. I will never ever use this service ever again. And I will warn anyone and everyone about it who is looking for a matchmaking service. It costs an immeasurable and massive amount of money, and you don’t get much for it. I only went on 4 dates out of 12, they stopped setting up dates for me, they started ignoring all my calls and emails, and then they never refunded me. They are extraordinarily slow in finding people, make constant excuses for their slowness, find unattractive people a good amount of the time, and sometimes even give inaccurate information about potential matches.
Weeks and weeks can go by without even a potential match, and when you do eventually get one, whether you actually go out with the person and it doesn’t work, or you decide not to accept the date, the process of waiting and waiting and waiting starts all over again. Romantic connection is what most people want almost more than anything else, and waiting and waiting for every single potential match, and then even rarer, going out on an actual date, is extremely emotionally draining and stressful. When you need to reach your matchmaker, it can be very hard, and when you want to reach the company, you never get anything other than the voicemail system, and no one ever calls you back. Do not waste your time, money, or emotional energy on this service.

Maybe it's just a terrible first date with a potential match and the long delay in having other matches, but I am severely doubting the usefulness of a matchmaker. I get the impression that I'm just a name, age, kids/no kids preference, and location and the matchmaker doesn't know hardly anything more than that about any potential matches for me. An online dating site could provide me with potential matches using those criteria without the over a week delay. I wish I would have known that IJL is really for people who want children before signing up. As a women who doesn't want kids and wants to be with someone who is college educated, I am beginning to feel hopeless due to the dearth of potential matches who meet both of those criteria. Not sure the huge amount of money I spent on this service is worth it. Considering going back to online dating in a month if no potential matches who meet those two criteria are offered to me.

Please note the 5 stats applies only to Jaiye. Jaiye is professional and responsive. He is easy to talk to and seems to listen and mean what he says. Unfortunately this is not the description of every Matchmaker I've had prior to Jaiye. My experience over almost 2 years has been awful. I have had 5 or 6 different matchmakers. I honestly lost track. The matches have been very far and in between and none matched my preferences. I was often "encouraged" to be more flexible. They meant changing my pretty straightforward and not at all extreme or unusual preferences to accept a date who was much older than my preferred range of within 5 years or a smoker or someone who wasn't a widower or divorced. Though I haven't yet had a match with Jaiye I felt he was the first Matchmaker who truly listened and understood what I was looking for. It was refreshing and renewed my optimism about IJL. Otherwise I would give IJL 1 star.

I would stay away - it's a scam. They reel you in making all these promises but what they don't tell you in the intake when they are reeling you in and making all these promises is that any match they show you counts as a "date" - so no matter how awful and ugly the guy is - if you say no, that counts as one of your dates! You pay $1,000 for 3 dates and then I specifically said I did not want to date fat guys - the first guy they showed me was horribly fat so of course I said NO to him - well guess what - $333 down the drain!
Then 3 weeks go by and I reached out to my "dating coach" and was like, "Dude, any chance you are going to match me with someone else" and I got completely blown off by him with "I have been searching and selecting and be call you as soon as I have a new potential match that meets your criteria." However when we did our intake he had SO MANY great guys that he couldn't wait to match me with - now all of a sudden he can't find anyone that meets my criteria???

The experience I've had with IJL has been abysmal to say the least, and I'm generally very lenient with businesses dealing with people. First of all, there's no customer portal so your only point of contact is the matchmaker. They must use systems from the early 2000s; their email signature is a picture, so you can't reach them out through a single click. The dates are set up manually and sent to you by email, WITHOUT a calendar invite. Seriously? Maybe that won't bother everyone, but when you pay that kind of money, this is unprofessional.
I got signed up at the end of October '22, and so far (4 months), I've been on 2 dates, 2 more dates cancelled on me, and I've had 4 different matchmakers. My matchmakers have also tried to set me up 3 times with people extremely out of my criteria. I found that out of place when it's a repeated issue. I've been trying to reach both my matchmaker and customer service by phone over the past few weeks; 3 calls to each on different days/times, no one ever picked up. Left voicemails, but no calls back so far... Comparatively, I've used their main competitor in the past, and had a single matchmaker who was responsive and actually curated dates very well. I cannot recommend It's Just Lunch! at all, and am now stuck with it as they do not do refunds at all, which is also pretty scammy.

Please help BBB! My experience with IJL has been ridiculous, frustrating, disappointing and an absolute waste of my time and money!!! They are unprofessional, have ZERO customer service and certainly appear to be a SCAM! They need to be investigated for misleading clients into thinking they have a dating pool of people and come to find out that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
They sure do hustle to get you to sign a contract and get your money, and then it’s all downhill after that. My first contact was when I reached out to Elisabeth on 4/11/22 and she then ACTIVELY pursued me until I caved on 9/21/22 and signed the contract. In her email message she said, “Get out there on guaranteed face to face dates with terrific singles you would love to meet!” What a blatant lie that was as I would soon discover!
On 10/28/22 they introduced two men, but I was then quickly informed they were both "not available." On 11/21/22 they introduced a man who based on appearance was definitely not my type. On 1/11/23 my next date was introduced, and I met with him for lunch on 2/11. He was 30 minutes late and was certainly not dressed for a first date. He explained that he had a massage in San Diego which caused his delay. He was dressed super casual, not to mention disheveled, and his hair was in "post massage" condition. Come to find out he has never been married and has no kids. We had zero connection and minimal in common.
Per IJL request, I provided my feedback the next day (Sunday) and had not received a response by Thursday. Allowing them 4 days to respond, I reached out and expressed my total frustration with their lack of communication in response to their requested communication regarding my date which I conveyed was extremely disappointing. They claim they can't wait to hear how the date goes but then lack any sense of urgency to respond and acknowledge the disappointing date details.
On 2/16/23 I emailed my matchmaker requesting management contact me regarding my continued concerns with their services. My matchmaker responded with “Thank you for your timely response! I’d love to touch base with you and go over some of your concerns. Please let me know what your availability looks like for the next upcoming week. Have an amazing day!” Since I had requested that management contact me, I responded with, “Again, at this point and my level of frustration with this process, please ask management to contact me. It should not take ME reaching out to YOU to follow up and discuss date details.” I requested that they cancel my membership and reimburse me, or I would proceed with filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, as well as writing negative reviews on (Yelp, Consumer Affairs, Sitejabber, Trustpilot, Dating Scout, etc.).
Eventually (on 2/23) Sarah from the executive team called and left a voicemail to discuss my concerns. I returned her call the next day letting her know I received her voicemail 6 days after I sent my email requesting that management contact me regarding my less than impressive experience with IJL. I have yet to hear back from her. On 3/2/23 I sent another email informing them that since management is not interested in speaking with me, would they please just cancel my membership and reimburse me and respond by noon on 3/3/23 or I will proceed with filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, as well as writing the negative reviews.
To summarize my experience the past 6 months since signing the contract on 9/21/22, they’ve presented me with TWO men!!! THAT’S ALL!!! What kind of a dating “service” is that?!?!
10/28/22: Two dates introduced but then removed.11/21/22: One date introduced but I rejected based on appearance that he was not my type.
1/11/23: One date introduced and met him for lunch (pathetic attempt of a match).
This company does not provide what they promise and are misleading with their services. They are beyond shady, and I honestly want nothing to do with their unethical business practices. I would NEVER recommend IJL to anyone! I feel it is my duty to warn others to AVOID BEING SCAMMED BY IJL AND REFRAIN FROM SIGNING A CONTRACT WITH THEM! I just want my membership to be canceled and reimbursed! I’ve spent way too much money to receive ZERO service from IJL!!!

This was truly an awful experience. I paid 1,000 for four dates and didn’t get one. My matchmaker sent me matches and when I called to review them with him he would just send me another instead of contacting me back. Apparently because I never clicked approve within 48hrs it counted that I said no. So it was my fault that my matchmaker wouldn’t contact me and it counted against me.
I called and spoke to the Vice President of the company, who made me cry and belittled me for being upset about 1000 dollars being thrown away with no refund. She told me that she was going to hang up on me because obviously I was very upset by finding this information out. She even admitted my matchmaker doesn’t pay attention to what I wanted and just threw matches at me. How is that fair to the customer? She then said that she would give me a new matchmaker and only 2 dates instead of 4 for let me reiterate their mistake with their matchmaker not contacting me. I agreed and then eventually only got one date!
None of the matches were what I requested with my criteria and my matchmaker said he would look again and get back to me after my one date. I called multiple times and emailed him and he never contacted me back. I got 1 date for 1,000. Then today they called me again trying to get me to sign up again because I was so sought after right now.
I would honestly not give this company any money, they unfortunately only care about the money and not actually setting anyone up with the criteria you give. And when you complain they blame you for everything and not their staff. I have never had such a horrible experience in my life as I did with this company. I told this person the story when they called today and I said unless you are giving it to me for free I’m not interested and he of course said no but I’ll knock off $200. Please keep far away.

They have no idea about their clientele database or clearly lying from the beginning. False promises and overly confident in showing big picture with no ethics. Failed to provide a single date in 3 months and no confidence that they will deliver anything in rest of the period. Save your money and time. Don't disturb your mental peace by buying this companies' services. The marketing lady called me every day to show me a big false picture and promised 2 dates per month but in reality, they don't have any profiles which could full fill my desired matches. My suggestion is to save your money. This company has no ethical standards.

This is the biggest waste of money hands down. I am so sorry that I have ever paid this amount for this. I was in a weak spot in life, I suppose. I joined in 2021 and have only had three dates as of today, Jan 2023. I had one date that never showed up and was told it was due to a matchmaker error. That was a waste of time and money. I have never once talked to the same person, the matchmaker; always some new. One of my dates also told me that Seattle needs men, which is part of why that can't consistently match people. The dates I had were nothing close to what I am looking for. Please do not waste your money.

Bottom line - spend your money elsewhere. Very few positives here. Site advertises white glove service and caters to busy professionals - there is nothing white glove or catered about this despite what they say. For context in reading my experience, I am a process engineer who travels for work Monday through Thursday every week. Also, this is my 2nd subscription period - I saw what I considered many of these issues before, but IJL kept a steady flow of dates which led me to sign up again. This review will concentrate on my 2nd subscription though there are some from my first run through. I feel like this could be a good service and everything they advertise is doable however IJL does not appear interested in doing it. Below I'll highlight some issues I've had:
1) Communication - prepare to call them, email them, smoke signal them, telegram them, whatever- many times you will not get a response. Staff obviously engages in little-to-no internal communication. Pinnacle illustration of this was when I had a no call, no show at a restaurant, contacted their after hours who had not heard from my date. Finally heard back the next day and was asked when to reschedule without any addressing of the no call no show. Was told that the match sent a text message to cancel instead of a call which is why it was not relayed to me. Oddly enough when I went to reschedule, the match never responded.
2) Scheduling - This was one of the more appealing things to me before I signed up. As a professional who is out of town and has only 2.5 days per week at home per week, I'd like to maximize those 2.5 days - whether it be from hinge, bumble, IJL, some girl I met at the bar, whatever. I found myself being given matches on a Monday or Tuesday and routinely going a weekend or some cases 2 weekends without hearing back from that match (pending a date being scheduled). I would hold my weekends open under these circumstances and not seek a date from other sources spending my 2.5 days at home; not moving closer to my goals as a result. This was finally rectified by my most recent scheduler.
IJL COULD ask you at the beginning of your subscription when you plan on being out of town and working with you to maximize your experience. They do not and claim they cannot because they have no control of when the match crystal ball coughs up another match. Thusly, when you provide them with information about your availability, it is not regarded or used. This was perpetual in one way or another for the duration of my subscriptions.
3) Feedback - 2nd time through I paid for 6 feedback sessions and was charged $600. The first session was good but ultimately provided me no actionable information, only confirmed things that I had learned by being out on dates. I have had only two other sessions since despite several dates and nothing actionable. Would be better served as an ushered (white glove, perhaps?) experience. I have 3 feedback sessions, 0 guaranteed matches, and 1.5 months left.
IJL calls you after each date and asks for your feedback which is a good thing, however the information is not used as best I can tell. After one date several months ago, I asked if this information is used to improve my matches or help my matches improve themselves. I got a very confusing, nebulous answer. I decided to focus on my matches for that particular feedback - I indicated that it would be great if IJL could mix in a match that had a strong relationship with religion. It has been 3-4 months since this request was made and it has not been acknowledged, discussed, or fulfilled in any way. Summary- the after date feedback is not used so do not waste your time.
Also - I signed up for the feedback option in hopes of improving my appeal. Almost all of the feedback I get is "great guy!" "Seems really cool!" - something generic and positive yet I have only had one 2nd date. I would hope that for the amount of money that I'm paying, that IJL works on my behalf to extract actionable information for me. They do not.
4) Matches/Matching Process - The one bright spot is that most of my matches were in the realm of what I'm looking for. There were some very concerning misses, but the overall body of work was satisfactory and why I signed up again. That has largely fallen apart on this 2nd go round. Matchmaker says they can't edit the timing of dates (see scheduling: vacation schedule above) but they seem to be able to press the match button and make the match crystal ball spit out a match when something goes awry.
At one point - I had a match rejection (August 2022) for my height and then had two immediate subsequent matches who did not (And still have not) responded. I was told that I would be rematched with these when they contacted but IJL claims they are still not returning their calls (are they not paying?). As hard as this was to swallow, I swallowed it until more recently I had a no call no show and am still waiting to hear back from that match rescheduling 2 months later. Had 2 other same day cancellations in addition to the above that never rescheduled. @IJL - I think this is accurate number wise, it's hard to keep up. if you want to help me remember the order and how it unfolded, please feel free to share in the comments! I realize they are not and shouldn't be held accountable for what matches do - but they could make an effort to improve an individual's experience, and they chose not to.
5) Customer Service - The comments about gaslighting I've seen are spot on. I had heard the term gaslighting before using IJL and now I know what it means. My matchmaker no longer addresses obvious customer service shortcomings - I imagine this is because she has no intention of improving it. This is confusing because the amount of time that my matchmaker must spend to fulfill the obligations is ~5 minutes. The tasks she must perform once a month are the following: 1) receive match from match crystal ball 2) contact me and read match 3) schedule match at restaurant in area 3a) monitor phone and relay cancellation communication on date day 4) accept feedback.
If this process was going well, I would expect servicing me as a customer would cost IJL 60 minutes of matchmaker time per match. As it is - I feel like I could accomplish everything my matchmaker does in ~15 minutes. I believe these matchmaker roles are part time roles - to illustrate this, I spoke to my matchmaker for about 5 minutes today, it is the first contact I've had in a month. The other tasks to accomplish cannot take more than 15 more minutes. This indicates a fully burdened matchmaker that seamlessly services clients for a 40 hour work week should have about 480 clients. I would be very surprised if my matchmaker works with 20 other people - they do not have that kind of inventory.
Regional office leader appears far more interested in sales and branding than addressing existing client experience. Many things are said and implied in the lead up to signing a contract - very salesy, positive outlook, we will work with you etc etc. Once you sign the contract, you have little or no ability to give feedback about your experience or escalate your concerns - which is why I'm posting this.
@IJL - the only thing that will make me feel better about my experience with you is a full refund of my money (which I won't get). I do expect that you will continue to provide service for the duration of my contract which will conclude at the end of March. Please let me know if this diverges from the timeline you are tracking. If you choose to provide better service, I will consider changing aspects of my review. It's very sad to see a service that is positioned to make the world a better place and chooses not to.

They interviewed me for 2 hours on what I am looking for. And promised they have a LOT of qualified candidates. Over a month later, they set me up with someone who was the exact opposite of everything I had asked for, didn't live close-by, had several kids, didn't have a meaningful work, picked up 3 phone calls during one hour lunch and halfway through asked me to stand up so he can take a look at my body and made me awfully uncomfortable! Then immediately I asked for contract cancellation and refund and they didn't respond and did not refund.

Do yourself a favor and do NOT waste your time and money on this scam! I’m writing this lengthy review in hopes that no one else will have to go through the negative experience that I went through. I had done IJL about 10 years ago without success. When they called me in October of 2020 to see if I wanted to try it again, they were able to talk me into it, as we were in the middle of a pandemic, and I was unable to go out and meet people organically. I expressed my concerns that they could not ask members about their political affiliation. I struck gold with my first matchmaker, Amy.
She said she was good at asking the right questions to find that out without directly asking about it, and indeed she was! She also listened to me when I said I didn’t want to date anyone that had kids. She is no longer with IJL, which is a travesty, because she is the only matchmaker that I worked with that I felt really understood what I was looking for. At one point, she sent a match, whom we’ll call T. I expressed interest in meeting T, but T never responded when she reached out to him about meeting me.
Debbie reached out to him 2.5 weeks later, and after he finally expressed interest in meeting me, she called me to tell me as much. I asked what had taken so long for him to respond, and she said something about Amy reaching out to him, and since Amy wasn’t his normal matchmaker, he just never responded. When his normal matchmaker, Debbie, reached out, he actually responded. She said that sometimes these guys need a bit of hand-holding, that sometimes you have to mother them a bit.
This is not the kind of man I want to be with! I expressed this, but Debbie kept pressuring me to go out with him. Debbie also matched me with a man who was completely on the opposite end of the political spectrum from me, exactly where I didn’t want my matches to be. He even made racist comments on our first date, and it was more upsetting than anything. She also sent me on a date with a guy who reached out three weeks after our date. After the “Hey, how are yous” were out of the way, he asked me if I wanted him to send me a ** pic. I asked for a new matchmaker at this point because Debbie didn’t listen to what I was looking for nor did I feel that she understood me.
A new matchmaker sent me out with a guy whom we’ll call J. J was the only guy I went out with on more than the initial date, but after a few dates, it was clear to me that we were meant to be friends. He got anxiety when we were close together, and when I told him I felt like we should just be friends, he did express that he got nervous with the romantic aspects, as he had never had a romantic relationship before. I was also sent on a date with another guy who was 30 minutes late and seemed like he was ** out of his mind. In between those dates, I was also sent matches who had kids, which was something that I had very clearly expressed was not a good match for me.
The last matchmaker I worked with told me that my membership was coming to an end and asked me if I wanted to renew it. I told her that I didn’t. Then I got a call from Diane who asked me yet again if I wanted to renew my membership. When I tried to tell her that I was very disappointed in my first experience with it and that I wasn’t going to waste anymore time and money on renewing my membership, she tried to gaslight me and tell me that I wasn’t open to love. She told me the life coaches there had 20+ years of experience at matchmaking, essentially blaming it on me that my first go around didn’t work, instead of acknowledging that the matches I was sent were not good matches or men that I could have a serious relationship with.
I expressed that I didn’t want to renew my membership, and she told me I wasn’t being invited to (even though that’s why she called me in the first place!). It was a very upsetting conversation, and I hope that no one else has to go through what I went through with Debbie, Diane, and my whole experience with IJL. I regretted my decision to buy a membership on multiple occasions and tried to get a pro-rated refund to no avail. If you are reading this, please don’t put yourself through this! It’s not worth the time or money at all!

I won’t bore you with the all details but based on my experience I would advise against any association with IJL. I was misled about the availability of potential “dates” in my area… follow up on the epic failure of the date they did set up for me was nonexistent and any reasonable request or question about the short comings of their service were simply ignored… There is no brick and mortar location in my area so I was left to deal with an 800# and an email address and they simply chose not to respond at all… The “membership” fee is very pricey and if you’re unhappy with their service it’s just too bad… I fought to get my $ back but many people have lost thousands to IJL. Unprofessional in their business practices bordering on fraud and zero customer service.

They LIE about their dating pool, and defrauded my out of $3,400. I signed up for the "12 date (2 dates per month)" package at a cost of $3,400 after hearing their grandiose pitch about how great they are and they have so many wonderful potential matches for me. It's been 3 months and they have not sent me even one match that lives within an hour of me, let alone matches ANY of my preferences (of which I only gave them 3 anyways). Btw, I live in South Florida - Miami area. Big city. If they can't find any matches in Miami, what does that say about their service in any other city?
I told them to cancel and refund, they refused and then had their customer service team leave me a THREATENING voicemail (throwing the "contract" in my face, no refund policy, etc). Said they will "continue servicing my account". I denied the charge with my credit card company, and the dispute is ongoing, it's been several months. Biggest headache and completely avoidable.

Great matching experience- provides a variety of age groups but all are active, travel and well versed in life. All qualities I am looking for in a partner. My only negative feedback is that for the review of my date there is no place to write a negative experience or what I found did not work for the date. I understand you are trying to keep the expectations positive but some negative feedback would be helpful to narrow down potential matches as well.

Before signing up I was very specific about what I was looking for. Almost halfway through my experience and they have provided only one candidate of seven that was even close. My matchmaker continues to dismiss my concerns. She says she is the one that is supposed to contact me, but only once has it been her. The next date in three weeks is a foot shorter than me. I keep telling them my desire and they are ignoring what I want. Their only desire is to meet the number of dates they have committed to provide. The idea is supposed to be that the candidates are pre screened. The first date they actually sent me on, they talked about how active she was. 15 minutes into Lunch, she tells me she doesn’t like to go outside in the summer. She doesn’t like the heat and can’t swim. When they sell you they are not honest about what they actually provide.
