Amy is very attentive and responsive. She listens well and is very proactive. I enjoyed all of the dates she facilitated.
Marina has been a pleasure to deal with. She's diligent in arranging for my dates and is always quick to call back and discuss after my dates, listening to my feedback and advise where I need.
We appreciate the great feedback about your matchmaker and will be sure to share with our team. We look forward to your next fun first date!
Things are moving nicely. I have been thru the beginning process and on my first date. My advisor is very pleasant and helpful. The first date went well my date was a very nice man and we had a great conversation. I look forward to meeting more suitable gentlemen and having fun.
Hi Jan! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are elated to hear you are enjoying the process thus far and are currently hard at work on your next date. We look forward to more fun first dates!
When I was interested in signing up I was told my city was one of the largest dating pools (I live in Toronto Canada). I have few and far between matches we are talking 4 marches in 9 months. I'm a good looking 37 year old with a great personality and open minded about my matches. I just have restrictions around age (15 year range), that they want children, would not expect me to convert, and live within a reasonable distance (ie. Not a 1.5 hr commute away). Otherwise I am open minded about matches for me and yet they still fail to deliver. On top of that several times I have been "matched" only to find out after they are no longer available. For the $4000 I paid for this service it is a waste and they can't even match me with the very basics I listed above they once matched me with someone who didn't know if they wanted a family and they lived a 1.5 hr commute away. You're better to spend this money joining private clubs and going to curated L
The service is very pleasant so far. I am very pleased with the service. From the introduction to setting up the dates. Everything was professionally handled, especially for a busy professional like myself.
Thank you for your kind words regarding the process thus far. We look forward to more fun first dates!
He was nice but the vibe was a little off. I didn't like the way he dressed. He a little too old fashioned for me. And didn't talk about his personal life.
Thank you for the feedback on your date, we will be sure to share this with the Matchmaking team. Thank you!
Great service, they set up the date for you, you just show up, great experience so far
Thanks Peter! We like to take the stress out of dating so all you have to do is show up and have fun! Happy Dating!
Anita took the time to understand my unique preferences, values, and aspirations, creating a personalized approach that felt authentic to who I am. Her cultural sensitivity and understanding of the nuances within the Black community made me feel seen and heard throughout the entire process. What sets Anita apart is her dedication to promoting inclusivity and ensuring that every client, regardless of background, finds a match that goes beyond surface-level compatibility. She goes the extra mile to foster an environment where diversity is celebrated, and individuality is cherished.
We appreciate the time you took to share your experience with IJL and your matchmaker. Your feedback is truly valued and we can't wait to share it with our team. Happy Dating!
My initial experience was not good. My first matchmaker was not responsive and did not have a good handle on the type of man I was looking for. I suspended my contract for a period of time and then decided to try again. My experience with my present matchmaker, Jaiye, has been very good. He is responsive to my calls and texts and knows the type of man I am looking for and it shows in his selection of dates.
We are happy to hear you are enjoying your experience and look forward to more positive feedback and successful dates!
Thoroughly enjoyed dates with Mary and Diane,
Both were personable engaging and both dates were attractive well grommed and well dressed.
Both had advanced degrees and are very intelligent which made for excellent wide ranging conversations Diane and I had many shared interests and I think this relationship will go further
Went to a Christmas party with Mary the next day. Shes out of town for a while but will probably see her again. Diane and I exchanged contact info and I have already called her about our next date.
We are so happy to hear you hit it off with Mary and Diane! We love this! Keep us posted on how things progress. Happy dating!
So far so good! My first date was a great experience considering this is my first time using a Matchmaking service. Anita is very personable and really listens to your likes and dislikes to select the best match. I'm really glad you have the option to provide feedback after your date and discuss how you can better refine your next match. I would recommend IJL to my friends and family, looking to date without having to swipe all day for matches. Wish me luck on date #2!
We're thrilled to hear that your first date was a great experience! We appreciate your kind words about your matchmaker and are delighted that you find her to be personable and attentive to your preferences. The feedback process is indeed a crucial part of our service, and we're glad to know that it has been valuable for refining your matches.

I was impressed with the first customer service person I spoke with when I contacted IJL. He responded very quickly, was warm and personal, encouraging, and professional. He immediately connected me to my matchmaker, Tricia, who has also been wonderful. From her first call she has been warm, kind, encouraging, and professional. I feel that she is truly invested in helping me find my life partner. I've tried tried two other dating services and IJL far exceeds them both.
Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with It's Just Lunch! We are thrilled to hear that your journey began on a positive note with your matchmaker. Thank you for choosing It's Just Lunch, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with excellent service on your dating journey.
Thanks to Carissa, I just had a great date! She was so very patient as I described my ideal person and she found him! He actually called me the very next day and we have plans for a second.
I trust Carissa and am looking forward to more dates because I know she knows exactly who I'm looking for.
We love to hear that you had a fantastic time on your date! Your feedback is the most essential in the process and we look forward to hearing more great things!
Tricia has been very helpful and so far I've been happy with the process overall. I've gone on 5 dates in about 2.5 months with IJL, and they make the experience pretty easy and fun.
Appreciate the great feedback and thank you for choosing IJL!
Working with Genie has been a breeze…she really listens to what I say and cares. I am very happy and lucky to have Genie to assist in my search of finding my partner. So far it has been a great adventure and I look forward to what is to come. Thank you IJL!
We love to hear this! Our goal is to take the stress out of dating so you can enjoy the process! Happy dating Chris!
Tricia bent over backward to make a date happen, when all the factors kind of fell through. I appreciate her so much. Especially for the fact that the date she made happen is such a great connection!
Thank you for sharing this great feedback about our team going above and beyond. We look forward to your next date!
I had a horrible experience when I had pictures sent of the people they wanted to fixing up with. Apparently, if I didn't want to meet them that was considered a date I met two people actually three one didn't show up and I was told that I had 14 dates and my membership expired.M
I had one girl literally badging me to meet somebody that I had to stably said I did not want to meet anybody they have not been married before at this point in my life and this girl argued with me and argued with me to meet him and I was adamant about not meeting someone that had not been married before at this point in my life
Seriously don't waste your money. I never got all the dates I was promised they couldn't even fix me up with peoples. They promised me 12 dates in a year and I think the first year they maybe I'm met two people and I never was able to meet anybody again and when I finally did meet somebody last year, the person never showed up.
So don't waste your money
Jaiye is an amazing life coach with exceptional attention to detail and communication skills. I am lucky enough to be able to work with him!
Thanks Danielle!
It was nice first date the guest was very pleasant. Went on a second date
We love to hear this! Keep the positive feedback coming!:-)
Anita hit on my core values that I was looking for in a companion! The only thing missing was location. Regardless, she was spot on in suggessting Scott for me. He would be a 2nd date (or more!) match if he didn't live so far away. But no doubt, he and I will remain longtime friends! Thank you Anita!
We are happy to hear you had a great connection that will lead to a longtime friend. Looking forward to your next date.
Answer: It's Just Lunch is a scam... don't do it! It's just them charging your credit card! They work hard on getting your credit card number - once you pay customer service is OVER! There's no team of people looking for you & you can't access anyone -with out them initiating a contact. In 14 months only one 'lunch'. However, because the experience was so horrible, not even It's Just Lunch counts it as 'lunch'. I've been asking for my money to be refunded. Whatever you do, be proactive for yourself & just say "no.".
Answer: Unfortunately, now I cannot share a success story, because there was absolutely nothing that was successful about this company


Thanks so much Steve, appreciate the time you took to provide feedback regarding your Matchmaker. We appreciate you as an IJL Client!
