Nice, single down-to-earth Italian-American boy

By Marc S., Mount Vernon, NY, Verified Reviewer

I've worked on and off with IJL over a few years and it's been positive overall. Some excellent dates and most are at least pleasant experiences; even if some people seem more compatible with me than others, that happens in dating life anyway no matter what methods we explore. I have met all kinds of women of many intriguing backgrounds and types. A very good service on the whole that I think can be made even better in a few specific ways. Sheri is always responsive, cheerful, and attentive. I experienced an excellent, life-affirming relationship rich in good times and happy memories thanks to IJL and I am aspiring for that lightning to strike again!

Length of Use: 2+ years

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Met some wonderful ladies I would not have met otherwise.

Thanks to IJL I had a meaningful, memorable relationship with a magnificent lady.

I have many "types" and I've been matched with quite a variety.

Sometimes matches are in fact a little different to what my feedback indicates I am seeking.

Would like more "declines" for matches that we aren't interested in.

Wish they'd bring back the full profiles and also give us a general idea on what type of feedback we are getting.

It’s Just Lunch

By Patti B., St. Louis, MO, Verified Reviewer

It has been wonderful to work with Obed at It's Just Lunch! He works hard from setting up matches to calling afterwards. Obed listens attentively to get to know me and help me find that perfect match. My date last week was amazing, and I am looking forward to more dates with this match!

An honest dating service, delivers what it promises.

By Joseph C K., Roland, IA, Verified Reviewer

My name is Joseph C. Keller. I'm a retired MD in Iowa. I've found IJL to be completely honest. All the women I've been matched with for dates have been "winners" - sincere, motivated, eligible women, and every date has been fun. I would be married by now, except that my situation is a little unusual and not for everyone. So I'm still waiting for a really good fit to my situation. But IJL has been unfailingly courteous and has always done the right thing. The Covid-19 problem slowed the dating down but now it is picking up again.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

The women I've been matched with have been good people with the right motives.

The case managers are on the job and do not drop the ball.

Everything about the fees has been fair and square.

I think they overreacted to Covid-19, their treatment of the fees was fair (no charge for hold time) but it did slow things down.

Nice dates

By Charlie W., Long Island, NY, Verified Reviewer

Meeting the right person is difficult and when companies say they can match you up, that is a daunting task.

My matchmaker took the time to learn about me, my likes and dislikes, and introduced me to her recommendations accordingly. Each of the women were quality women. Bright, intelligent, and attractive. The dates were fun and there were no times I wondered why my matchmaker had put the two of us together.

Working with It's Just Lunch was easy and I look forward to doing it again.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

My matchmaker worked to put in front of the right people

The women were all successful, no dreck

The women was all nice looking

Some women lived far away

No way to get in touch with the service when you are being stood up or a miscommunication

Cost

I have very high standards (where have you heard that?)

By Jeff D., St. Louis, MO, Verified Reviewer

Obed and I have only had one date set up. I actually found her attractive (did not quite knock me over) but I believe now my best chances are with IJL. Yes, I want someone who I do not deserve and above my expectations that would thrill me. Why would IJL really care, because I belong to a CC with many single men 55 and over who are dying to hear that you all deliver. I will keep you posted but Obed seems to be a solid wingman.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Too early to tell but hopefully quality girls

Obed listens and wants me to succeed

I realize it is a numbers game but praying sooner than later

It's Just Lunch with Amy as my agent

By Jing L., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I would definitely recommend IJL.

By Stephanie D., Cincinnati, OH, Verified Reviewer

Hope

By Marcia I., New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

My experience so far has not been that great but the important thing that I find is that they are working really hard to find the members, meaning YOU, the opportunity to find the right person. It is not an easy task, I am sure.

I had a few dates, a very nice gentleman but unfortunately, I had not yet found the right chemistry.

I have another one soon and I hope this one works out. He seems like a very nice gentleman.

My representative now is Hazel. She is very very nice and is trying very hard to find me the right match.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Their persistence

Caring

Changes in representatives

Difficulty reaching them
