    I went on my first date two days ago and it went really well. The first match, so far from what I have experienced, was pretty spot on with what I’m looking for. I was surprised that I received a second match so quickly even before the date with my first match. That made me a bit uncomfortable, but it all worked out.

    They will sell you, take your money, send you on a few horrible dates not listening to what you are actually looking for in a mate and leave you extremely disappointed. It’s gotten worse since they moved their entire operation to Florida. Do yourself a favor and skip this service. It’s a waste of money.

    Took some time to get me dates, but I did meet a great guy on here. I would not of met him if I had not joined, “It's Just Lunch”. The one thing I did notice, was my profile was not accurate and I explained it in the date. Pat was telling me as we discussed our profiles on the first date how many times he had to bug you to update his profile. Bottom line is the system worked so far in our case, but it is a case of better lucky than good as far as the information in the profiles as compared to what The clients requested.

    Unless the dating pool in the Cleveland area was that low. I followed up after every date but it never felt like I was being listened too. I was set up with women well outside my area. I was flat out told that a lot of women said no because of my height. It just seems like this will only work if you are the ideal height for women.

    It’s Just Lunch Mary called me for months recruiting me to the platform. Very nice lady but told me that my “standards were high,” but that was good that women were able to communicate what they want. I should have ran when I heard that comment. My matchmaker, Lisa, was also very nice and spent some time with me via FaceTime to get to know me and get my profile and dating parameters set. Lisa stated that when she found a match, she would contact me to discuss him. Also, she mentioned that it was important to share any concerns that I may have so she could adjust for them when finding matches. I mentioned that two of my fundamental values were that my matches needed to be a Christian and between ages 55-62, that I was looking for someone who is intelligent and sophisticated with a lifestyle similar to mine.

    Well, the first match (who was emailed to me, not by Lisa, but by Hartley, someone I never met) was 68 years old and “spiritual,” which is different from being a Christian. And the photo was blurry which made it worst. When I reached out to Mary and Lisa, crickets. Mary couldn’t call me enough when she was recruiting me, but as soon as I gave them feedback on the match that was sent, they ghosted me. That’s unacceptable customer service, especially when you’re paying $2,000. Run, do not use this service. They’re are salespeople and are extremely courteous when they are courting you. They will try and get you to submit a testimony prior to your first match so you can compliment the service before the other shoe drops.

    My It's Just Lunch experience started out great with the gentleman who helped sign me up. There were a few bumps in the road with my first matchmaker who didn't listen to me as much as I would have liked. I was given a new matchmaker, Aleisha, who has been really great. She listens to my likes and concerns and does not push me towards one candidate or another. As we have worked together and I have gone on dates I feel that she is understanding me more and what I am looking for, and I am so grateful.

    I invested in myself and signed up for IJL a few months ago. Had a fabulous experience from beginning to end. Beginning, I was speaking to Kate, who asked me all of the original interview questions to get to know me better. At that first set of calls, I decided to wait on joining. I heard from Kate a couple more times over the next few months, and after speaking with her again, I decided to pay my fee and join. I was then speaking with Dominique, who was thorough, asked me more questions to get to know me and my interests more, and was my "coach" for the rest of the time. My first date was just ok, but looked good on paper. About a month later I was set up on another date with a guy named Barry, and after 5 dates, I am with him, I adore him, he adores me, we are taking it slow, and do not want to date anyone else. Excellent service, loved everyone I spoke to from IJL, and I couldn't be happier.

    Cons: very expensive, no way out of the contract, they have an unlimited amount of time to find matches based on the contract, so you could wait 10 years if they don’t have what you are looking for, but they will say they can fulfill it, difficult to set up the dates, very deceitful. Pros: they verify you are who you say with your ID. I signed up for this company on March 4th. Prior to signing the contract, I shared with 2 different recruiters over 4 conversations that I was unsure of their ability to find men who were active in their Christian faith. I shared that this was the most important piece to me and that I was worried about them finding matches that fit this (I explained in more detail to them). I was assured by both people, that this would be no problem, that they had many matches that fit what I was looking for and they even shared the names of some of these supposed matches.

    I was sent on one date, who did not meet the faith criteria (which I also shared in depth with my matchmaker). After sharing my feedback following the date, I was told they had no matches that fit what I was looking for, and that they would have to recruit. Then suddenly, without any communication, I was assigned a new matchmaker. I shared my frustration about them lying to me prior to signing up and that I had signed up 2 months previously and had been on one date (who did not meet my criteria). Not to mention, that setting up the time/date for this was a nightmare since you have to go through this company and none of the matches times matched with mine. I was also give the date and time the day before it was scheduled.

    After these 2 months with almost no communication from them with the exception of one email from a different matchmaker with a generic ‘we are working on finding matches for you’, I called and said I want a refund and to cancel because they lied to me. She then told me that they actually couldn’t ask any follow up questions to gain more information about faith, which meant they lied to me twice.

    This company will say anything, all the right things, to get you to sign up, but there is no protection for the consumer with that contract. And my person wanted me to sign it without even reading it. I have asked for a refund and cancellation from the Vice President and she will say she is going to do next steps to do this, but then doesn’t do it. This company is extremely deceitful. They will say they can meet their contract because literally they have an unlimited amount of time. If you have a ton of money to blow and don’t need flexibility in the date set up, and have no requirements that are beyond age, gender, and religion (the blanket statement), then go for it. Just be warned.

    My experience has been fairly miserable. I've been on only 1 date set up by IJL, and I've been a "client" for over 3 months. The venue of the date is probably the worst place to take someone on a first date. I was told that I had a reservation at 7, when I arrived at 7 there was nobody to check in with. My date and I stood around for 5 minutes looking for someone to talk with about the reservation. Literally nobody was in the restaurant except my date and me. The waiter didn't split the check, which made my date feel uncomfortable.

    The person who I was set up with on the date is from an area 2 hours away from the venue. She arrived late, and was confused by nobody being in the restaurant to talk to about the reservation. To be honest I feel like I was taken advantage of by IJL, and based on the first date, clearly they don't have a clue about Richmond. I also can't believe the lady I was set up with had to drive 2 hours one way just to arrived at an empty restaurant with no employees to check in with. Then once we actually started to eat some crazy lady came up to us from the back and made my date and I feel very uncomfortable. Just how the crazy lady was talking to my date was disrespectful to her and me. Literally nobody in the restaurant and I have to deal with some crazy cleaning lady from the back???? I don't think this service will work, and I feel like IJL lied to me about their services.

    I called It's Just Lunch in a moment of loneliness and allowed myself to be talked into signing a contract. About 1 week later, I met someone naturally (not thru IJL). I called IJL asking what my options were, such as a partial refund. The answer was a resounding no. I signed the contract. They keep all of my money, regardless of the fact that I made no use of their service at all. I understand they did some initial work on my behalf; I am perfectly willing to pay for that. My warning to consumers is to be certain before you sign. Once you sign, you are committed and there is no going back.

They hype themselves up as match-making geniuses, when all they are really doing is forwarding a one page profile of another client that you may or may not be interested in.

    Communication is poor - I waited several weeks between matches and then was hounded to confirm availability, even warned that my membership would be canceled. Certain criteria I had asked for in matches were repeatedly ignored. I had to leave work early and travel far for most dates, which caused a lot of stress. I had hoped for a relaxed, enjoyable experience where the pressure of dating was reduced. Instead I felt like more value was placed on getting feedback and dates arranged.

    Hi everyone, Wanted to pass on some highlights for It's Just Lunch. Here are some pros and cons: *Admin note - my background: male, no kids, been with IJL for a year and a half.

    Pros:

    - Was impressed with the organization as a whole to match someone up with another person's QUALITIES. That IS a bit rare.

    - I really think they DID match me up with what I was looking for in someone. Will admit- think the qualities a woman would be looking for in a man would be similar to (close to, but not always the same as) the qualities a man is looking for in a woman, so admittedly my case is probably different.

    *e.g.- Not too long ago I gave some different feedback in what I was looking for in someone. a) At first I thought I wanted someone 'exciting', like a Ghost of Christmas Present haha; b) then I thought I wanted someone a little bit calmer; c) and now I think I can say I'm looking for someone in between, ie someone exciting but still patient and emotionally understanding.

    The 'directors' WERE able to take my feedback each time and find some people who had those qualities. I still think that was pretty rare, and they did deliver.

    Cons:

    - Main theme - All offers in this organization are handled over the phone. I haven't seen ANY prices listed ANYWHERE on any sites for how much the program is. I understand some of the categories or criteria may be different, (ie gender, if you have kids, income, age, do you WANT someone with kids, etc) so everyone has a different set of circumstances, but still. I was a little surprised to not see ANY prices given. (I knew this was going to be an expensive program, and it is, but it would be beneficial to have at least SOMETHING listed on the website, ie how much coaching sessions are.)

    *Areas for improvement (true for any organization) - Short version for me is I started off working with matchmakers in a local 'field office'. A few months ago I was switched to a national-level matchmaker in a completely different part of the country (Debbie, see below). Wasn't really a problem, but it did catch me a bit off guard. Kinda missed the personal face-to-face feeling of knowing I was talking with someone locally (ie someone who knows the local area, can say it's raining here and it's raining there too haha).

    Longer version (spoilers) - Some of those field offices tried roping me into 'high pressure sales tactics' with higher-paid offers over the phone, saying "I need this right now." - I accepted the first offer, and I'm still glad I did. - A year later, I had someone try to get me to agree to a higher offer, and I had only 30 mins to agree to it. (Debbie has since told me she does not use high pressure sales tactics, and I believe her. More on her at the end.) - To this day I wish I would have told them I would think about it over the weekend and would get back with them on Monday. Maybe I should be grateful- I'm a stronger person for it now!

    *I'm still kind of curious to see if an 'annual renewal' offer will be e-mailed out several weeks ahead of time, or will only be via phone like the last one was.

    Bottom line - I think this organization is worth it. I take responsibility for my actions, past and present. 1. I would think AHEAD of time about what you would be willing to pay for different levels of services. (I'm a quiet guy, so this organization did help me quite a bit. Would not have met some just PERFECT women if not for IJL. They said no tho haha.) 2. I do think a relationship with your director is important. 3. Finally, I would also be aware of any time-sensitive offers over the phone. Would recommend telling them you'll need a few days to think about it and I would stick to that, no matter how upset or demanding they are haha. Those are my thoughts and my opinions!

    *About Debbie - She is a very determined, strong-willed, straightforward and even indifferent person. Very professional, very assertive, very energetic & enthusiastic. Almost like an agent in sports. I do think she has produced results. I was perhaps skeptical at first, mainly because I had no idea I was being transferred to her, but my experiences with her in the past few months have been nothing but positive! Felt like I had Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank working for me haha.

    - I liked that line "you are responsible for what you write" hahaha.

    I was called in July 2018 and decided to join based on several matches they “had waiting for me”. After signing the contract and paying, I found out they don’t have any presence in my state, offered me matches that were non-paying members, wouldn’t allow me to change any characteristics (age bracket) of suitable matches, did not return phone calls, and finally told me my contract had expired after only two dates. They are horrible to deal with and did not deliver on any of the promises or commitments made during the sales pitch. I’ve since found out they’ve been involved in several class action lawsuits for the same reasons.

    I should have followed my gut in the first telephone call: the IJL rep was obviously working from a hard sell game plan. But... I decided "What the heck," and signed up. Beware, it's WAY too much money for the service! They have never provided the service promised. 1) One date in 6 months, and that with a man with whom I shared zero interests. 2) I had several different "matchmakers" over that time. Admittedly, one was change at my insistence because the matchmaker was SO rude it was shocking. 3) I was berated because I insisted upon lunch meetings rather than evenings (I kid you not) and was told "Then you must not want to meet any CEO's."

    4) As the 6 month contract was coming to a close with only 1 arranged date they suddenly kept pushing a man with whom I knew it wouldn't work due to his religious priorities. But as a show of good faith I even agreed to go! Yet after 3 exchanges with IJL of my availabilities a date never materialized, leading me to suspect the man doesn't even exist within their program. And yes, take note! They will match you with people that are not within their program! I was not aware of this when I signed up. And I have no idea where they get these matches. Match.com? Again, beware. I've read the good reviews and I can only say they are describing an entirely different company than the one I experience.

Unfortunately I wasted three dates because of this. I’m also pretty unimpressed by how long it took to get dates. By talking to the salesman I figured I’d at least get one a month. Also extremely hard to get a response back about where things are at and would could be done to make this a better experience. For the amount of money this service cost, I expected much more.

When I gave feedback, no response was given. Today, 4/18/19, I received a call fro the Corporate Recruiter asking me to sign up again. I relayed my experience and asked her for her email so I could send her my correspondence over the past four years. She refused to give me her email!!! Meaning, that she had no intention of really helping me; forwarding me to an individual who could rectify or assist me. This translates to just wanting to sell me and dump me as before.

I’ll see where it goes from here.

    They prey on woman who are hopelessly looking for a relationship. The initial call is designed to hard sell and get your credit card. No discussion that it’s nonrefundable. Being Nonrefundable, IJL has NO incentive to provide quality service. They know they can’t or won’t deliver, so they have a nonrefundable policy. They don’t have a large pool of men so they know when taking your money ($**!) many of the dates were with men who are not paying like I did. The men told me they get calls to go on dates without having to pay just to go out with their female paying clients! No matchmaking there. Not even one man and I had anything in common, not one! They promised to match me with men who want serious relationships. Men that were thoughtfully matched because of commonality. NOT, NEVER.

I have been a member of IJL twice (once in 2014 and currently) and I can honestly say Melissa is one of the most fun and responsive Matchmaker I have had. She stays in touch and keeps me informed. She responds immediately or soon after I reach out to her (email or phone) with questions. Melissa has found some very nice matches for me, who are attractive, share similar interests as I, and fun and outgoing. Melissa is fun and energetic during phone calls. She makes me feel important and gives full attention to me and easily and clearly answers my questions. She is never vague or makes me feel like I still have unanswered questions.

    I have had a very positive experience with It's Just Lunch working with Aleisha and her team. Becoming single again after many years can be intimidating and I wasn't sure where to start. While traveling, I read an ad for It's Just Lunch and decided to give it a try. From the first phone call, the team there made me feel comfortable and confident in its process. Still doubtful, I decided what do I have to lose and I might as well try it. The team at It's Just Lunch spent a lot of time talking with me to get to know me and build my profile. Matches were sent to me for my review, then I could decide if I wanted to proceed.

    I've been a memeber now for close to three months and I have met three gentlemen. All were very kind and better in person than their profile picture. All the dates were enjoyable experiences. It was very comfortable entering the restaurant, where the hostess would take me to my match. The restaurants chosen by It's Just Lunch had friendly attentive wait staff, great food, and an inviting atmosphere. I have been very pleased with my experience so far and can't wait to see what It's Just Lunch has in store for me in the future.

    I was sold an entirely different service than what I actually received. The salesperson "selling" the service to me promised MUCH more than they could deliver. But once they have your money, there is no recourse. No refunds. No help. No service. After promising me that I would be matched with people who lived in my "area", My first match was someone who lived 80 miles from me. Of course you are not told where your match lives until you meet them in person. So if you accept a match (at $** each), its just hit or miss as to where they live. After I paid my money, I was informed that the IJL definition of "area" is about 100 mile radius from my location.

    When I met my first match, she informed me that she herself was not a paying member of IJL, (another omitted detail when you sign up is that you may be matched with anyone in the database, not just other members). She actually told me that she was not interested in dating but was just "doing my recruiter a favor" by meeting with me.

    There is not enough time or space in this review to go through all the details of how awful this service is. Of course they will tout their few success stories, but they are few and far between. Apparently the pool of candidates is not very deep either. After only three matches, they start re-sending me previous matches that I had already declined. After declining them a second time, the marketing dept. started applying the pressure to be "open to new experiences". Which is code for just accept what we have because we have nothing else to offer you. I (pre)paid for 4 total matches at $2000 total. After asking me specifically what I was looking for in a match, only one of the four actually met all of the criteria I had listed. Total waste of money.

    It's Just Lunch is an amazing matchmaking site! I have been on several other dating sites and they are glorifying the 'hook up' culture that's prevalent among our population. It's Just Lunch (IJL) is totally different. They start with a personal interview (either in person or Skype). They will then try and match you to people that they think you would be interested in after you talked with them. Then they assign you a personal matchmaker.

    The woman assigned to me has been excellent. Her name is Pilar, and she has been a great match maker! She will send brief information out via email on a new potential match, will follow that up with several phone calls to see if I am interested. If I am interested she goes and sets up the date; time date and location. Then it's up to me to determine if the date is someone that I want to continue to see. The matchmaking process through IJL has been a terrific experience! I will continue to recommend their services to my friends and coworkers. It's the only online dating service that makes any kind of sense in my book.

    This so called exclusive dating service is a complete waste of money. I even asked for back after being set up on only one date in four months. If they didn’t absolutely refuse to offer some of my money back I wouldn’t be writing this review. I went on one date and refused 4 matches they sent me because some were not my type and others I had meet on free dating apps like Bumble.

    It’s the same people on IJL as Blumble except you’re paying $3800 for someone to email you a PDF and short write up about the person. They also didn’t inform me that after 6 declined dates it counts as one of their garantes dates. I went on one date and was willing to take 50% loss on the $3800 investment into their service which I absolutely regret spending and they absolutely refused to allow any refund to happen even though I felt they are not doing what I paid for. The match maker was horrible to deal with which was confirmed on my first date as she also had the same match maker and also said customer Service was atrocious.

    I would strongly recommend that you do not pay for this service if you were on the fence about it as painful as some of these swiping apps are you’re seeing the same people you will when you pay $3800 for. I would travel with your money. They're also clever to ask you to write a review if you’ve had a positive first date right after. (I did this without knowing what the next few months would have in store which was zero communication). They claim this is supposed to be a personalized experience and is quite the opposite of that. Stick to Bumble and being frustrated with Swiping apps over spending your money that you could travel with.

    IJL is a huge racket. I paid ** for 6 months of "dating" with a minimum of 4 dates. It was obvious there would be no more than 4 dates when, weeks would go by without hearing from them. THAT IS ** A DATE! For **...you would expected each date to be a worthwhile, meaningful & promising experience... This was NOT been the case. Warm bodies in my age group, no other "matching" perceived. It appears not many single men are willing to pay for a membership, but I fell for their spiel that they did. I recommend people to STAY AWAY and don't fall for the IJL spiel. The first "date" they hook you with is fake and by the time you've signed on the dotted line, that person "is no longer available". Sadly my experience was a waste of money and my time.

    I joined IJL 9/30/18 during a phone call when I was promised:
    1. You WILL go on dates.
    2. You will ONLY be matched with men serious about finding a partner.

    3. IJL will do ALL the work so you can relax.

    10/12/18: My matchmaker Natalie sends my first match. I give date options for 3 weeks. 10/31/18: Natalie never responds. I ask if I should send more dates. She says yes. I send date options for 4 weeks. Natalie never initiates contact after that. 11/8/18: Another matchmaker Jasmine sends a new match. I ask what happened to the first one but she doesn't acknowledge my question. I send 4 weeks of date options. 11/15/18: I find out my first date will be 11/30/18.

    11/30/18: My match cancels. I'd arranged and paid for a babysitter for the night. No apologies from Jasmine. She pressures me to reschedule for the weekend. I tell her I don't want to date someone who cancels at the last minute. I'd been with IJL for 2 months, had wasted enough time/money, and had 0 dates. I tell Jasmine/Natalie I want to cancel and get a refund. Natalie responds that she is working on my next match. She doesn't acknowledge my dissatisfaction or request for a cancellation/refund. Nobody from IJL speaks to me for over 2 months. 1/27/19: I call IJL to complain and ask for a cancellation/refund again. I'm told that only Natalie can help. I'm sent to Natalie's voicemail but she doesn't answer or return my calls. I send another email.

    1/28/19: Natalie calls and says she's not the one to talk to about cancellations/refunds. She says a supervisor will call in 48 hours. Still no apologies. 1/31/18: A supervisor calls 24 hours late. He apologizes but refuses my request. He says they can't do refunds. The contract I signed disproves this. I ask him to cancel my membership. He refuses. He is in a hurry to get off the phone, and tells me that my next match will be coming soon.

    I’m new to IJL so I am only ready to give 3 stars as it has been decent so far and I have been on only 1 date. The 1st date was a lot of what I was looking for in personality and overall outlook on life but the attraction was missing so I am eagerly awaiting what is selected next for me as I feel we r close :). One thing I would say is there should probably be a weekly check in to at least update on where they are at as far a setting up your next match.

    I've been on two dates so far, but I do feel that IJL is doing a good job of finding interesting and compatible women for me to meet. I'd like to give particular thanks to the two IJL staffers I'm working with, Marshaad ** and Monique **; they stay in close touch and check in with me before and after every date. My only criticism of IJL (and it's simply an IJL policy decision at this point) is that I would like to have video chats with my matchmaker so that they have a better idea of who I am. And of course I would want them to be having video chats with their other clients as well. The process of matchmaking would seem to me to be about knowing what the candidates are really like and having a sense of who might pair well with whom. But otherwise, so far so good! I am happy to be working with them and I feel my money was well spent.

    My experience with IJL has been terrible. From the beginning, I laid out my criteria for a match and was assured that there were plenty good ones in my area so I agreed to pay the high fee. After that, I spoke with my dating director and she was terrible. After my first 2 conversations I tried to complain and ask for a new director on 2 different occasions, but they would never escalate my complaint. She kept sending over matches just to send them. They were not what we had talked about. It was clear. She was just trying to blow through the contract and take the money. They finally got rid of her and I had 2 more directors.

    I physically went on 2 dates, they basically charged me for 3 even though I never had a 3rd date. And they took my money for 4, put me on hold multiple times without my knowledge, rarely reached out to me and on 4 separate occasions said they escalated my complaints, which was untrue. I never once heard from anyone above my dating director.

    The fee they charge is exorbitant for the little work and communication they provide. I’m in a populous area, so they should have been able to provide matches. DO NOT waste your money with IJL. You are much better to just use Match or other similar dating app. IJL will take their time “to find the right match.” But it ends up wasting the timeframe in your contract and then say that you, the consumer, the purchaser of goods, was non-compliant with the contract. From there, they just take off with the money without providing the services they so publicly portray.

    In the year that I have been a member, I have had only one match. The match was pleasant but the gentleman was IJL's "Go TO" person for my geographical area. He was not a good match for me. After the first 6 months were up and there had been no other activity (not even an email), I tried to cancel and get some of my money refunded. READ THE CONTRACT carefully. IJL's obligation is to find you 4 matches within the first 6 months, but there is no end date for IJL. There is no way to get a refund on your investment if IJL does not come through for you.

    In the year's time, I have had one 30-minute interview with the salesperson that sold me the 6-month subscription. Then I had one video interview to make sure I was who I said I was. I had another 15-minute coaching session. Subsequently I have had 3 emails assuring me that they are working on my match (August, October and December). NO MATCH. Although I have been told I am very attractive, active, and interesting, IJL has not found anyone for me. PLEASE BE CAREFUL BEFORE SIGNING THE CONTRACT. I would NOT recommend this dating service for anyone over 70, or even 65.
