It's Just Lunch!

Ford to would like to say I am very impressed. I was doing online dating and it felt like a full time job with almost no return and the the results were, well… Less than desirable to say the least. Have been working with Debra now since August of 2021. And she is impressive. She listens and gives feedback and advice. That matters. I feel very privileged and lucky to be working with her. On my journey to find my love.

I got tired of the dating apps because l wasn’t meeting quality men. Therefore l decided to try a matchmaking service. After speaking with their onboarding person l decided to spend my hard earned $2800 and give it a try. I appreciated how much time my matchmaker spent getting to know me and what I’m looking for but the person that showed up to my first date was nothing like l described. He wasn’t a gentleman, he was dressed down instead of up and he was tired and didn’t really feel like eating. I took time and care in my appearance from head to toe and l could have come in jeans and tennis shoes. Big disappointment. I’m hoping the next date they do better because if this first date is any indication of future dates, then l wasted my money.

He has been the best matchmaker I have had with It's Just Lunch! He has set up matches for me that I would have picked for myself, but do not have the time to find for myself. Thank you so very much for the wonderful experience!

I wish to commend the exemplary service that I have received from Amy M. of this company. In this day of "electronic anonymity", Amy provides very personal and warm association with her clients. She makes the experience with this company something to be valued rather than something that is unimportant. It is worth our attention to acknowledge the value of being a real person, not just a "voice over the telephone."

It's Just Lunch is great. I have have a great experience meeting other people. The dates were well organized and in great locations. I was informed with accurate information about her prospective date. I recommend this service. The staff at It's Just Lunch are professionals, return phone calls and are proactive. Kevin, my Matchmaker is Awesome! He made the experience enjoyable!

Another great match from my side. I had a great time. They really do a wonderful job trying to set you up with someone who's a good fit. So far, 2 great first dates. I am grateful, and even if nothing works out with this particular match, I feel the experience with her was well worth it. So hard to find quality dates nowadays, and she was definitely a quality, hard-working person, that I enjoyed being matched with. Let's see where things go!

After 4 years on dating apps, with enormous frustration and little success, I decided to give It's Just Lunch a try. I was a bit nervous, but after speaking with 2 from the company, I was ready. I had a to wait a few weeks for my first date, but it was well worth it. My date was in a totally different league than those I had met online. We connected immediately over dinner, sharing stories about our children and laughed lots. We exchanged numbers and had a second date 3 days after the first. Date #3 is already set for next weekend! I don't know what the future will bring, but my matchmaker knocked it out of the park from the start. I am very grateful. If this match turns out not to work, I won't hesitate to turn to IJL again.

I hired a matchmaker at It's Just Lunch. Amy is wonderful. She’s a great listener and has a great sense of humour. She has worked really hard to find me some eligible dates. I really love Amy’s confidence and positive attitude. She gives thoughtful feedback and is always available to listen to me. Thank you for a great experience thus far!

Patricia has done an excellent job at matching my interests to those I've been placed on dates with! She has also been a great source of counsel and advice as I go through this process. I'm going on a 5th date with one of my matches on Friday! Thank you, Patricia.

I have had a good experience working with all the Executive Matchmakers. All are very positive and are motivated to find a good match for me. In addition, I think they do a good job focusing on the characteristics that I am looking for in a woman. I know it takes time and I am trying to be patient.

Marc has been an overall superstar of a matchmaker; this person has managed to pull miracle after miracle on short notice. Marc has gone above and beyond the call of a matchmaker and was borderline life coach and travel advisor on some occasions. With short notice of my travels, this man, this legend, has managed to set me up with matchES so I don’t travel blindly. This has happened enough times where this act is now referred to as the “Hand of Marc” where the miracles happen when he gets involved.

IJL was the worst experience I've had with a dating service. They over-promise anything in the beginning to get you to sign up. In a year, they only sent me on 2 dates, 1 of which was horrible and the person it was with I wouldn't wish on anyone. I went through 3 different matchmakers at that time and they put my account on hold twice when I expressed many times how dissatisfied I was. They refused to give me my money back only saying that they would put it on hold and wouldn't search for matches.

Kevin's tone of voice is always full of Joy and very respectful. All of his messages on the telephone and e-mail are so service focused to me and signs of a Great Listener. I have asked him to stay with me for consistency. I am a therapist and a social worker. The relationship is vital. Having inconsistency in the match maker is not good to find a person in my eyes. Kevin has respected that. We have been able to narrow things of importance to me the more I get myself out there. Most of my friends have been married to one person and are still married for over 35 years. I have not even thought about any sort of a IJL recommendation to another person.

I apologize as I tried to find an order number; yet was unsuccessful. Even though the match chosen for this particular date ended up not being my type, I would have to agree with my great personalized matchmaker that he was a good fit on paper and that we looked like a great match. Even though he wasn’t for me, the experience was great as this is real life. However, sometimes you just never know! One needs to just try again! It’s all great and I absolutely feel my IJL matchmaker has my best interest at heart! I can’t wait to learn what’s next! All my best!

It's Just Lunch is a great way of meeting new people if you are searching for a serious relationship. Nowadays, it's more and more difficult meeting people organically. The It's Just Lunch Team truly care and want you to be successful. I would highly recommend.

The recent match was great, we talked as if we knew each other already. Looking forward to learning more about her! Restaurant was a bit fru fru, and almost all vegetarian, and we are both meat eaters... We both laughed about it, but found something good, it was a nice atmosphere and we had a great time!

3 months and I have never met anyone. When there is a glimmer of a date, they are never available within an hour. I live in NYC and I don’t see how it is possible to not be able to provide me with even ONE meeting in this timeframe. My consultant will never respond to a call, possibly an email. I had questions at the beginning with never a response back. It honestly feels like an online dating scam. I signed up for this service, and paid, to avoid this type of issue, and the disappointment is real. A lot of time, money and hopes for this to be successful!!!

I joined this dating site as another, more personal, way of meeting someone. I spoke with James initially and he was so excited, had numerous men in mind for me and was an amazing salesman. He introduced me to Missy, my matchmaker and here is where the fun begins... she doesn't respond to emails until days later; sends me "matches" that are nowhere near what I was looking for; gives absolutely no feedback after the mismatches. I feel like I was totally scammed and if I don't hear from you quickly, I have a meeting set up with my lawyer. They are not following their own rules they have listed in their contract. They should be ashamed of themselves.

After 6 months, I've had 4 matchmakers that they never contact me; I have to find out when I reach out to them and then find out the old one has left. In that time, I've been presented with 5 men; they either bailed, weren't available for weeks, were out of the area, not remotely what I am looking for or, in the case of the one date I did go on, lived hundreds of miles away, isn't close to being a match, and he claimed he was none of the things I'd been told. Turns out they lied to him about me, too! They do no background checks so how do I trust them to set me up with a real person? I'm scared for my safety. Having spent $ thousands on a service that's worse than anything I could have imagined, and not getting any better, I am sorry I ever did this. I wish I'd believed the poor reviews; lesson learned. I'd never do this again.

My experience with this company has been terrible. Grab your wallet and Run. Don't waste your time or money. They will promise you they have "quality matches" nope. My last date, he was married. They knew this, it was the second thing he said to me when he sat down. They say they have eligible people, they don't, I drive a minimum of 1.5 hours to have a drink with men I have nothing in common with. They lie.

Updated on 05/10/2022: Once again, I am disappointed with the lack of performance and broken promises with IJL (It’s Just Lunch). I was promised 14 dates in a twelve-month period with an Arizona Private Search DIAMOND contract costing almost $**. Statistically, that equates to 1.17 dates per month and at this point I should have received 10.5 dates. I am now entering my tenth month of membership. After completing nine months, IJL only delivered a whopping four dates. Statistically, that equates to only .44 dates per month. Doing the math, your overall score is 38%, which is a Big Fat “F-.” After all, if my college GPA (Grade Point Average) was only 38%, I would have definitely ‘flunked out.’

I have been disappointed with my It's Just Lunch experience. The main issue has been the lack of communication. There was a period of time when I didn't have any communication from my matchmaker for 3 months. I provide feedback from my dates and feedback on my experience and never hear anything back. But if I don't respond for one day, I'm asked if I have time to date or do I want to put my membership on hold. When I tried to talk to my matchmaker they were never available and pushed me off the phone. I had a question about my membership and was just told that's not what my contract said, but wasn't given the section or any guidance. It was like they didn't want to deal with my question.

Horrible experience. I signed up on December 10, 2021 W. saleswoman named Christi who is very upbeat, energetic and friendly. She explained to me that I was going to be getting two dates per month for seven months for a total of 14 dates. She was very convincing and she sent me an online contract which I guess I did not read very carefully but I did sign it expecting exemplary service for the $** that I paid. I did meet with my matchmaker Kevin over a FaceTime phone calls and went over all my specifications of what I was looking for for a long-term relationship. I described physically what I was looking for emotionally what I was looking for etc. I had a whole checklist. He sent me some photos of which two of the potential dates I was not interested in because they did not meet my specifications. There was one man who did and I wanted to be set up on a date with him.

After seeing their commercials on television and hearing them on radio, I was completely sold on their premise as another alternative than dealing with online dating and apps where I was very interested. After a great conversation with matchmaker Eva K., I felt at ease with her plus, she said that IJL has matches that I want in their database. After paying close to $3,000 (I was given a "Black Friday" discount in November 2021), I was a bit hesitant about signing up because it was pricey, so, I signed up with them thinking this company would help me find the man I'm looking for.

My matchmaker Amy is awesome! She listens to what I want and sets up the dates. I really enjoy talking about the pros and cons of each date and I can definitely see how she takes what I say and applies it to my next match. She’s awesome!

I was having trouble with getting women to actually set a date on the online apps. This is taken care of by the staff especially Patricia at It's Just Lunch. They are like your Hitch in the movie. Give it a try.

I joined It's Just Lunch in Nashville. Before joining I had two conversations with Diane, the sales agent, in March 2021. She promised me that I would have 24 dates in 12 months, unless I decided to voluntarily put my account on suspension to date the same person. I was ok with that because ideally I'd rather date the same person in a relationship than date 24 different women. I specifically asked Diane if they had enough single women in my age range (53), and she said they did. As it turns out, they apparently don't.

If I could give this company and its service a 0 rating I would! I signed up and paid a very large sum of money during a promotional time for It's Just Lunch at the start of the pandemic May of 2020, for a guaranteed 5 dates or 5 months whichever comes last. I did not want to participate in the Zoom option dating, so they were kind enough to put my account on hold for a while. By December 2020 I had not heard any news about dates or even about the company's policy changes/updates with regards to COVID and all of the lockdowns.

I joined and my contract was 1 year and # of dates. No fast forward two years later....Also between this I have had 5 MM because of turn over or just inadequate service. I tried to get out of my contract, but that is not an option. Overall the MM don't listen and know their clients too well to match. It's like he has legs, and can read I will match you all... Also the a few of the folks I was paired with were alarming. One person had lied about having a child and I later found out and another....I won't go there... I totally do feel like I wasted some money, but hey it is what it is.

I work with Ryan, and I think he is awesome!! Ryan ensured everything was set up and easy. After the date, he provided some incredible feedback. It was direct and candid feedback, and let's face it, in today's world, we don't have time not to be radically candid. I joined IJL because my time is incredibly valuable, and Ryan cut to the chase. Extreme gratitude for taking time and discussing potential improvements to my style. Ryan is my advocate and he is taking the time to get to know me, and more than just what is written in my profile. Thank you!!!
