It's Just Lunch

I signed up for this service because I was so tired of feeling like I had a full time job online dating only to be disappointed when I did meet someone. It was exhausting and discouraging. My experience with It's Just Lunch has been the opposite! IJL does all the work for you, finding a match and setting up the date! I have been on 2 great dates and met 2 genuinely nice men. It has been such a breath of fresh air to be able to show up to a date and be pleasantly surprised with the company and conversation. I would recommend this service to anyone who wants to stop the apps and enjoy real connection.

I have been with IJL now for a year and have gone on roughly 5 dates. I have met some decent people, no one has stuck yet. The matches have been far and few in between and a little slower than I imagined; but I'm being patient they will find the BEST choices possible for me. This method of dating has forced me to look and think outside my usual box and although I haven't been physically attracted to them, the matches have been for the most part in line with what are the most important characteristics and attributes and for me.
Since being assigned to Tanya as my matchmaker, communication has greatly improved. I feel she listens to my concerns. My hope is Tanya is truly vested in finding suitable and true matches for me. I look forward to meeting more matches.

I was sent a link to fill this out and...heh...

Dating in the 21st century sucks. It hasn't been easy for me. So I touched base with IJL. Instead of feeling good about them, I was met with horrible sales tactics. Upon showing a lack of interest in subscribing due to price, sales staff, on two different occasions, were EXTREMELY pushy, resorting to insults and personal attacks to try to get you to subscribe ("Do you REALLY want to tell people you met on TINDER?"/"Well, nothing else you're doing is working, is it?"), refusing to accept "No" for an answer until you hang up on them. I felt like I was car shopping.

I'm on a reserve list for dates where nothing is guaranteed but, if you're needed, you get calls, and I've had an alright experience with that, enough to pull this rating from a 1 to 2. I think I've had 4-5 dates since 2020 and Matchmakers, including Tricia, are helpful and good to work with.

IJL are friendly, give good advice, and you're not going to waste time with crypto scammers (who knew that would be a problem with internet dating?). You will only be matched with other members who have signed up and paid the (pretty hefty) fee. So if there aren't many members in your region, it becomes a waiting game. The reason for the mediocre score is if you don't find the service to be working for you, they don't let you cancel. This is somewhat frustrating.

All the negatives listed in other adds on this site line up with my experience. Embarrassing to have been scammed like I was. I was promised 12 dates in 12 months for $2800. I had 3 dates after constantly prodding them. There is no refund no matter how they fail to deliver what they promised... read the fine print. Rudeness is the order of the day with a constantly rotating set of matchmakers. Given the turnover it must be hell to work for IJL. Just say NO!

Total trash! Do not waste your time and money on this archaic, unethical system called It's Just Lunch. The promises they make up front are total BS and the clientele list they claim to have, they do not. They rotate the same people around, in an effort to convince you of what they claim. Most of the dates I went on were WAY below the standards I asked for. And, a couple of them shared they aren't even clients of IJL, so it sounds like they are paying men to go on dates. Again, don't waste your time.

I never write reviews on anything but this company really pisses me off, Worst thing i ever signed up for. I signed up last summer, said age group i was interested in, someone fit and good looking was big to me, Iv been sent guys way older then what i said i wanted, old / bald / fat / outta shape, u name it, and as i been saying no shot to those awful dates i didn't know when i signed up those count, i payed 5k and have yet to go on one single date through this company. The couple i said yes too i was told there unavailable once they were sent to me and i said yes. I don't even know if those count on your pics. Such a scam this site is, save your money trust me.
After a few months i seen asap it was a scam asked for a refund, o then and hadn't yet been on a date, i was told I'm past the refund time frame. So what's been done with my 5k?
