Even though I have only been out on one date, the whole experience has been quite pleasant. The matchmaker, Amy M, added a lot of value to the service with her professionalism and knowledge of the services offered. I do look forward to more dates in the future until I find the right person. I have expanded my geographical territory and hopefully this will bring in more of a selection.
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
My matchmaker, Amy M, is professional and understood my desires to start dating again, explained in detail what the services had to offer.
My husband passed away, she was compassionate and caring, she was engaged in listening to the type of partner I am looking for.
The Zoom meeting added a personal touch to the interview process, as opposed to filling out a questionnaire and sending in some photographs.
I love the fact that the other person was interviewed as well.
I appreciated that Amy M arranged the meeting place for lunch at Vitello's in Studio City, I liked the experience even though I was quite nervous.
Signed up for the service the beginning of the year, have only been on one date with a very nice person, but no interest on my part to continue seeing him.
My file was transferred to another matchmaker, Lauren, she did not call, and the only reason she finally called is because I reached out to her.
She had a very caviler approach, made me feel she was not really interested in my situation.
Since I have widened my geographical scope, I hope to see more dates in the future.

I signed up with this company almost two years ago. I wanted to try hard to find the great partner. At the beginning it took time to find the right person to work with. I do not lie that I was frustrated, then I started working with Vanessa. It has been a life experience. I have not found my match yet, but I learned from her to know better myself, to understand what I am really looking for. Even I am a great professional, it takes time to understand where to fit myself. Even though I am complicated, Vanessa can easily read through my words and expectations and teach me to never rush anything...I will understand when it will be my time. Meanwhile, she is giving me the opportunity to have wonderful dates with many interesting men. I do not lie that I am frustrated about timing, but she contacts me only when she is sure to not waste my time and giving me the wonderful experience of a nice date. Wish you can enjoy the fun part of dating, and the amazing experience to deal with Vanessa - Just for Lunch.

Since the pandemic hit, I haven’t been out as much as I once did. Consequently, I’ve missed many opportunities to meet new single women. And then I heard about It’s Just Lunch. Once I made contact, I was immediately impressed. I’ve tried other dating sites, but with It’s Just Lunch, I don’t have to browse through hundreds of profiles. And I have a matchmaker who has spent time getting to know me and what I’m looking for. My experience has been favorable and I recommend their services. Thank you, It’s Just Lunch!

I joined IJL a month ago and my matchmaker Erin has been an incredible person. She has set me up on 3 successful dates already! I have developed a good rapport and trust in my matchmaker and that is key for success. Erin is a superwoman matchmaker, please request to be her client should you join IJL.

Thanks Margaret! From the entire IJL team, thank you for being an IJL client. We love taking all of the hard work out of dating so you can have fun!

The first thing I liked about IJL is that everyone is vetted. Your date is at a nice upscale location convenient to where you live or work. They listen to your feedback and improve upon your dating goals after each date. My experience with Kevin as a Dating Coach has been the best one I've ever had. He is quick to respond and selects the matches according to my criteria. Keep up the good work Kevin!

I signed up with this service just a few weeks ago having been out of the dating game for many years. My first contact was with Heather, who explained the program and got me started thinking about my dating priorities. Subsequently, I was assigned to work with Sarah, who has gotten me off to a great start in dating attractive eligible men in my area. From my first date, my criteria has been met and the experience has been easy, fun, and pleasant.

When I first started IJL I didn't have just one matchmaker. It was a rocky start. I had Lisa G at one point and had difficulty understanding her and I just didn't connect with her. I then had other matchmakers call me.
Finally, I had consistency with Debra and she and I definitely connected! She is down to earth and has been positive about the dating experience. Her best quality is that she listens and gets to know her people! I always enjoy talking to her and she calls to follow up after every date. She has also been available at hours that are helpful to me. She has made my IJL experience well worthwhile!
