It's Just Lunch Reviews

I believe Bryanna may be the first matchmaker I have worked with at IJL who reviewed my profile and looked for a suitable match instead of trying to match me with people who were in many ways the opposite of what I am looking for. I am confident that if I continue to work with her, she will get me my forever match.

IJL does the hard work for you! They find you a match and set up the when/where you meet. The rest is up to you! It's basically a blind date, except you've seen a picture and know a little about each other. If you want to see them again you exchange contact info. If not, you part ways. It feels so much safer this way! IJL verifies everyone so you know you aren't getting cat-phished. My matchmaker Anita W really takes the time to speak with her clients to learn as much about them so as to better match them. I've enjoyed the dates she's set up for me.

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.

I have had an excellent experience with IJL. I find this to be a very simple but effective way to set up a "meet-up" or "date" with a someone. The communication between myself and my contact at IJL is wonderful and extremely convenient as they handle all the details. I very much appreciate the opportunity to work with IJL.

It's what you can expect from a match making service. They match on personality, looks, and interests. They've done a pretty good job of doing that in the context of one date. I look forward to next set of people they find. I've read some of the other reviews and it sounds like they expect someone to have "cupid's arrow". Finding an actual partner can take years and they help speed it up by putting people in a safe context while relieving anxiety for people who are super busy.

Genie took the time to truly understand what I am looking for in a life partner and matched me up with someone who was a very good fit. We decided not to move forward for other reasons but I definitely am so grateful I went through this process and had Genie as my matchmaker. Any fears or concerns I had about this process are now gone and I'm actually super excited about my next date! YAY!

I have good experience. The service I get is friendly and it is helpful for dating journeys. I feel like that there are dating experts I will definitely recommend to friends or family if someone have no experience in dating world. They should give it try to this service!!

Date was not informed about the date. PF ** had our reservation ready. My date did not show after 15 minutes. I called IJL and told them he was late. Amber called him and reminded his of date. He left work and showed up. I had already ordered my meal and was eating when he arrived. I’m 5ft. 5in. He is a few inches shorter than me.

Anita has been helpful with the entire process from helping me with picking out the right photos to improving my profile. In addition she listened to my needs and worked with me to find the right person and to help with the location of the first meeting to make sure that the location was truly a good mutual meeting place. So far the picks have been spot on.

I love working with Tanya. We are on the same page. She gets me and has my back at each dating opportunity. She is a great listener and knows what I want. Plus, she works hard to make sure she finds the best gentleman for me. I have not been in It’s Just Lunch long, but have already had two other matchmakers. There’s a saying about the third time is the charm – well Tanya has been the charm for me. I look forward to continuing to work with her.

Genie has been an amazing matchmaker. She truly cares and always makes me laugh. She made dating an easy and enjoyable process. Besides Genie, my date locations have been at amazing restaurants and good experiences. I also enjoy the ease of using the calendar to schedule. I look forward to my future dates.

I've only had the first two dates of 12 with IJL, and this process has been so useful to me already! I've learned a lot about what I'm looking for, about what's important to me. I've learned about how I want to interact with dates. These learnings require practice and exploration, on dates with the right kinds of people. That's where IJL comes in.

Bryana was actually the best part of my experience. She made me much more comfortable than any other of the many representatives that I spoke to which I did not know was going to be happening with IJL after I signed up originally with Elizabeth who was quite nice. After that experience, I did not realize how much I was limited to know more information about the match. I don’t like that rule and think it should be adjusted. Not fair and as well thought out as you think on client’s end. Your price isn’t small. Anyway, Bryana explained to me the way the company policy is, however very much a star in the way she handled my concern and her whole demeanor.

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.

I was introduced to IJL by a friend and I have been pleased with my matchmaker Anita. It’s still too soon to say about my experience with IJL but I must say Anita takes time to listen to you. She follows up and you can tell that she loves what she does and is passionate about her work. It took us some time to get to know each other and for me to open up about what I am looking for but I definitely know that she works very hard to find a good match. Thank you Anita!

It’s a good experience with IJL for my 1st date. Very thoughtful arrangements before & after my first date from IJL staff. Staff is very helpful and flexible with my request of changing locations of my date. Staff also has great patience listening to me about my concerns. I just hope staff can go above beyond to ask more questions of each date, communicate more with them and understand them better in order to have better matches for the dates.

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.

I have been mostly satisfied with my experience with It's Just Lunch, but I expected more dates. I signed up at the end of April and have not had that many dates. I really thought, based on my initial conversation, that there would be several a month. That is my biggest disappointment. My handler has been lovely. She is very empathetic.

I paid $10,000 5.5 years ago and still have not received all my matches. The matches I do get do not meet my requirements and they even sent me on a date with a girl that lives 500+ miles away and was in town visiting! She had no intention of moving nor I but they claimed it was a good match. Total waste of time and money.

It’s Just Lunch was the worst dating experience of my life whose so called professional matchmakers were anything but. I was consistently paired with the exact opposite matches than what I asked for. When signing up, I was upfront in stating I would not be surprised if the company would not have matches that fit my criteria. But, I was assured otherwise, and signed up. 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.

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.

Tanya is fabulous. She obviously knew my profile when choosing a date for me. I had reservations about our age difference but she thought we were otherwise well matched. I should give it a try. I did and my date and I clicked. We already made a second date and I hope there will be more. Thank you Tanya!

Anita, has gone out of her way to set the date with Jason. He canceled first date, we spoke, I told her it was fine. She called me today, Jason has had a change of mind. And wants to meet me after all. She was still positive after knowing she had to set the whole date up again. She is always a pleasure to talk to.

Thus far, I am 100% happy with the service. The dates have been high quality women who are attractive in accordance with their photos, intelligent and nice. Tanya has been very attentive and genuine about caring about the results. I would recommend the service to others. The IJL process is simple with a one time payment and I believe has serious candidates.

It's Just Lunch has been good so far. Most of the matches have been good and the matchmaker is good at listening to feedback to make the improvements. Make sure the matches are closer in my area. Some of the matches have been pretty far recently. At least one match earlier this year was good and lasted for a while. Looking to find the one that will last a really long time.

I have only had one date with It's Just Lunch so far, but it was very nice and my matchmaker planned it out well. I would not say it was very personalized to my preferences, besides the fact that it was close to where I and he lived, however. Still, it was a nice restaurant and my date was very polite and kind.

Eyrina has been so helpful in finding me the right dates. It does take some time, just like everything. She really cares, and is truly a sincere person. I have been with IJL for several years, with that said, I definitely have felt that Eyrina is the best matchmaker for me. You and your matchmaker have to be on the same page, and I have found that with Eyrina, because of who she is. Eyrina keep up the great work you do! Thank you.

It's too early to say I met "the one" because it was only a few nights ago. But things look really promising already. She and I went out for breakfast the following morning. I guess that's two dates technically. I'm really excited to meet her again very soon. Thanks for bringing the two of us together!

It took a while, but starting to see results. The person I work with now has my back However, it took about 3 bad people to find a good one, so if you use the service and are unhappy, speak up and let them know. Also, be patient as they are working hard for you.

I have been with IJL now for a year and have gone on roughly 5 dates. I have met some decent people, no one has stuck yet. 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.

Anita has been an excellent match maker and I trust that she is giving me sound advice. Sometimes I feel she knows me better than I do! I feel she is very genuine. She is very good about reaching out and also returning phone calls. IJL has been a great experience so far!

Jaiye is very personal and takes the time to listen to my preferences and feedback! His matches have been solid so far and I feel I am getting my money's worth. Only reason for 4 stars is the customer service number does not get back or at times phone just rings and rings.

I had a fun date night with Paulina last weekend. This was setup by Carissa who is my matchmaker. We had lovely dinner and conversations, exchange numbers and met again for lunch the next day. Definitely a pleasant moment and looking forward for my next quality date! Carissa was there to provide suggestions and ideas before the date and called to ask how the date went along with feedback to improve next 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.

They promise you the world. Make you believe they have all these clients to choose from. They do not even listen to your needs! The original associate whom takes your profile information then passes you on to another person to handle your account. I declined all 3 matches offered to me as not one match was acceptable nor even close to what I had described I wanted, yet they considered that fulfillment of their contract.

Tricia has been able to match me with incredible dates, and in fact, really knocked it out of the park. I am very grateful for her talent and gift as a matchmaker. I’ve had a great experience so far with IJL and Tricia has been instrumental in this. I would recommend this service to anyone who is serious about dating and wants to take the pressure off the process.

I’ve been in the system since August 2021 and had only 4 dates. It has been the worst investment I ever did. A complete loss of time and money. The profiles sent to me did not match my preferences. They barely contacted me every 2 or 3 mont. one candidate was a guest, meaning he wasn’t even part of the system.

Tricia set me up with a really amazing person, we had great chemistry and a lot in common. I'm looking forward to continuing to getting to know her and I'm very appreciative of Tricia's efforts! Tricia really listened during the process and was able to create a very successful match.

I am extremely pleased with Bryanna as my matchmaker, however somewhat disappointed with It’s Just Lunch. Bryanna spent over an hour with me on the phone and I feel our discussion was productive and that she truly understood my concerns and addressed them. It was a very direct conversation and I appreciate her ability to listen and communicate clearly..

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 enjoyed working with representatives at IJL - my only concern is that the Knoxville market is not big enough. In one year I had only 5 date options - I think this does really well in a much larger city. On the flip side it only takes 1 date and I am fortunate to have had that and met an amazing person.

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.

My first date went well, we exchanged numbers. Jaiye was very good in selecting someone who seemed compatible. From what I’m understanding there are different packages as far as the cost goes. I did not realize that and should have asked more questions. But Jaiye is a great wingman for me! He listens and understands what I’m looking for in a mate. I’m confident this process with be the end of an unwanted career of dating!

This company is awful. The sales process is very promising, until they get paid. After payment it's all a waste of money and time. They offer 24 dates within 12 months. If you are offered a date, it counts. They do not care what you think of the person, it counts as they did their job. I have been trying for months for a refund. Their self serving stand-point is, "They feel they can service me as a customer, so no refund". I would guarantee all the 4-5 star reviews are fake and/or company generated.

Anita seems to know the right person for you. I’ve been on two dates so far and she really tries to cater to your ideals, goals, and aspirations. I’ve been on two dates so far and they came very close to what I’m looking for, for my ideal partner. I’m really looking forward to working with Anita and seeing what she can do.

Costly service for the number of dates, but overall it has been worth it. Most dates have been a miss. But a few are definitely hits. I think the profiles should include must haves and must not haves. Occasionally there have been huge gaps (6+months) of no dates, which is my biggest complaint.

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.

Just had my first date with IJL. I must say Anita nailed it. Great experience and really good match right out of the gate. Came to find out my date and I were at the same employer at the same time 30+ years ago. Had a lot to talk about regarding that shared experience.

I went on my first date through IJL and was very impressed with the selection made for me. He met many of my expectations. We met at 12:00 PM and did not leave the restaurant until 3:30 due to our engaging conversation. We had several commonalities to converse about; even some hardy laughable moments describing our epic childhood memories. I have enjoyed the entire IJL experience and trust that they have my best interest in mind.

My matchmaker, Eugene, has been excellent. He has been able to find women for me who have the qualities I seek. The dates I've been on have been pleasant experiences. The only complaint I have is that it is sometimes difficult to get in touch with my matchmaker for updates on him finding potential matches.

My experience with IJL has been positive so far. My professional matchmaker, Anita was great at matching my preferences for my first date. The venue and time of day selected for the first date was just right. Anita was also attentive to my feedback. I look forward to the next date.

I really appreciated Tricia’s diligence in setting my date up with Steve. I honestly enjoyed myself, and the conversation flowed for nearly two hours! He was a genuinely engaged listener who made me feel very comfortable in his presence—he’s a really great guy. Thank you Tricia, for hearing me and for making my experience your priority. :)

Jaiye is an excellent matchmaker. He actually listens to what I am saying and truly gets me and my needs. He is responsive to my calls and emails. He has a great sense of humor especially since this is a very sensitive subject. I believe he truly cares about his clients and wants to find the best match possible. Thank you for placing me with him.

Jayie was a gem. He took his time and matched me up with the perfect date. It was very weird, but we everything in common right from the start and ended up in a very happy relationship within a week...unbelievable I know but true. I would highly recommend Jaiye to all present and future IJL clients. He's professional and knows his business...THE BEST!!

Tanya has been a pleasure to work with. She creates a comfortable, transparent and fun atmosphere, while also being professional, personable and down to earth allowing us to connect. Tanya asks all the right questions and has made me feel comfortable to be able to be open and honest.

Tricia is truly amazing not only at matchmaking which is what she LOVES to do but as a person as well! I have the best time working with Tricia and I always look forward to her call. Tricia’s personalized service is refreshing and overwhelmingly positive. She has really paid close attention to the qualities I am looking for in my special person. Her bubbly personality, skills and professionalism assure the best possible assistance in the search for your life partner. I am so grateful for Tricia!

I have, overall, been very pleased with the IJL experience. Professional, responsive, discreet, and -- best of all -- I have confidence there is actual effort to (1) represent people as they actually are (rather than as glamorized/outdated imitations of themselves) and (2) match potential candidates based on compatible goals. Do not regret the decision in any way. I would and already have recommended it to a friend.

My experience with IJL was Great! I knew it would take some time but found my matchmaker. Eugene was easy to work with and was very patient. Definitely would recommend this service to anyone who needs help finding someone special in their life!

Let me be clear: I am VERY satisfied with my matchmaker, Jaiye. He is responsive, committed, concerned and caring. However I had been with IJL for over 12 months before Jaiye was assigned to me, after expressing my extreme dissatisfaction with the and total of 5 matchmakers I had before Jaiye, who arranged a combined total of 2 actual dates, then NEVER followed up with me, NEVER returned my many calls or emails.. At this point I am only continuing with IJL because I have faith in Jaiye.

I was reassigned a new matchmaker, Tanya, who so far has provided me with an improved experience with IJL. She was very easy to talk to, and followed up the next day after my date to see how it went. She is much more communicative and seems to be more proactive.

I put my phone number into the site last night and sales called me today. After they shared their process, they shared their service and price. The only choice offered for my greater Richmond area was their $3,000 12 months or 12 dates service. They shared that only a upfront payment was offered. I brought up that a 3k lump sum upfront payment before any services rendered didn’t seem right, they said “you get what you pay for”. 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.

So far you are matching me in a timely manner. I have only had two matches and one was 2 hours away. I didn't know that and I would have not accepted the date had I known. My matcher is extremely helpful and always answers my questions and concerns.

Amy had taken the time to understand what my wants are for my next relationship/life partner. She has taken the time to interview the potential matches. Her choices for me have been spot on. Every one has has exceeded my expectation. What I appreciate about the service the most is the time and effort. IJL has been very good for me.

I’m happy with experience for the most part. I would prefer text messages at times to remind me that I have an email. I am not one to check emails. Jai has been wonderful. He’s so easy to communicate with.

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 would recommend that one work with Tricia to obtain positive results.

Marina has been a great coach so far! This is my first experience with matchmaking and online dating in general, but she has made it easy. My first date was a good one, and I look forward to a second one. :)

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. I feel that I'm meeting a higher caliber individual through IJL than I had been through mainstream online dating. I will be really disappointed if I don't find ultimate success here since this process is very costly.

So far I am pleased with the service from IJL. I’m particularly pleased with the support of my matchmaker Marina. I do feel like I get authentic care and support from her and that she is focused on my having the best experience. She is also very encouraging on my journey and gives good advice. As a result I do find myself enjoying each date more than I would have thought.

I’m new to IJL and have had a great experience so far. My Matchmaker has really made me feel confident and at peace that I’ve outsourced the work to find great potential connections. Compared to other alternatives like online dating apps, the service IJL offers emphasizes quality over quantity and feels more personal, natural, and exciting.

My date was fantastic! He was a fine conversationalist, showed interest in getting to know me, we laughed about our life experiences and he was a true gentleman. He even walked me to my car and asked for my phone number. The evening was very special!

Amerlin has demonstrated outstanding communication skills and a remarkable level of friendliness throughout the entire process. Their ability to listen attentively, understand preferences, and offer thoughtful suggestions is truly commendable. Amerlin's warm and approachable demeanor created a comfortable environment, making the matchmaking experience enjoyable and stress-free.

Working with Tricia at IJL has been truly wonderful and reminds me we all need a coach. I think that many of us understand that dating has really changed in the last few year and since COVID, really changed. Tricia has been amazing as providing guidance, encouragement and just solid advice on navigating it all. In fact, I am looking forward to my next date tomorrow.

The IJL team did a fantastic job; my matchmaker Tricia was great! She was patient during the interview and quickly introduced me to some great women. I quickly realized one of my first introductions was a great fit and have already decided to put my account on hold and focus my relationship efforts. I have enjoyed my experience with IJL and highly recommend this service vs. emotional and time-draining dating apps.

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.

My matchmaker Tricia is awesome! She has gotten to know me really well and does a super job picking dates for me! We have soooo...much fun on the phone together. She makes it a GREAT experience!!! Most sincerely yours...Gregg

I have recently begun working with Tricia and the first date she picked for me was way better than the first 2 received. She really listens to me and understands more of what I am looking for. Thank you Tricia.

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.

Tricia has done a great job setting me up with like minded individuals. It’s been a lot of fun, meeting people with who have the same interests as I do. It has been a relaxing way to meet new people in non stressful situations.

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.

Tricia is the best, she has taken the time to get to know me and listen to me, is supportive and positive and great communication thru both email and phone! I love how easy it is to work with IJL, all I have to do is show up!

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". I feel sorry for the people that have been taken advantage of in search of compatibility because you seem to be missing the mark. Your matchmakers are too young to understand the what older clientele may be looking for at our age.

I've been with IJL for almost 4 months. Tricia is my matchmaker and is great to work with! She is extremely pleasant and I always enjoy our conversations. But more importantly, Tricia LISTENS and understands. I've been on 3 dates and with each one, Tricia has asked the right questions and has listened to my thoughts to make sure we learn how best to improve my matches. 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. I think her deliberate approach increases the quality and likelihood of successful matches.

I enjoyed my first date with Carol. I liked her honesty and she was down to earth and straightforward. She also helped me appreciate the challenges in dating at our age, something I needed to understand. Elliot is good in that he listens to my comments and responds well. One thing that I need to mention is that I do not want any dates with Trump supporters.

The first time the date was booked, they told him to go to the Seasons 52 in Tampa, and told me to go to the Seasons 52 in Sarasota. Obviously we did not meet. Monday, we both met at Sarasota Seasons 52 and I discovered that he lives 3 hours away. Not acceptable. There must be plenty of men that live within 1 hour of my home.

After 5 months of membership, I finally got a date worth accepting. It was so good, we've decided to go on a 2nd date! IJL's restaurant venues in Albuquerque appear to be very limited and were placed at Buca di Beppo, serving family style portions of italian food. How does that work for an intimate date for two? Suggest IJL expand its footprint.

I can’t give more than one star to my overall experience, however, I have enjoyed all of my matchmakers, but especially Bryanna. She has taken a horrible situation and done her best to keep the wheels attached. Although I have my differences with IJL, and their policy of dropping zoom dating for a guy that lives in a remote area, I have to say this professional matchmaker makes it very difficult for me to be angry for very long when I talk to her. I just want to take a moment and praise her for her efforts, and thank her for understanding and for listening to me. IJL should clone Bryanna, she’s truly amazing.

I have been represented by Eyrina for a few months now, and I find her very efficient and caring. Very thorough and always easily approachable. I recommend her very highly to be your matchmaker. So far, I haven’t found my match, but she is fine-tuning my profile.

I’ve recently joined and have had two dates. The first date was very good and seemed to have good communication and common goals. The second date I was not impressed with his manners or communication style. I’m looking forward to meeting other like minded individuals.

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.

What an attentive positive and communicative journey. It’s been already and it’s just the beginning. Highly recommend Jaiye for your experience. Quality over quantity so just be patient you are in the right hands. When you call I suggest you call and ask for him.

Tricia is my new executive Matchmaker. She is wonderful to work with and has a great attitude. I had my first Lunch Date and it went well. I would recommend It's Just Lunch based on my experience working with Tricia and what a great Listener she is in finding me the Best Matches.

Updated on 04/11/2023: I wrote a review a few weeks ago only to be told that someone was helping me to resolve the bad experience I have had. Yes, I did get to speak with a manager and somehow magically was matched. Yes matched, only to find out that he too was "unavailable" now. This company does NOT deliver on its contract and I would truly advise everyone to seek another option. Again, I signed up on 1/31/23 and have had 1 date. If I could give 0 stars I would do that!

My experience with It's Just Lunch has been good so far. Amy is my matchmaker and is very professional. She has found quality matches based on my preferences and selected great locations for dates. I have no complaints and happy with my experience.

This is my first experience with IJL. The process took a tad longer than I had expected, but Mariana came through big time with her latest match. I felt she really understood my hopes and aspirations, and took time to find a good fit before sending it to me. Mariana also gave me helpful advice for how to follow up with my date that I really appreciated.

Hazel does a great job matching! Out of all the matchmakers, she was the best. She was attentive and diligent. I enjoyed working with her and we shall see if her last match works out. IJL was an interesting experience.

This company is the worst. They throw out so much crap that their database is filled with men that meet the qualifications you're looking... They only reach out once every 6 months at best or ignore you entirely. I asked for a refund within 3 months and they won't give me anything .. they have switch me "matchmakers" 8 times over the 2 years. Save your money... Free dating sites have more quality men than this company. Once they have your massive payment, the effort from this company is minimal.

My Matchmaker Amy is awesome! She is really good at listening to what I am looking for in my match and she delivers. IJL is a great dating service, especially for professionals that are extremely busy and do not have all the time to do the leg work to find quality women. They even set the date up for you! I highly recommend their service!

I love that IJL is able to find the best people that fit my personality and style. Their process takes care of the pre-work and things I care about so I can focus on the date. It's also reassuring to know my date is closer to finding what they are looking for, so that we both have the best chance. Thanks IJL!

Carla has done a good job of communicating with me and encouraging me through the matchmaking process. I appreciate the time she takes to talk to me about what I am looking for in a match. I look forward to my next match!

Jai has really stepped up his game with me because I lost my first person due to her leaving the company and he has been doing his best to keep me with the company and happy is all things as possible.

Marina G took the time to listen to me and find a wonderful match for me. I have had two dates so far and both were fun and interesting. I have been able to meet up with the 2nd date multiple times and we are having a wonderful time together. Would not have met him without Marina.

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 expected more from this service. Before I joined I was told that NYC has a huge platform. Since I have signed up in January I have only received three options. I understand these things takes time but I expected there to be a sense of delivery. Also, I was not impressed in the restaurant selection. I was sent to a Hibachi which is a group setting and I don't think that is appropriate for a first date which I already addressed with the matchmaker.
