    Chuck and I had a virtual meeting on 6/17. We exchanged phone numbers, he texted 3 days later - wanted to meet. We met at a local restaurant for a drink. It was a nice conversation - however, at this time, I will pass on meeting him again. There was no physical attraction, a nice man. Our personalities are different. I'm very outgoing due to my sales background. He came across as quite conservative and laid back, not my nature!

    I had become disenchanted with dating sites & almost felt like giving up. I joined It's Just Lunch & Debbie was assigned to me as my dating coordinator. She got me excited & said I would be easy to find someone special for me. I went on a date with Tricia last night & my hope was renewed. Debbie did a job above & beyond my expectations. The date was very much a success from my point of view. I’m not sure what Tricia thought but I would very much like to see her again & get to know her better. Debbie Rocks!!!

    I was a member of IJL previously in Dallas & I was disappointed. They only set me up with one person I was compatible with or was within my physical expectations. The lady who convinced me to give it another try & said the program had changed. She was right. She said Debbie was experienced & would find women that I would be compatible with & find attractive. I was not disappointed. I have gotten revitalized & I am encouraged & have a great of fresh air & excited to be on this journey guided by Debbie. Thanks Debbie!!!!

    First contact was a long "interview" process. I felt maybe I had missed something in my own search. I impulsively decided to sign up. I was told **. When they went to run my credit card through none of them would work. I quickly calculated in my head ** times 12 at **. All my cards had more than enough to cover that. I used one that did not have a limit. That one went through for **. One day later another charge for ** went through, then they called me and asked if I would be willing to expand my search area for a ** discount. I said expand to where, they responded Phoenix, (I live in Tucson). I agreed. I received a discount for **.

    Then they immediately had a match right here in Tucson. Asked if I would meet the match. I agreed. Never heard back. Then the COVID hit and they suspended with an exception of video "date". They called me I agreed to that. I lost track of the time and one day received a call from another representative. This was now matchmaker number 3. I was presented with a "match". I was told she would be willing to relocate, had certain activities in common. Not even close, the "match" said she had no intention of relocating, was retired wanted to travel frequently, didn't enjoy any of the activities that I did. And here's the clincher...she was in Bend, Oregon!!! Really??? What happened to the expanded area limited to Phoenix, AZ. I asked them to keep 1/2 the money charged and refund me the other 1/2. They offered me **. I rejected that. Anyway, if you sign up be CAREFUL. They are totally a scam!

    Sometimes we all need help in one category or another. The saying, “strength in numbers,” is a fact in this case. With love being such a powerful energy source, if not the most can be a bit intimidating. It’s not a bad idea to have extra hands. Especially after recent years of adding in poor judgement in those younger years that only made a terrible recipe of doubt to follow in those current years of the very thought of companionship. Ever.

    Life goes on and sometime later I had the privilege of watching one of the most beautiful forms of a loving relationship I’ve ever witnessed. When inquiring about her story she didn’t hesitate to talk about IJL! Being skeptical I remained watchful. A short time later I’m skimming through a Delta SkyMile magazine only to read an article about IJL. A sign maybe? Finally, years later, I reach out to IJL out of pure curiosity, an open mind, and here I am today. I can not shout loud enough to the rooftops of my matchmaker Alma G! It takes a special kind of person to be a matchmaker. Alma is that special person! She is the very BEST!

    Signing up in January was great! It was easy and felt genuine that they had my best interest at heart. First date was in February and he wasn't a correct match. Although he was very handsome, he had a child and didn't want more. For me, that was a HUGE deal breaker. However, I learned so much about myself and how to start dating again that I took it as a positive, learning experience. During our date he told me that after 7 months IJL called him and presented them with me. I kept that information in the back of my mind and thought that I hope this didn't happen to me. I did express this information to my matchmaker. About a month later, I reached out to my matchmaker because I didn't hear anything, she indicated that "we were still working on matching you!"

    Since COVID-19, IJL offered virtual dating in March/ April. Great idea, although, I have not heard from them! After expressing my concerns to them about being unhappy with their services and I was assigned a new matchmaker in May and even expanded my search pool to a different state. It's June 1, no virtual meetings and no additional date since Feb. I am highly discouraged and can't confidently recommend their services. The reviews are mixed and I took a shot. It's expensive and disappointing. Proceed with caution. I don't think that I am terrible person or hard person to match with. I wanted professional support and have not received it.

    I've been an IJL member for several months. I joined because I had a great experience 10 years ago when I lived in Omaha, NE. I think IJL is really the only way to go when looking for a partner. Forget Match.com, etc. I tried it and my friends have tried it - it doesn't work. Debbie has worked hard to find matches for me. The women I've met have been the best - smart, witty, educated, well-spoken - absolutely with no exceptions. A personal matchmaker and, in particular, Debbie, gets results. I think it's a matter of continuing to try and not giving up. Debbie kept trying and, as an example, just found a great lady and we clicked immediately - we have so much in common and she is so sweet. We exchanged information. I called Debbie right away and thanked her and told her that she deserves to be employee of the year. David G.

    I began my IJL experience extremely disheartened because I was matched with a few matchmakers who weren't a good fit for me and didn't get what I was looking for or seem invested in me finding love, but that all changed when I was transferred to Sheri. She's like the best friend you wish you had in that she gets to know you and what you're looking for and peps you up and is also realistic with you. She's been extremely communicative and committed and has matched me twice so far, both with guys who fit my specifications and were really fun to talk to. It's been a little weird because I signed up prior to COVID and am now doing virtual dating but she has been working just as hard and I'm confident that, with her as my wingwoman, I'll find love in no time.

    I gave my overall rating as a 4 because prior to getting matched with Sheri, I'd have given IJL a 2. It was rough! But she's exceptional - 10 stars out of 5 - and has made it all worthwhile. I would say, if you sign up with the company, find out who you'll be working with and see if you can have a say in who your matchmaker is because Sheri is the best and I know without her I'd still be discouraged and wouldn't be making progress. Good luck in your dating search!

I told her I wasn’t ready to move forward and she reassured me that she would be there whenever I wanted to discuss the matter and there was no need to make the decision until I felt comfortable.

    This company is a waste of money and they sure waste a whole lot of it (to the tune of $**.) During the recruitment process, they promise you the moon and back, but they simply cannot deliver. They tell you there are so many men that would fit your criteria. They even start talking about the details to get you excited. My recruiter said stuff like “oooo there’s another guy in your area who’s a physician. He fits your criteria to a T!” After I’ve signed up and paid the money, my dating specialist never called me. After about 3 months of waiting, I finally called her and she says “I’m still working on your matches.”

    2 more months after that, she finally introduced me to a man who had none of what I was looking for. When I explained to her that he had none of the criteria I’m looking for, she very rudely explained that I should be more flexible. She added insult to injury when she basically insinuated that beggars can’t be choosers! I do not have a single good thing to say about this company, my recruiter, or my dating specialist.

    I am very pleased with IJL! The current situation with the COVID virus has seriously dented the actual lunch possibilities but I feel they are more than making up for it with the virtual dates. Special kudos to my area matchmaker. Interacting with her is as much fun as the dates!???

    My experience with IJL so far has been ok. I rejoined the site a couple of months ago and went on my first virtual date a few days back and that went good. The matchmaker that I am working with Sheri has been very helpful and very informative about what I need to do for the time being while the service is going through this transition until things go back to normal.

    FRAUD! FRAUD! FRAUD! Warning! Don't join It's Just Lunch! They are the biggest fraud on this planet. Here is my story. I joined their service in Nov 2019 and sales girl really talked me into this. She convinced to join It's Just Lunch! for a 12 months 24 dates package. They will talk to you very nicely before you join them. Sweet talkers. I am a victim of that. So what they do is they will give you a match maker after you join. I was given a match maker very first day of joining. When I talked to the match maker I came to know Sales girl and match maker don't even match on their thinking, I was like, "Damn I got screwed." I paid already and now I am stuck. It is a lot of money. I paid 4000$.

    Then I called this sales lady and I said, "This is what your matchmaker is saying and you told me something else about your process of picking matches." One more thing they have no online systems, so there is your RED flag. Anyways I said I wanna cancel my services and refund me my money. Sales lady said, "Give me one more chance and I will fix it, I will give another match maker," she again convinced me. This all was communicated through emails, I have all email conversations.

    Then I was given famous match maker Vanessa. Now this match maker will appear only once a month or only when I call her or do a follow up. Anyways I got first match after almost 2 months, Guess what that match person was nowhere close to what I was told about her, I felt like they planted that person, Fraud, another RED flag. Then I called Vanessa and said, "Please don't repeat the same thing, I am looking for someone serious." She said just go out and have fun on dates, I was like what the hell, I can have fun without even joining It's Just Lunch! I wanna meet someone like minded. I am highly educated and I want someone similar. I paid lot of money for this and I want quality dates.

    One more thing 12 months, 24 dates package, that means at least 2 dates per month or more, this was the promise done by sales lady. Vanessa said, "No it is only 1 date per month," I said I don't see that anywhere in the contract. She said it is there in the contract, I said, "Show me where it is, call me, let's do a facetime." Guess what. She was wrong and she never wanted to do facetime. Another Red Flag. I asked Vanessa to give me a call for 5 mins every Friday just to discuss what is going on with my profile and what she did for my potential matches. Guess what. One month passed. She disappeared. Sales lady also disappeared, no longer with It's Just Lunch! RED FLAG! I said this is not what I expected and I want my money back.

    GUYS PLEASE DON'T JOIN It's Just Lunch! DON'T SPEND 4000$. They are not worth it. Once you join they will treat you like trash. I sent an email to It's Just Lunch! CEO, Her name is Melissa Brown, I sent all these details to her, She had her VP's call me and discuss my case, I explained my case and I clearly said I want my money back. As per their contract I am not eligible for refund, well I was also not eligible to get horrible services, who will pay for that? These people don't care about their customers. RED FLAGS all around, please don't join It's Just Lunch! I have all the email communications with me.

    “It’s Just Lunch” is a paid matching making service and I’ll be the first to tell you that I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I signed up. I’ve never used a matching making service before, but I turned to this option after several discouraging experiences with dating apps including Hinge and Bumble. What dating apps don’t tell you is that using them has to become at least a part time job, swiping through endless profiles, hoping to find someone with similar interests, then setting up the date (I guess because I’m a guy and girls don’t feel like they should make dating suggestions), only to be judged and treated like a number or an inconvenience with an arrogant date.

    Upon signing up for “It’s Just Lunch” and paying the fee, I felt like I was listened to and feedback and advice from the matchmakers was always insightful and helpful. I was assigned to Sheri, N executive matchmaker who has been very polite, relaxed, patient and helpful with me as we navigate the personal matchmaking experience together. Trust me when I tell you that paying a matchmaker service to do all “the work” of dating for you, they pick a serious match who’s looking for the exact same things, they set up the first date, AND someone like Sheri willingly offers great coaching and advice if you’re willing to be humble and listen. It’s truly a great experience and I thank Sheri personally and the “It’s Just Lunch” team for taking my concerns and interests seriously and leading me through this new experience.

    The first lady I talked to after putting together suggested that I try older women than the age range that I put on my initial profile. My fault is that I let her do that. My dating coach was not helpful. The company gave me different dating coordinators each month. Most of the women they offered were older than the age range I put on my online profile. I went on a second date with only one of the women they set me up with. After that second date, I never heard from her again. The first woman they set me up with (who was older than the age range that I put on my online dating profile) told me that it would not work. Since I work in a facility that does not allow personal cell phones inside the building, I said I prefer email.

Going on my 10th date in 4 months, the men are all fun, interesting and accomplished and wanting to meet someone too. Have been on several dates with some of my matches and can't wait to go on my next date! Enjoy having a dating coach to talk about the men and 'next steps.' Also like the feedback sessions to fine tune future matches which is what makes IJL so special. Thank you Rebecca, Julie, Jolene, Sarah and Samantha for continuing to provide quality matches for me and navigate together this new very hopeful dating time in my life.

    I am currently dating my 3rd match with IJL. The first two gentlemen although very nice, were just not what I was looking for in a match. The third match was a charm indeed, and after two months we are still enjoying one another's company. I am grateful to Mel for hanging in there with me and always being positive with her attitude.

    I paid for the service and I had hoped it would be a big help in finding a match. The service is a scam and don’t waste your money. I was given one date and one photo in 6 months. No one has contacted me since. This was such a waste of money and my expectations were very very high after talking to their Vice President, however everything she said didn’t happen. There were no men in my age range at all. 6 months later I’m still waiting. What a joke. Check out the class action suit online... Unfortunately when I found out they were being sued it was too late. They over promise and under deliver. After 3 matchmakers later I have given up. This company is untruthful and puts in a good face and lets you believe they will find you matches. Buyer beware... It’s a scam.

    Total SCAM. After a tough break up I signed up with It’s Just Lunch thinking it was the Boston firm called Just lunch. When asking if this was the Boston firm Just Lunch...I got, "Oh ya we have offices in Boston." Sales consultant Eva was very good selling company bullets, "We have 30,000 clients, we have 150 marriages a year... We have personal matchmakers that will stay with you, organize dates and meetings along the way, your personal wingman." All B.S. As soon as they withdrew $3000. from my account they take their sweet time to start process.

    Two weeks later my personal matchmaker does a 5 minute Skype with me. Now she’s my best friend. She knows all about me & my likes. She’s going to show me 100s of dates. NOT. But the deal is IJL shows and promises 12 dates within 6 months or whatever comes first. IJL showed me photos of 3 women. The first girl was fat. Second photo heavy makeup just came up from mother basement, 3rd photo women was very attractive. Her second photo was no makeup. True depiction. She’s obviously works on Halloween.

    Obviously I wasn’t happy with the process and IJL. And they knew that and they became silent from November to January 20. I still have not gone out on date and communication has stopped. I’ve sent four or five emails. I’ve called repeatedly. My personal matchmaker avoids me like the plague. I’ve asked for a refund and even willing to give them money back just to get out of it and they refuse and go silent. Bottom line if you looking for a website move past It’s just lunch. Sal

    My matchmaker, Sheri, was pleasant and helpful, But, overall I found the experience quite disappointing. The agency doesn't gather interesting information or learn enough about the clients to effectively be able to match us. It doesn't appear they understand the New York market - why somebody from NJ wouldn't want to come into NYC after work for a drink. Or, why a Westchester person going to mid-town on the east side for a lunch date isn't the most convenient. Additionally, it takes weeks to set up a date. The process seems to be quite time consuming for no apparent reason. I'm going back to online dating - I never thought I'd be happy to say that.

    On Oct 30 I signed up with IJL, I thought it was a good way to meet good, interesting and serious matches. I had my first interview with Kristina, it seemed they had a bunch of matches for me. I live in Ft Laud, I accepted to date people between Hollywood and Boca initially. I made it very clear that I was interested in guys close to my age, tall and athletic. I'm 58. Already during the interview she suggested a super athletic guy 72 y old. I denied.

    I was charged 2495 $ for 12 months. 12 dates guaranteed. Then I had my second interview with Brandis, who after one week proposed a man who was 63 but looked 73. I complained, they said that in my membership I accepted men between 53 and 68. NOT TRUE. I started a dispute with Amex because I want out and I do not want to pay. The second match after 3 weeks was out of shape. Then on Dec 30 Jake writes to set up a call and talk about my 3 match. I never received a call from Jake.

    I want to warn others before spending money on this company to think it over wisely because I debated a long time before I signed up with them after I went through a divorce! The agent I talked to was very outgoing and promised I’d be matched I believe it was 2 times a month and that yes the matches would be in detail as I described in searching for a soulmate! After talking with her (the matchmaker) for a few times her words painted a pretty picture in my mind of how nice it would be to be with a loved one that fit my desired description etc! I finally signed up and paid them 2400.00 and I told them I’m more concerned about having a match as I described rather than a quick fast match and waste the matches' time and mine and theirs!

    Well the first match came a few days later and I reviewed the description and could see not even one thing that I described in my description of what type of woman I’m seeking! For a long time I didn’t hear back ((their promise was that every so often I’d be matched) then I called them and OH WE HAVE A MATCH! Again I reviewed their match of choice and found very few things that were as I was searching and declined again! I didn’t hear from them for a long time so I finally sent a email and said this is not working out. I want a refund and immediately they came back OH WE HAVE A MATCH! And again it was far off from what I described and I declined!

    So now they have my $2400.00, they have not done one thing they promised they would, they basically rush into a match when you call or contact them to pacify you! I would feel sorry to meet with the match because knowing what this company does I could not get myself to disappoint a woman like that (this company appears like unethical business company and just out to get your money and that’s it! They refuse to refund any of the money!
