“IJL is a great site”

James B.
3/29/21

I realize there have been a lot of negative reviews. I had 180 degree different experience the other reviews on this site. My matchmaker Amy J has been fantastic. The one thing you have to do a client is communicate what you in a match and work hand and hand with your matchmaker for success. I would seriously consider giving IJL a chance.

“Over 60 and Getting Out There.”

Jaiye has been an affable, helpful person on this journey. I have enjoyed meeting new people and a feeling of safety. It's not easy making a love connection, but I look forward to my next date and the possibilities that it may hold.

Tailored, personal, professional, it's definitely an elegant matchmaking process. It's far away from the Apps experience which could be misleading and dangerous

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PLACE. ALL THE THINGS THEY PROMISE ARE ALL LIES. I READ OTHER REVIEWS BEFORE I SIGNED UP BUT DIDN'T BELIEVE THEM, BOY WAS I WRONG.

I AM NOW 4 MONTHS INTO THIS MEMBERSHIP AND THEY ONLY GOT ME ONE DATE WHO TURNED OUT TO BE A COMPLETE FAKE, PRETTY SURE SHE WORKS FOR THE COMPANY AS A FAKE DATE JUST SO THEY CAN SAY THEY GOT YOU A DATE.

AT THIS RATE I WILL HAVE OVER 12 DATES OR MORE ON MY FINAL MONTH.

HERE IS WHAT IS LIKELY HAPPENING, THEY DON'T HAVE INVENTORY OF WOMEN THEY CAN MATCH ME UP TO AND THEY WON'T ADMIT IT. THEY ALSO WON'T REFUND YOU BECAUSE THEIR CONTRACT IS SO AMBIGUOUS.

THEY ALSO DON'T RESPOND TO THEIR MESSAGES OR EMAILS FOR OVER A WEEK. THERE ARE BETTER DATING SERVICES, USE THOSE. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE.

Tip for consumers:

We are sorry to hear you have not enjoyed your experience thus far as this is not the norm with IJL. Your Matchmaker has contacted you to discuss these concerns and is hard at work on your next date focusing on the items you discussed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Since having Shirley assigned to me as my matchmaker at IJL I couldn't be happier. She is extremely professional, warm, kind, an excellent listener, and skilled in her craft!
She builds genuine rkatulbships with her clients. I haven't met my
"Mr. Right"
As of yet, but sincerely kniw I'm in the
"Right" hamds, as she has my best interest at heart.
I would highly recommend this site, and of course
Superb Shirley.

Buyer beware. I was contacted a sale person who was aggressive and should have set off red flags to me. The price was $3,000 which I did not like, and I said I would have to research It's Just Lunch. The sales person did not like this and became more aggressive. I said I would only buy if there were criteria of my matches met and the sales lady agreed. There is then a waiting period of one month before they will do anything which should have been another red flag. Once they have your money, they want to put you on hold for one month to make sure you cannot get your money back. The match for me did not match the verbal agreement and I knew right away It's Just Lunch Only wanted my money and did nothing more than other dating web sites that do computer matching. Paying $60 for a traditional web site, you will do better than paying $3,000. I immediately put up a dispute. I am part of class action lawsuit against It's Just Lunch for this is a company that does not care about the service they provide, they only want your money. Do not waste your time and especially your money.

Folks, please do yourself a favor stay away it's a waste of money. It's been almost a year, and a $3400 upfront payment and All I can show for it is a one lousy,horrendous date. Folks they will destroy your self-esteem and make you second-guess yourself, as soon as you pay,they'd stop replying to your email answering your phone calls. All you get is the answering machine.I understand by now I would never see my money back, but the least I can do is educate other fools like me who are thinking to sign up. It's my civic duty as a decent citizen please don't do it. Oh by the way, the contract states that you get 12 dates within three years, so you got someone in charge so called the matchmaker,picking dates for you ( 99% of the time are horrendous dates that you would never consider going out with)and when you declined them they count against your quota, regardless. Let me put it this way,you pay them $3400 upfront,and than they could pick any12 dates for you,and if you end up declining all of them, then you are paying $3400 and not going out on a single date.that's what they would never tell you on the initial interview

Total scam

Where do I start? The whole thing is a scam. They're really nice, responsive and curious before you pay. As soon as you do, you go to the back of the line. Let me go into some details. I am 6,2 very fit,I don't like to toot my own horn, but for the sake of the argument, You can call me good looking,lol.i work hard and I don't have time to go out anymore, I do not like the idea of having an online profile. So I gave this guys a shot. And what a mistake.they basically make you feel crappy about yourself and undatable, between bad dates, not responding to your emails. Your calls,canceling dates last minutes. Hook, line and sinker It's a real understatement.I'm not even that demanding or asking for for a 10 or a trophy blonde, I was very realistic and compromising. All asked for,is a decent human being and physically compatible. And what do you know,every match was a complete disaster., I don't want to be insensitive,please use your imagination… they basically match you with anyone just to make their quota, I and up denying a lot of them which by the way counts against you.(you get 12 dates every time you deny a match for any reason it counts against you. You need to understand this before you sign up). That's the scam they don't tell you please don't do the same mistake. Stay away.contacted my credit company for a dispute,IJL Doesn't do refunds. You have to fight go through your credit company and request a dispute. They can't do this to people. Thank you good luck.

I signed up with IJL on April 2020 and I've only experienced DISAPPOINTMENT, LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND ENGAGEMENT BY MATCHMAKERS and WRONG MATCHES. This service has been a COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME and MONEY.

This experience has been nothing but a continuing cycle of frustration and disappointment. IJL keeps saying they can service you. However, you cannot service a client if they do NOT call back or listen to your criteria. I have given multiple opportunities for IJL to provide better service. But it is apparent that they don't care and there is no accountability at IJL. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY.

Do not give these people your money. They are a fraudulent company. Lies- all lies. They took six months to find me a match. You can never get a hold of anyone. No one returns your phone calls or emails. They fail to keep appointments and will not follow up with you. They set me up with matches that did not show up and matches that were not within my criteria per my profile. I got no support from any of my matchmakers. Also I was bounced around from matchmaker to matchmaker without being given any notice of what was going on. Beware of Kayla, Mike, Lisa "Elizabeth" and Taylor. They refuse to keep appointments, I had a telephone appointment with Mike who refused to call me and when I called him he said he had people over fixing his air conditioning at 6am. I called Kayla once and she got off the phone very quickly with me and said she was having trouble with her computer and would call me right back which she never did. As soon as they get your money, you won't hear from them for months.

It is GREAT GREAT GREAT to work with Tricia. It may seem small, but she actually LISTENS and takes my thoughts seriously. I've had 3 dates and we've discussed each one. One of these went extremely well and Tricia has used this information to refine the search to find more matches like her.

Dating is so difficult these days, finding the right person is close to impossible. Sure there are plenty of dating sites out there, I know, I joined a bunch of them, but all too often the person's description is incorrect and the pictures can be 20 or 30 years old.

I was not sure what to expect when I joined It's Just Lunch several months ago, but any hopes for success in the dating world have not only been met but exceeded as well thanks to Bryanna and It's Just Lunch!

That's why having a personal counselor like Bryanna is imperative. She's able to comb through the good and the not-so-good and the suggestions are right on target. I feel like she's my new best friend looking out for me every day. That's a rare feeling these days in our modern world, everything seems to be impersonal, computer operated, and leaving you wishing there was a better option.

I'm here to tell you that Bryanna and It's Just Lunch are the real deal and they are the real option in our normally out-of-control dating world! My faith has been restored in the personal touch that It's Just Lunch offers.

Fraudulent sales pitch, unable to deliver services promised, rude responses to concerns and complaints, and inability to negotiate an agreeable solution. Highly unethical business practices.

Tip for consumers:
Useless waste of money..... they dupe vulnerable women. False sales pitch, rude interaction with staff, and absolutely no willingness to take ANY responsibility for contracts not fulfilled.
There’s ALWAYS an excuse.
