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 ⸻
Working with IJL has been a pleasure. The team is attentive and timely and genuinely cares about finding a match!
We deeply value your positive feedback and look forward to supporting you on many more successful matchmaking experiences.
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.
Hi Kari, thank you for your feedback. Your membership provides you with 12 months, 12 dates, whichever comes last. With this membership, you can expect to hear about date on average one time per month, which we have provide. You joined 11. 20. 24 and have been provided 7 dates thus far; 5 you have declined the opportunity to meet. We are hard at work on your next date and look forward to touching base soon.
Lisa D helped to find my match according to similarities, interests and values. It didn't happen with the first date but we kept narrowing down to find the compatibilities. Thank you Lisa for your professionalism.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are happy to hear you are enjoying working with your matchmaker and we look forward to your next date.
I had a lovely first date through IJL, and they hit it out of the ballpark with the match. Eyrina and Team set me up with a high integrity man who displayed the traits of leadership and being a gentleman. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you IJL for making the dating process so easy.
We are thrilled to hear about your delightful experience thus far! Thank you for your kind words, and we hope many more wonderful dates are in store for you. Enjoy!
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.
We appreciate you sharing your positive experience and excitement about working with our matchmakers. It's fantastic to hear that your assigned executive matchmaker's expertise resonates with you. Can't wait for more memorable dates ahead!
I like that everyone is friendly and encouraging. Jaiye has been helping me and he takes the time to make sure I am comfortable with everything and answers all my questions. I was a little nervous at first but working with him has been great.
We're thrilled to hear how much you're enjoying the journey with us, and it's fantastic to know that your matchmaker has been a great support. We're delighted that you've joined us, and, as you continue your journey with IJL, we're confident you're going to build more amazing experiences. Thank you for choosing us!
My 1st date was a great experience. It was a really good date. I haven't dated in a little while, so it was nice to have a 1st smooth dating experience. I have the good fortune of working with Lisa and she is great. Lisa has found me a great potential match, and I am looking forward to my next date. I love the services so far. I am enjoying getting back into the dating game and they have some very nice ladies looking for matches and potential partners as well. Lisa is a very good matchmaker. She has listened to what I am looking for and doing for best to get me exactly what I want and need. I love not to be judged or pressured about my preferences for a match. I love how they are taking all my inputs into account. They seem to be working very hard and finding me my ideal match. The customer service has been a great experience so far. Very friendly and very personal able people. Everyone is very happy and professional at their services. I can clearly see and feel the passion from them. It has been a lovely experience for me overall. I look forward to more loving options and opportunities as time goes on. I am looking forward and have a bright outlook on finding a good match this year or next. I am a fairly new member, and I look forward to all of the great dates I will get to go on this year and as many great matches as possible to find the one!
We are so grateful for your review and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We can't wait to share with our entire team and look forward to your next date.
I had a nice first date experience. By giving feedback to Jaiye is really good because he finds out more about me and what I am looking for. I have am very happy talking with Jaiye and excited to see who the next date will be.
Thank you Tammie! We look forward to your next fun first date!
Don't waste your money unless you live in a major metropolitan area. If you don't, you will be matched with people who live 1 to 4, or more, hours away from you. The "matchmakers" are lousy. They have zero personal interest in your dates. There was NO follow-up after dates. Most of what is claimed in the sales pitch is false. Save your money for self care.
Hi Lenna, we are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your dates. You had a 3 month 3 date membership on which IJL provided you 7 dates. We regret that you did not meet your special someone and wish you all the best. Thank you.
Very slow service…. With unsuitable candidates. Unless I reached out to customer service… only 1 candidate Avery month or month and a half is offered. The one date I did go on the lady was 50lbs heavier than her very old photos. $1000 is a lot of money for 1 date in 4 months… and all other candidates well over the age category I asked to date.
Hi Fred, you were a member for three months, with three guaranteed dates and you were provided 10 dates. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy the process or meet your special someone. Thank you.
This company is a fraud they sell you lies and make you believe that they have a limited matches for you and everything that you're looking but in reality once they get you to sign the membership, they pass you along to matchmaker that throw anybody at you from what you agreed on. My experience has been the worst. If you join this site and have issues, beware that you will get the runaround until they place you on hold or make you speak with the director of matchmaking Mike, which is a conniving. He will only tell you what you want to hear. Please know and read your agreement before applying for membership because once you're in, they will never give you what you've been looking for.
Hi Ashley, we can't validate that you were a client with IJL, can you please contact us regarding your experience and provide your full name, email and phone number? Thank you.
Overall, the experience has been average. The arrangement and coordination of the dates is very nice. Some of the restaurants were a little pricey for a casual meet-and-greet. Some of the matches were on point and some were not. I would recommend being direct on what one is looking for and giving productive feedback.
We appreciate the feedback, which is essential to the success of the matchmaking team and fine tuning the process for you. Thank you!
In a year and a half I have had several recruiters. The one I am working with now is very nice and seems very attentive. I am anxiously awaiting my next call from Jaiye to see who my next date is!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience and appreciate your kind words. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to serving you again soon!
Jaiye has been extremely responsive and supportive since I joined IJL about a year ago. I have had to take two pauses in my membership due to a long distance move to FL as well as a 3 month relationship with someone I met through OurTime. I believe I met 4 men through IJL during my 6 months' active membership time, one of whom I saw a second time. I am hopeful that with the feedback provided to Jaiye, he has a much clearer sense of a strong match for me. He certainly conveys commitment to maintain diligence in my support in finding a successful match. I look forward to these next few months and the quality of individuals he puts forward.
Your feedback is so appreciated and we look forward to the next fun first date!
My experience with It's Just Lunch has been wonderful so far! I was definitely nervous before my first date, but Dyanjray was incredibly supportive, she talked me through my nerves and reminded me of my worth and what I bring to the table. That encouragement made all the difference.
When I finally went on the date, I was pleasantly surprised! The man she matched me with was handsome, respectful, and easy to talk to, I felt comfortable right away. Dyanjray did an amazing job selecting someone who truly aligned with what I was looking for. I'm feeling hopeful and excited about what's to come with future matches!
We love this feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
This is my seventh date. Ji picked my seventh date. I agreed, and it actually was a pleasant date! Each date I have, a few more pieces of the puzzle are put in place.
Thanks Tina! We take it one date at a time and your feedback after each date helps fine tune the process.
I am learning that it is hard to describe what I am looking for in a partner and to then interpret those statements and find the right match for me.
Hi Robert! Continuing to provide your feedback after each date, will help support the matchmaking team in the search and selection process for your each date. Looking forward to more fun first dates!
Mariana is attentive and listens to my concerns and wants. She has a lot of wisdom to share and is very supportive. She makes herself available at the last minute for any questions or needs. I feel very comfortable with her and know she has my best interests at heart.
Answer: It's Just Lunch is a scam... don't do it! It's just them charging your credit card! They work hard on getting your credit card number - once you pay customer service is OVER! There's no team of people looking for you & you can't access anyone -with out them initiating a contact. In 14 months only one 'lunch'. However, because the experience was so horrible, not even It's Just Lunch counts it as 'lunch'. I've been asking for my money to be refunded. Whatever you do, be proactive for yourself & just say "no.".
Answer: Unfortunately, now I cannot share a success story, because there was absolutely nothing that was successful about this company
