A place for you

By Cindy B., Raleigh, NC, Verified Reviewer

Will D, matchmaker extraordinaire at IJL, smoothly handles the details of where and when to meet your dates. He takes on the logistics so you don't have to.

IJL ensures that the choice to go on a date with a particular someone is mutual. This provides a certainty that introducing yourself on your own does not.

Will D sets up the dates with confidence and enthusiasm, and designates a place for you to meet up with someone who will just be there to meet up with you.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

I like having lunch dates on the calendar to anticipate

I enjoy a feeling of camaraderie with my matchmaker

It gives me the opportunity to meet new people

I prefer less distance from my dates

I'd like to update my initial interview preferences

First date, so far so good.

By Fernando V., Long Beach, CA, Verified Reviewer

Kenia has sent me out on one good date. I'm brand new at this but I have to say that IJL delivered as advertised on that first date. It was fun, well planned, excellent venue, my date insisted on paying for 1/2 and that impressed me. Just like the company said. I hope to see this excellent, classy lady again next week.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

My date was high quality and compatible.

Kenia had a good feel for what I was looking for.

So far so good.

The follow-up was lacking. I waited six days then finally reached out myself.

I'd like to have more of a selection sooner.

The 4 stars are specifically for Tamia

By Lauren C., New York City, NY, Verified Reviewer

IJL is a terrible service I wish I never purchased. That being said, Tamia is truly working to fix my experience. She is my 3rd matchmaker after the first disappeared. She is very responsive.

I give IJL 1 star.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

No “pros” were specified in this review

I have to put a lot of effort to get a 3rd date rescheduled

In 5 months I've only had 3 matches out of 12

Eva K lied, and I cannot get out of the contract after the 3rd date if the service is not working for me

Eugene

By AK K., Boston, MA, Verified Reviewer

My matchmaker, Eugene, has been excellent. He has been able to find women for me who have the qualities I seek. The dates I've been on have been pleasant experiences. The only complaint I have is that it is sometimes difficult to get in touch with my matchmaker for updates on him finding potential matches.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Looking for my last first date!

By Janice W., New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

My first date went well, we exchanged numbers. Jaiye was very good in selecting someone who seemed compatible. From what I’m understanding, there are different packages as far as the cost goes. I did not realize that and should have asked more questions. But Jaiye is a great wingman for me! He listens and understands what I’m looking for in a mate. I’m confident this process with be the end of an unwanted career of dating!

Working with a great matchmaker

By Scott E., Columbus, OH, Verified Reviewer

I had some rocky starts, but finally feel that my latest matchmaker (Tricia) has my back. She has been working closely with me and makes sure that she is working on what I want.

I will warn you that it took a couple of meh partnerships to get it right, so if you feel your assigned person is not right talk to management and let them know. Otherwise, you may not get the person you want.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Pros and Cons

Personal touch

Coaches who have your back

Poor matchmakers at beginning

Had to tell them the problem

Slow moving at beginning

Thank you for sharing your review and highlighting your evolving experience with IJL. It's great to hear that your latest matchmaker, Tricia, has been making a positive impact and has been closely aligned with your preferences. It's understandable that the matchmaking process can sometimes have its ups and downs, and I'm glad to hear that you've found someone who is attentive to your needs and preferences.

Your willingness to share your journey and provide guidance to others who might be navigating similar situations is appreciated. It demonstrates that, like any process, matchmaking can take some adjustment to find the right formula for success. We appreciate the time you took to share your open and honest feedback, as it is essential to a positive outcome.

IJL review

By Brian I., Las Vegas, NV, Verified Reviewer

This is my second time. My first person (Amy) was great and my current (Tricia) is great too. I marked 4 stars because I had one person in between that I was not satisfied with. Overall, I am very satisfied. Tricia is excellent at her job and has the excellent personality required for this type of service.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Pros and Cons

Quality candidates. All the ladies I have met have been very nice.

IJL does nice job setting up the dates with reminders at nice restaurants.

Overall happy, especially now that Tricia has been assigned to me.

IJL typically only sends head shots. This is a problem if body type is important. Which for me it is.

IJL will not consider geographic areas when matching. I have been matched with people that live to far out of my geographic range, very inconvenient when dating.

This is my 2nd time with IJL. I only had 4 dates the first time. IJL should given me my remaining dates without charging me again. This was disappointing me again

The reason I paused the first time is I met someone outside of IJL. Then it expired. I should have been given my remaining dates without have to pay again.

It's what you expect

By James L., Palm Bay, FL, Verified Reviewer

It's what you expect from a matchmaking service. They match on personality, looks, and interests. They provide an anxiety-free experience in a safe context for both people involved and help coordinate very busy schedules. Mind you, this is in the context of a single date, but it's a good start.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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