I've only had the first two dates of 12 with IJL, and this process has been so useful to me already! I've learned a lot about what I'm looking for, about what's important to me. I've learned about how I want to interact with dates. These learnings require practice and exploration, on dates with the right kinds of people. That's where IJL comes in.
Length of Use: Less than 3 months
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
I got in-person dates with people who more closely match what I'm looking for than I had with dating apps.
A person chooses my matches, based on what I express is important to me.
I've gotten real-time learning experiences.
It's expensive (but it has been worth it for me).

I love working with Tanya. We are on the same page. She gets me and has my back at each dating opportunity.
She is a great listener and knows what I want. Plus, she works hard to make sure she finds the best gentleman for me. I have not been in It's Just Lunch long, but have already had two other matchmakers. There's a saying about the third time is the charm — well, Tanya has been the charm for me. I look forward to continuing to work with her.
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Tanya
Restaurant choice
Overall good dates
How to say no about a few dates
Wish the restaurant was a bit closer to my home, but I don’t live in a big city so it’s harder for the company to find places for me to meet
Wish the gentleman would submit more than one or two pictures on their profile

Anita has been helpful with the entire process from helping me with picking out the right photos to improving my profile.
In addition, she listened to my needs and worked with me to find the right person and to help with the location of the first meeting to make sure that the location was truly a good mutual meeting place. So far, the picks have been spot on.

Genie took the time to truly understand what I am looking for in a life partner and matched me up with someone who was a very good fit. We decided not to move forward for other reasons but I definitely am so grateful I went through this process and had Genie as my matchmaker. Any fears or concerns I had about this process are now gone, and I'm actually super excited about my next date! YAY!

IJL does the hard work for you! They find you a match and set up the when/where you meet. The rest is up to you! It's basically a blind date, except you've seen a picture and know a little about each other. If you want to see them again, you exchange contact info. If not, you part ways. It feels so much safer this way! IJL verifies everyone so you know you aren't getting cat-phished. My matchmaker, Anita W really takes the time to speak with her clients to learn as much about them so as to better match them. I've enjoyed the dates she's set up for me.

Pros and Cons
You know you're meeting an actual person
They don't share last names or any contact info with your match
You have the option of passing on a match
Waiting multiple months between getting a match/date
Rarely having the same matchmaker for very long
Not having an IJL rep/office to contact on weekends if necessary

After a few cancellations, I finally had a good date in New York City at a fine restaurant. My date was chatty and we hit it off well (I think), we both had things in common and could connect on quite a few levels. She was on time as I was as well, and I think we both had a good early dinner. I think IJL made a good choice with this date!
Length of Use: 3–6 months

Jaiye is my Executive Matchmaker and he is great! I’ve just begun working with him, but I can tell he’ll be attentive to my dating preferences. His communication process is much better than the efforts I had to take while on Match.com. The one date I’ve been on so far was really nice and the next date I’m going on tomorrow also looks good. Jaiye is willing to tailor my dating profile so that the dates he or his colleagues find are best suited to me. I’m looking forward to working with Jaiye.
