I’ve had a great experience so far with IJL and I love that Anita is my matchmaker! She is very knowledgeable and personable. I am glad that I have her as my matchmaker. She is diligent in getting good matches for me, and follows up after the date. She is quick to answer my questions and always returns calls!

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.

Coaches who have your back

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).

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.

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.

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!
