Perla review IJL

Although my experience of working with Perla had been brief (one match so far), I felt my experience was positive. My match did not work out as well as I may have wanted, but I believe we are working in the right direction.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Pros and Cons

Sets up the first match

Not an online service

You can talk directly with a matchmaker

Not in this area

Wish price was less

Amber

By Rich Z., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I’ve had 17 matches from Marc and 5 from Amber, 22 in total. All have been 1 and done. I am mostly comfortable with the "blind" arrangement process, and have appreciated the efforts of both Marc and Amber, given my contact limitations. I was not pleased with 2 dates due to ethnicity. I would say I was attracted to 4–5 ladies. I would say most of the rest were not good matches. I have liked all the restaurants I have been sent to, but the location is not always optimal, I don't like going south of the middle of the city because I live in the north. I have had no feedback from either agent, hoping to arrange a phone call with Amber soon.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Pros and Cons

Price

The opportunity for dates

Efforts to coordinate dates within my schedule

Dates with ladies who are not in my ethnic preference

Locations further than 15–20 miles away

Matchmaker vs swiping

By Birdy R. , Pennsylvania

Dating today can be challenging, especially for mature daters. I selected IJL because I wanted a more selective experience over swiping. Working with Tanya has been a pleasure. She is getting to know me and with each date, through feedback and conversation, she is fine-tuning my dating experience. I appreciate that and know we are on the right track!

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Working with IJL has been fantastic.

By James B., Columbus, OH, Verified Reviewer

Working with IJL has been fantastic. My matchmaker, Amy J, has been great to work with. She listens to me, and finds excellent matches. One of the good parts of my IJL experience is that it makes you feel like it is a collaborative partnership. If online dating is tiring and overwhelming I seriously would consider IJL.
