My experience

By Bridget H. , St. Louis, MO

Best dating coach ever!

By Sharon R., Indianapolis, IN, Verified Reviewer

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!

Off to a great start

By Amy S., Portland, OR, Verified Reviewer

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.

Overall I've been impressed with IJL and most satisfied with my matchmaker!

By Dianne M., Rockville, VA, Verified Reviewer

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!

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

I love that the matchmaker coordinates the whole experience

The restaurants have been great

I like having one consistent matchmaker

At first I didn't care for my matchmaker

Really fun, fast, and safe dating service

By Kelly S., Sacramento, CA, Verified Reviewer

I worked with Sarah V from IJL once I entered their database. I'm not currently a paying member, but I have gone on several dates with their service. I genuinely really like the service. I've always felt safe, taken care of, and I've had the dates planned and vetted before I've ever even met them.

All you really have to do is go through an interview process and background check (which makes me feel better about how they vet the men too vs. traditional dating app dating). Some of the men were duds, but Sarah is EXCELLENT at protecting me and protecting my privacy from the men I didn't like from the service.

I like that there's always a date, restaurant, time, and reservations booked prior. A lot of the back and forth/coordinating is pretty much taken care of on their end so all you really have to do is show up and have a good attitude.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

Easy dates

Love how organized it is

Safety and privacy are top-notch and high priority

Some of the men aren't my favorite to date

Since you don't have contact info ahead of time, dates can run late or have things happen and you won't "know"

So far so good. Five stars.

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

I have had three dates since I signed up. All three wanted to see me again, so that is a testimony to Amy. Clearly, she chose women she thought would like me and would want to see me again, and so far her success rate is 100%.

My first two dates were lunches, each one was for around 2 hours. I enjoyed meeting these two ladies. These dates were helpful in giving me a better sense of the kind of romantic companion I am hoping to find.

The third date was a dinner. I surprised myself with my reaction to when she looked at her cellphone, said I have to take this, it's my son, and she texted her son. My reaction was, this is a massive turn-off for me, no. This reaction by me surprised me.

The quality of the three dates I have had is high. All three have a good attitude, are nice, and seem gentle, which is a key thing I am looking for in a potential romantic companion.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Amy - I am super pleased that she is my matchmaker

The communication with It's Just Lunch is excellent

All I need to do is to show up to the restaurant at the agreed upon time - that's so great

None for me to date

So far I am very happy

By Steve W., St. Louis, MO, Verified Reviewer

So far I am very happy. Responsive, proactive, and empathetic. Joel is very good. You need to remember with a service like this or any other, they cannot perform miracles. They just need to provide matches; you do the rest.

The hardest part of the online apps is actually getting a meet for coffee, lunch, dinner, etc done. These guys do this. They also make the meeting appointment for both of you and do not share any personal information with the other person.

On the online apps, you do not know if they are really who the person says they are. It's Just Lunch verifies with a driver's license that they are who they say they are. Women and men can feel safer because of this.

I am happy, you should give it a try.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

By Mark E. , Shenandoah, IA

I've been associated with IJL since mid-December. I was assigned Joel as my date coordinator and I've already had 2 successful dates. I find Joel to be extremely helpful, dedicated, passionate, and professional. I would highly recommend IJL and Joel to anyone who is serious about finding a companion.
