Had nice lunch but, the age difference could be better. The gentleman was 12 years or older than myself

I think this company is one of the most unorganized I have ever worked with. They oversold themselves on the phone during the initial call. They said they would recruit people specifically for me, but this did not happen. Their website says they offer a concierge service, but it is not concierge. My primary matchmaker didn't take the time to get to know me or learn what I like. They don't reply promptly to emails, but they expect you to reply, or they put your membership on hold. Overall, their communication is poor. They presented me with duplicate matches on multiple occasions (presented the same person more than once as a match), which they would not do without a system for tracking what they were doing. I was told they only use the initial intake call to get to know you and find you matches. Situations change and evolve, and basing matches off the initial intake call (with another person) is not sufficient, in my opinion. This service is a giant waste of money. Every woman I went out with also said the experience was not positive. The company had not even done an excellent job of fulfilling our initial agreement and then tried to upsell me to an even more expensive engagement for $10k extra. When my program ended, they didn't send me an email or communication to let me know we were done and to thank me for the business. I reached out to my matchmaker and was told the program ended. Do yourself a favor and run to the hills before paying this company any of your hard-earned money to find you a match. You can do much better on your own if you learn to vet people on the apps instead of letting this company send you matches that are not a fit and ultimately waste your time, energy, and money.

The quality of the matches varied. I provide meaningful feedback after every date to help refine the search efforts. However, sometimes I wonder if team members talk with each other when considering other matches. For example, there were a few matches which clearly didn't match the critical criteria parameters yet I would be matched anyway. I dealt with a number of different Matchmakers and I felt that hurt the overall refinement process with consistency.

Be aware that when you drop the thousands of dollars for this scam you will not be able to get a refund for any reason. First match they gave me was nothing like what I was looking for. After a few more matches I went on a date, and was stood up at the restaurant. Bartender was cool about it and gave me a free drink out of it at least. Second date attempt he confirmed day of, then canceled an hour before meeting. This is the quality of individuals you'll get to deal with. Ever since then the matches have been like bland soup, if not worse. I no longer look forward to IJL's calls or emails, more like dread how bad their next hand-picked selection is going to be. My account is on pause after 9 months of wasted time and money and have zero desire to even complete the term.

My matchmaker is really listening to me and helping me get comfortable with dating again after 30 years. She is helping me learn about myself and helping me focus on having fun.

Jinger was intelligent, attractive and very stylish and we had a lot of the same interests and outlook on life. We are getting together this Monday for dinner and Goga, one of my favorite entertainers.

Current matchmaker appears to listen to me and honor my preferences. Previous matchmaker sent me on dates that were a waste of time. I started listening to my gut and saying no to matches that aren’t what I am looking for. I found that every profile that they sent over had very out of date pictures of the proposed match. I really don’t have time for dating sites and thought this would be an efficient way to meet new people. But IJL seems to have rather limited active client list that matches up with my criteria and they tend to dig up inactive clients. Hence the dated profile pics.

I just recently signed up for It’s Just Lunch and went on my first lunch date. I had a great time. We had quite a few things in common. We did exchange numbers and I look forward to talking to him soon! I was very impressed with with my initial interview and the person they chose to have me meet!
