It's Just LunchReviews 373

I first joined IJL 10 months ago. I enjoyed the on boarding process with Elizabeth as I was excited to get started with my next phase in life. I must admit that's where the fun stopped. After dealing with my first date advisor. I felt as though she wasn't listening to my concerns or inquiries, very mechanical approach, which I did not appreciate.
I then received a call from Lisa indicating she is my new date advisor. Lisa spent time getting to know me ask questions as to my wants and needs suddenly my dating experience changed for the better and I was excited again dealing with IjL.
After every date, Lisa would follow up with me and we will talk about it.
I highly recommend Lisa.

Finding a life partner requires lots of faith and determination tempered with patience. Relationships can be complicated and finding a place to begin is also complicated. I began this process with the words of a great University Basketball Coach who was also renowned as an inspirational public speaker, Mr. Jimmy Valvano who said near the end of his battle with cancer, "Never give up Never give up." Finding a life partner requires that same belief. I believe it also begins with Its Just Lunch.

I have worked with two great ladies at It's Just Lunch: Lisa and Catherine. They really take the time to get to know your likes/dislikes and work hard to find you a match. They make it easy by setting up everything once you and your potential match decide you want to meet. This is a much better way to meet someone over internet dating. Let the pros do their thing and find you the perfect love connection.

It was refreshing to have someone actually answer the phone and walk me through the process so thoroughly. From the start, they took the time to ask thoughtful questions and really get to know me. I spoke with a matchmaker the next day, and before I knew it, I was set up on my first date. The date went incredibly well—she had all the qualities I was looking for and was so easy to talk to. I'm genuinely looking forward to more dates with my first match. Thank you, IJL, for making the process so smooth and personal!

Working with It's Just Lunch has been a wonderful experience, and I want to take a moment to give a special shoutout to my matchmaker, Jaiye L. From our very first conversation, Jaiye made me feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported throughout the matchmaking process. He has a rare gift for balancing professionalism with warmth, and his thoughtful, intuitive approach made all the difference. Jaiye took the time to get to know me—not just what I was looking for in a partner, but who I am as a person. Every match he introduced felt intentional and aligned with my values and goals. What sets Jaiye apart is his ability to combine empathy, insight, and encouragement with a clear passion for helping people connect in meaningful ways. He truly cares about his clients, and it shows in every interaction. If you're considering It's Just Lunch, I highly recommend working with Jaiye. He's not just a matchmaker—he's a trusted guide through one of the most important journeys we take in life. Thank you, Jaiye, for your unwavering support and incredible dedication!

I have been in It's Just Lunch for 8 months and have gone on 1 date. I declined only 1 other date. Most accounts seem to be on hold. I appreciate that my matchmaker is selective in who he matches me with. Better communication would be helpful when an account is on hold instead of wondering what happened with a potential date you thought was being scheduled. Also follow up after a date to discuss the form answers would be appreciated. I also am curious as to the pool of men in the age range I'm looking for but no one could give me an approximating of this.

As a widowed male in my 50's I found myself not knowing where to start when I was ready to try dating. I was not comfortable using the dating apps now commonly used to meet people. As a busy professional, I was interested in having a personalized experience that would help me through the introduction process as well as match me with like-minded singles that shared common interests and values. IJL was the perfect solution. I was introduced to my executive matchmaker, Lisa D, who made the process both easy and painless. She handled everything - from understanding my likes and preferences to identifying compatible matches and scheduling first dates. Within two weeks I was going out on dates and meeting wonderful people. I would highly recommend their service.

My Experience with It's Just Lunch I've been using It's Just Lunch with the hope of meeting someone special through their matchmaking service. As a man looking to be matched with women who share my interests and values, I was optimistic at first. I made it clear from the start what I was looking for—someone younger, with certain qualities and physical preferences. I even provided photos and detailed information about myself. Unfortunately, the matches I've received so far haven't aligned with what I've asked for. It often feels like the matchmakers are just trying to meet a quota, rather than genuinely considering the preferences I've shared. None of the matches have been close to what I would consider a good fit, which has been disappointing. That said, my most recent matchmaker, Lisa, has been excellent in terms of communication and professionalism. She seems to be trying harder than the others to understand what I'm looking for. However, despite her efforts, I still haven't been matched with anyone I'm interested in going on a date with. Overall, while I appreciate the concept behind It's Just Lunch, my experience so far hasn't lived up to my expectations. I'm still hopeful things might improve, but up until now, I've been let down by the service. Jack ⸻

I have not had a good experience with IJL. The initial sales people hype it up and lead you to believe there are so many men they are trying to arrange a date with. Then you sign up and its crickets. They do not have men in their 60's wanting to date 60 year old women. You will only be offered men over 70. This is true. I signed up in Nov 2024 and have had 2 dates, ( they were not even active in IJL) now it is June 2025. I feel I wasted thousands of dollars for nothing. Although I like the premise, they don't have men in their dating pool. They also tell you the same canned sales pitch when you call to ask what's up - they are working on getting you a date that fits you criteria, mine was fairly common so no excuse there. I have had 3 matchmakers working with me, they keep changing, and the last one just sent me a date introduction when clearly it was not a fit at all, just to check the box and to say they are working with me. Very disappointed and I would not recommend.

Amber is amazing. I feel a close connection with her already. The first date she recommend was 100% who I am looking for. My date Chantal was also very interested in me. She stated she was looking forward to our next date. We exchanged numbers. After texting each other a few times Chantal stopped responding. So I stopped texting her. I am looking forward to who Amber recommends next. I am so happy I decided to go with IJL. I needed a change in dating. Thank you guys.
