So far my experience with IJL has been very good. The key is to have the right match maker.
Lisa has been attentive, responsive and has a great sense of connecting you with the right person.
In addition, she is pleasant and has a great sense of humor. She is highly recommended in my book.
I have successfully met 6 people with IJL so far. They have all been very nice and I am enjoying my experience so far. Lisa is responsive and thoughtful and she has chosen women for me who I am compatible with and I look forward to meeting more matches.
All but two matches have been older than me by a few years. This is fine, although so far I've found I have a little more in common with women closer to me in age.
We're delighted to hear you've had such pleasant experiences with your matches through It's Just Lunch, and we appreciate you highlighting our thoughtful matchmaking. Being attentive to age preferences is important, and we are here to support you in your dating goals. Thank you for letting us be a part of your dating journey—we're excited about what's next for you!
Excellent listeners and accurate in understanding what I'm looking for. I appreciate the ability to review dates and their pros and cons to iterate my experience. We've had some hiccups with follow-up, but that's partly my fault.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! Thank you for considering IJL, and we’re excited to continue supporting your dating goals!
I was really impressed with my match. We got along great. I love how Jaiye coached me and followed up, and he seemed to care a lot. I'm just a little disappointed in the distance factor, which is why I have only 4 stars. I see positivity in the future however.
We love to hear this and can't want to hear more from you after your upcoming date! We look forward to our partnership and supporting you in your dating goals.
Meet Nichole for an initial connection. She was charming and fun. We talked about several things and had a small meal. She is very smart and friendly. We agreed we would like to see each other again. We exchanged numbers and I walked her to her car. A nice hug to close put the date.
We love to hear this feedback and are delighted to hear you enjoyed your date. Keep us posted on if you see her again!
I went on my first "it's just lunch" date on 9/28/2025. The match quality was extremely noticeable difference compare to dating apps i have been using. I don't think the girl i meant click with me, so i hopeful for the next dating opportunity.
Thank you, John, for taking the time to share your first experience with us so positively. We look forward to supporting you on more dates to come. We look forward to your next fun first date!
It's Just Lunch is a good organization that really attempts to match people based on their requests and compatibility. Lisa is my matchmaker and she is very professional. Lisa always gets back to me if I leave a voicemail or an email. Lisa really listens to what I am saying and finds me dates based on the criteria that I give her. I wanted intelligent, she gave me intelligent. I wanted cute, she gave me cute dates. It's not easy dating at age 45, but Lisa is in my corner and is really trying (and succeeding) in helping me.
Thank you, James, for sharing your experience and kind words about your matchmakers dedication. We appreciate your trust and commitment, and we’re excited to continue supporting you on your journey ahead!
My contact Amber has been helpful. My first date was satisfactory. Good conversation and fun evening.
We are so happy to hear this, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and looking forward to your next date!
Working with the matchmaker has been a great experience, but there seem to be a limited number of men available in my area.
We are happy to hear you are enjoying working with a professional IJL matchmaker. We are here for you every step of the way!
My experience has been generally satisfactory. However, I have had several referrals that did not materialize followed by lengthy periods of no referrals. This is discouraging, especially since I try to be accommodating to my referrals. I like personally meeting the people referred to me instead of on-line. The other point: due to my life schedule, sometimes I cannot respond to your request for dates to meet a referral as quickly as IJL seems to want. I will get the "Are you available to date" email before I have a chance to read the original email. Then, when I do provide dates and times to meet, I find out that the person is moving in a different direction. A little more time would be helpful. Again, overall, it has been satisfactory but with the shortcomings described above. I do appreciate the efforts of executive matchmakers.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Your questions have been passed along to our team. Thank you for being an IJL client.
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.
Thank you, Larry, for sharing your thoughtful feedback and highlighting your matchmaker's dedication to understanding you better. We're glad her approach reignited your excitement and will continue striving to support your journey in a meaningful way.
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.
We appreciate the comparison, Jimmy V was one of the greats! We completely agree, there is a lid for every pot. Never give up on yourself or happiness.
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.
We are truly delighted to know that you have had such a positive experience with your journey so far with IJL. Thank you for sharing your experience – here's to IJL bringing many more great encounters your way!
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!
Max, thank you so much for sharing your experience—we're thrilled to hear the personalized approach and attentive conversations made your journey both smooth and enjoyable. It’s fantastic your first date was such a great match, and we’re here to support you as you look forward to what comes next!
I worked with Jaiye. Jaiye has been great, very understanding and supportive, from our very first conversation through the whole process. I highly recommend It's Just Lunch, if you really want to find your special someone.
Thank you immensely for your enthusiastic recommendation and positive experiences with It's Just Lunch! Here's to finding that special someone and continuing to enjoy each impressive match together!
My matchmaker Lisa D. Has gone out of here way to find suitable matches for me. She is an attentive listener who will make it her business to contact me when I request that she does so!
Thank you so much, Suzanne, for your kind words! Lisa truly enjoys supporting you, and we're excited to continue helping you find meaningful connections moving forward.
My Match counselor was wonderful He explained to me how IJL works. Very informative. But the dates were not worth the money! My first date didn't want or need to be there... It Made me feel like crap.
I don't know how that could have been a match. My second match did not work out.
I feel like I could have found these men on Match.com and saved myself a lot of money. I'm still entitled to one more date?
Hi Laraine, we appreciate this feedback. Feedback from you on your dates is the most important part of the process to fine tune the matchmaking. We look forward to your future dates, it only takes one!: -)
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!
David, your thoughtful review truly brightens our day and validates the heart of what we do here at IJL. We’re so glad to have been a meaningful part of your experience and look forward to our continued partnership in dating.
Don't know what to describe as experience. I am not sure what to write here.
We hope you are enjoying working with your matchmaker and appreciate the review!
Good first date experience. We mat he'd well.on family values and live within a half hour of each other.this was the best of any of the previous experiences. With good feedback things get better. With the more infor.ation given the better they can refine your match. Good things take time and effort.
