Actual date and the planning regarding the date was convenient and easy. IJL did all the reservations and communication. I just had to show up. However, I am frustrated and disappointed at the slow speed of organizing the dates and matches. It took 2 1/2 months to get my first date. And communication with matchmaker feels limited and equally slow.
I had my first date through this service, and it was honestly a positive experience! The match was perfectly suited — we had things in common and connected right away. The platform's date spot suggestion was spot-on, creating a relaxed and comfortable vibe from the start.
What really impressed me, though, was the customer experience. Lisa, in particular, was incredibly responsive and attentive. She took the time to listen to my interests, and it was clear she put thought into selecting the ideal date. It made the whole experience feel personalized and seamless.
I'm definitely feeling confident about using this service again for future dates, and I'd highly recommend Lisa as a go-to matchmaker!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful first date experience! We're thrilled your matchmaker could provide such thoughtful support and help create a wonderful connection. It’s stories like yours that make what we do so worthwhile—can't wait to tell you about your next great date!
I joined IJL about 6 weeks ago. My matchmaker is Marina. I have enjoyed working with Marina so far. She has a good grasp on what I'm looking for in a match. She chose a good match for my first date. We had a lot in common and were a good personality match. She was also very helpful in easing my anxiety related to going on a first date. She also gave me good advice on how to frame my mindset around this matchmaking process. She is always available if I have questions. I feel like she is genuinely interested in getting to know me so that she can find the best possible match for me, my person.
Thank you, Kelsey, for sharing such thoughtful kind words about your experience with your matchmaker and IJL. Know that we're here to continue making this meaningful process as rewarding as possible.
Taking time to match me up with what I'm looking for in a partner.
We love to hear this, keep us posted on how your date go!
The experience with Its Just Lunch has been a very positive experience. I would recommend it to several single friends of mine.
We love to hear this, thank you for taking the time to share this and share your experience with others! We enjoy working with you and look forward to your next date.
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.
Thank you for your heartfelt review, Steven. We're delighted to know your matchmaker's care and focus on meaningful connections has made your experience positive, and we're excited to continue supporting your journey alongside you.
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!
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
Thank you for your feedback. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, as they are invaluable to helping our team grow and improve. We look forward to our continued partnership in dating.
