It's Just Lunch

When I was interested in signing up I was told my city was one of the largest dating pools (I live in Toronto Canada). I have few and far between matches we are talking 4 marches in 9 months. I'm a good looking 37 year old with a great personality and open minded about my matches. I just have restrictions around age (15 year range), that they want children, would not expect me to convert, and live within a reasonable distance (ie. Not a 1.5 hr commute away). Otherwise I am open minded about matches for me and yet they still fail to deliver. On top of that several times I have been "matched" only to find out after they are no longer available. For the $4000 I paid for this service it is a waste and they can't even match me with the very basics I listed above they once matched me with someone who didn't know if they wanted a family and they lived a 1.5 hr commute away. You're better to spend this money joining private clubs and going to curated L

Save your money this organization is a joke… they make promises… take your money then toss random "dates" your way… there is no matchmaking going on here… and if you're unhappy too bad for u… any question or concern i had was simply ignored… and good luck getting anywhere with an 800# and a few e-mail addresses… fraudulent bordering on criminal business practices and yes they have been sued…
I'd rather pay my neighbor kid i bet he'd do a better job… and he's only 8

I paid full price plus they suggested that I get a consultant with add the fee of course and I will get consultations at least three times. As soon as I paid. One-time consultant only. The sad part is they give the last match was an 80-year-old can who barely walk. It's not only I lost thousands of dollars to pay the fee I basically got insulted too. I will recommend to men and women to keep their money and go to regular dating sites with low fees and have more chances to meet regular guys/women. In Just Lunch just another matches site that is no different from other online dating except for the expensive fees they claimed with professional dating couches but instead, they have a bunch of people with no skills to just match you with anyone. It's a joke! Keep your money and don't waste your time!

If I could give a zero rating I would. Please don't learn a hard lesson like I did. AVOID this scam.
They tell you about all the quality men they can fix you up with and act like they are going to match you to someone with your criteria.
I went on 3 Zoom dates and one in person date that I would not fix my worst enemy up with. Unattractive, poor quality men. All of them. If I had seen their pictures ahead of time, it would have been a quick elimination. Meeting them, REALLY sealed the deal. Just awful.
No refunds for poor service. Just talking points they had rehearsed and lip service. 2300. 00 down the drain. BEWARE.

Have met a number of nice ladies. Debra has worked hard to make good matches for me. Her job is not easy, especially for my age group of seniors. By this stage of our lives, our patterns, circle of friends and associates is typically well established. This reality makes matching more difficult. Debra has been very accommodating and spent the time needed to get to know me as a person so that she could make better choices for my introductions.

I signed up almost 5 months ago and I was promised 6 dates that matched my criteria. I went on 2 dates because the "dating coach" begged me to be open minded even though neither person met my criteria. The sales people will strong arm you into paying a HUGE fee to join and then totally drop you. I have called, emailed (several people in the company) and cannot even get a response from anyone. Unfortunately, they have my money and have disappeared. One of the dates I went on was not even a member. He told me that someone called him randomly and was sent my photo to go on a date. The lack of professionalism, lack of integrity as well as customer service it appalling! Plus, they are down right liars. BEWARE! I highly recommend to stay away from these thieves! They currently have settled a huge class action lawsuit and I am getting in touch with an attorney to sue them as well!

I was promised 12 dates in 12 months for $2800. I had 5 dates after constantly prodding them, continously emailing them about my next date. Getting new dating specialists 6 different ones. The few dates that were setup where 1.5 hours away from me. Continously telling them I don't live in Seattle but in Tacoma... I just emailed them again no answer. There is no person to call to complain to either. FRUSTRATED BEYOND BELIEF!
There is no refund no matter how they fail to deliver what they promised... read the fine print.

In the beginning with its just lunch, I had several matchmakers who really did not match me up with the right people and I even have one that matched me or somebody three hours away. I was very disappointed I thought I wasted my money.

However my current matchmaker Debra S. Is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She really listens to what I'm looking for end of the dates that she sent me up with what I liked and didn't like. She definitely showed more enthusiasm and was overall very thorough and trying to find the right match for me.
Although I'm currently not renewing my membership due to family reasons, I told Debra, That when I am ready possibly later next year I certainly hope she is still around and then we can work together again.
So is my experience in the beginning was not very good and I was disappointed I definitely turned around mainly because of the matchmaker Debra!

Please do not give IJL your money. In three months I went through 3 matchmakers, no dates, phone calls and emails ignored and match suggestions outside my parameters. I am out $3,400 and the company showed no effort to help me after several conversations with management. Please don't waste your money. They prey on people wanting to find love.
