It's Just Lunch Review
Authored by: Anonymous (Anonymous User) on Wednesday, April 28 2021 @ 02:53 pm
After years of stopping the service, I still continue to receive non-stop calls almost every week. I have verbally told them I am no longer interested in the service and to please remove me from their call list. But I still continue to get very bland calls where they don't even say their name or reason for calling, just that there is something interesting in the area. This scummy company doesn't care about what you want, they will continue to harass you with phone calls for their own benefit. Don't waste your time.
Experience with It's Just Lunch
Authored by: Kirstyn (Anonymous User) on Friday, April 23 2021 @ 02:47 pm
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I wish I could go back in time and save myself the grief and the $1,000. Not a single date and the potential “matches” met none of my specifications.
Matchmakers were not interested in getting to know my desired qualities in a mate. What’s worse, I finally did get a “match” and he stood me up 20 minutes before the date was to begin. They clearly do not vet their potential matches. After I reached out about getting more appropriate matches- including ones that met at least ONE of my desired qualities and would actually attend a date- they claimed it wasn’t their problem.
They then denied a refund based upon the “date” who stood me up. Eva, the intake employee, is very kind and bubbly but from there it went downhill. I worked with Vanessa who had no concern for my desires. After the 3 month period was up, I spoke with Melissa, who was even less concerned about the results and only cared about retaining the money. I am upset with their overall treatment, lack of care, and refusal to refund the money owed back to me as outlines in the contract. As much as I want to support a woman-owned business, IJL is a pure scam. After being taken for a thousand dollars and dealing with incompetent employees who call themselves matchmakers, I will ensure I disseminate my experience to everyone considering working with this fictitious matchmaking service.
Misled and Disappointed
Authored by: Jill M (Anonymous User) on Tuesday, November 10 2020 @ 07:45 pm
I feel really misled having signed up for this service.
When signing up, I was fed all these hopes of there being young professional men who are ready to pursue a partner, even in this pandemic! Every date was exhausting and even after lots of feedback given to my matchmaking team, there was nowhere near a connection.
If you're a professional young woman, I'd say to save your money and just hang on until a better service comes around. They charge $1800 just to join, and then $98/month for membership. They'll paint a pretty picture of how you can put your membership on hold at any time if you think you've found a connection or need a break, but what they don't mention is that it still costs $28/month to NOT use your membership and let your file sit on a computer in an office somewhere.
Plus, if you try to change the status of your membership or cancel your membership and miss the cutoff you still get charged for the entire month. Watch out, y'all, there are ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS. That's a lot of money to risk and say goodbye to.
On top of the financial issues, I felt like all of the feedback I was giving to my team was being ignored. Despite being explicit in my priorities when finding a partner, I would find out during the dates that these wishes were all but ignored.
Perhaps the questionnaire they use leads people to answer in what they think will be a favorable way, but from the summaries that they give you as an introduction before the date to the actual date themselves, it's hard not to feel misled. Part of me feels like they ask for feedback just to make the clients feel like they're being heard when they're not.
Even if all the dates hadn't been virtual, I think I would've suffered equally, if not more, during in-person dates. At least when you're at home you can call it a night and just shut down your computer.
I can't imagine being in a restaurant actually having a meal with some of these men and being stuck waiting for the check with nothing more to say or ask. I didn't think finding someone would continue to be so difficult and frustrating when I was paying so much to have a team search for me. Very disappointed and frustrated that I took a chance on this service.

Was lead to believe I would be seeing several quality candidates with similar interests - until I paid them. I've been a professional job recruiter for many years. I know a thorough screening process when I see one, and it's not here. They try to get you to agree to random dates without seeing any profile photos. When you request a photo, they may have one head shot to offer at best. T
hey would call to present a candidate and tell me they found a great match, "they like wine, live music, and the outdoors". That would be the extent of their matching criteria. For $4,500 I expect more than that. They just try to get you to agree to random dates, hoping something will click. I paid them so I could stop going on random dates and find gals with similar interests & beliefs other than wine and music. If you're looking for a thorough screening process, go somewhere else! If you're looking for random dates and don't care about physical attraction, like beliefs and interests, these are the guys.

I am so disappointed in IJL. They are master sales people, everything sounds too good to be true, because it is. I was told a minimum of 6 dates, BUT, it was more likely I would have more each month. I've had a total of 3 since April. The first date was the complete opposite of the information I had given my "match maker". They say the "client base if vast". Not true. If it were, I would have more dates. I was called by some who wanted me to pay more money (like $4100 wasn't enough already), for the "select" group.
When you question why each date takes so long, I got a b.s. answer of we want to be select, it takes three weeks to find someone in the data base that fits a basic description??? Iwish I had checked this site and yelp first. Every story is the same.
Not listening to your needs, One lousy date per month. $683 per virtual date? SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!
It's Just Lunch during Covid
Authored by: Ann (Anonymous User) on Thursday, September 24 2020 @ 07:41 am
Doesn't Covid make it much harder for IJL to find dates though?
I used IJL a few years ago and was planning to again soon once the pandemic gets it bit better. I recently broke up with my partner and want to meet some new people instead of trying to meet someone through friends.

I signed up November 1 2019. I had one date in November , but he canceled . I argued that my contract was not honored . Then two dates in December, both at restaurants an hour away . The cuisine was not my taste. I got a little tongue lashed when questioned the reason for these scenarios. Needless to say, the dates were disappointing .

Authored by: Anonymous (Anonymous User) on Friday, December 13 2019 @ 06:03 pm
I solicited their services and paid, hoping for quality service, according to the stipulations of the contract, and for them to deliver what they claim. The first month, August 2019, every time I called I had to speak with "your new matchmaker".
They first found a match that I also met on Elite Singles, so that failed, then they found other 2 matches who did not meet my main criteria of men who have been married and were parents.
After August I have not heard from them at all; called, left messages, e-mailed, no reply whatsoever. Finally on Dec 13 2019 I get an email from Debbie stating they are still looking since they wish to be "very selective". I told her about all the messages I left, and also informed her of my new, serious relationship I found on my own.
She congratulated me, to then state they do not refund, but will put my membership on hold, and "hopefully soon" I'll need their services again????!!!! Her reply is appalling and completely unprofessional, much less smart or even human.
I asked to speak with her manager and she said she'd rather speak in person, why don't I give her a call - I then replied I did call her and left a VM with my number, which obviously she was not even aware of..or chose to ignore.

If you're thinking of joining It's Just Lunch, please read:
Before I signed up for It's Just Lunch, I read reviews, some of which were really terrible. But, I thought, 'Hey, I'm successful and relatively good looking, so will likely have a much better experience than that.' I was very mistaken. This has been the most humiliating dating experience I've ever had.
Things you should know before you join: YOU GO ON BLIND DATES. THE MATCHING PROCESS IS TERRIBLE. IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY.
I paid $3200, PLUS $99 per month. In 9 months I had just 11 dates. I was not attracted to these dates, and I had little in common with them. One date was 16 years older than me!
I was told there were lots of men in my area and if I had to travel the date would meet me half way. But, at times I would drive 1-1.5 hours and my dates would drive 5-15 minutes.
After a couple months I was called by a service called Elite Singles (a subsidiary of IJL) who said there was a lot of positive feedback from my dates and recommended I move to their service. The Elite Singles service offered to go out to social events and find men for me to date. They sent me pictures of multiple very good looking and successful men that I could meet through Elite Singles.
The price for Elite Singles? $30,000. Yes, you read that correctly - $30,000. I'm left with the conclusion this was a total scam - $4,000 for a completely humiliating dating experience. For a mere $26,000 more, I could get what I thought I was getting with It's Just Lunch. I write this review to try to save others money and a miserable experience.

So not true. I was a participant for IJL - then I became a client and then I found my special someone. That is not at all what you sign. There is no agreement that states you won't say you are a non-paying member. It's about upholding the IJL standard. I have to assume the reviews on this site are not from verified clients of IJL as there is a ton of false and misleading information on this site. I asked a ton of questions and gave serious and honest feedback. It took a while but they listened and found me a wonderful person!

I am a client and I couldn't agree with you more. There is a ton of bad information on here. I think some people think there is a magic wand even though what they've been doing didn't work. I have worked hard to provide feedback and every date hasn't been great but has gotten better each time. Chemistry is the key and I'm confident I will continue to have a great time and the potential is definitely there to meet someone I have chemistry with. I am definitely meeting REAL people and no longer fighting through any dating websites full of scammers and hookups.

I decided to spend the money on myself with IJL to obtain quality. What I have gotten from IJL is way more humiliating depressing and disheartening than anything I experienced for $40 a month online. In fact it is so bad I'm actually going to therapy
I signed up early November, first Matchmaker ended up yelling at me. Received another Matchmaker without any apology for what happened. My first date end of December. ER physician. Liked him a lot went on two dates and then was told he was not looking for a relationship and he sent me a really rude picture of himself. Depressing and humiliating.
Next date February. Walked around restaurant for an hour with people staring at me. Restaurant did not know anything about IJL date. He never showed up. Couldn't be reached. More depressing and humiliating. Keep in mind these dates are more than an hour away from my house, close to where they are in Orlando.
Sent several emails and calls to second Matchmaker and finally called corporate headquarters to discover that she was not in the Orlando market anymore. Finally got a email from new Matchmaker. Next match sent to me was 5"6" gentleman. Told Matchmaker I did not I think it was a good match because in none of his pictures was he smiling at all and I am a person who smiles all the time. She assured me that he was actually a very fun guy and that I should go. Date was set today, middle of May almost three months after the last date didn't show. Date set for 1:30. I told Matchmaker that friends wanted to go to Universal, if date could be earlier would be great, if not I would cancel my plans. Matchmaker said I should cancel my plans, so I did. Today went to restaurant an hour away and no one showed up. No one called. I am beyond humiliated and upset and depressed.How in the world do you stay in business? I have gone into this with palms up and made myself very vulnerable which is not easy for a physician. In return I have gotten nothing but humiliation and depression and no one seems to help

Authored by: Anonymous (Anonymous User) on Friday, September 01 2017 @ 01:51 pm
Highly disappointed in this site- the "dates" they set you up with don't match the profile presented, their customer service response time is poor. I had heard positive things from other success stories, but that is definitely not the case. When asked to negotiate an additional date based on the last match lied on his profile (he reported business manager and he was actually hourly construction worker), they said I was introduced so it counts. They were misleading and did not offer to clarify the information.
Don't spend the money on them.

I signed up for IJL six years ago, I never even paid any money. I just filled out the paperwork and then decided against it after hearing the cost. Early on they called me daily no matter what I said and the calls never stopped. I spoke to someone last year and told them I was engaged and not interested and the calls started again this week, every freaking day. I don't know if they reactivate their dating data base or what happens. But at least 10 calls a year. And i block the number and they call from another one. If I called someone that many times and they told me they were not interested and did not respond I would stop. Why do you keep calling? Don't give them your info.

If there was a rating of zero stars, then I would have chosen that.I wish I would have seen all of the local South Florida reviews on Yelp before I joined. They are all correct! I believe they don't have sufficient candidates (victims) to set you up with. They don't listen to your interests and will set you up with whoever they want. I gave them a list of pros/cons. One of my main deal breakers is distance. I wished to date someone within 10/15 miles, yet they set me up on a date that was 40 miles away. They don't have anyone in Miami?!? It's been nearly a year, and I have only been on one date within the first month. They keep passing me along to different dating directors. Don't waste your money, time, nor hopes. They will not refund your money even though they cannot meet the description of their services. Run!!! Run away quickly!!!! I strongly advise anyone who is thinking of joining this dating service to do your due diligence and check other websites ie. better business bureau, attorney general's office & yelp for honest reviews.

Awful awful. They told me that they had a new model. That I would be give profiles of men who matched with me. Men would also have profiles. Would not be just random dates with people you don't match with. So they show me a profile of a guy with zero information about him. I asked if he had seen my profile and they said no. He was willing to be matched with anyone. That is not what I purchased. After 4 months and not one match I ask how much the membership for just random dates. You don't see profiles and they don't see profiles. She said the same cost. Liars. I am turning them into the TEXAS AG OFFICE.

Do NOT fall for this! I was promised four dates in six months. The first three dates stood me up. The fourth was obviously not interested in being on this date. This is a cash cow for the company and the employees are unprofessional and untrained. They are clearly not matchmakers at all. Join at your own risk and loss of your money.

Awful, awful experience. I would never suggest using this company. I'm an attractive outgoing woman who likes to hunt, fish, vacation, cook, etc. I didn't think this should be too difficult for them. The 2 years I have been with this company I've had the worst dates ever!I live in a major city and 95% of the dates they had chosen for me live atleast 2+ hours away. I had informed them many times I do not want to go on a date with somebody that far away nor do I want to date a person with children. I absolutely love kids!! But I'm not ready for them in my life right now. They never paid any attention to what I had asked for and would continue to set me up with men with children who lived 2+ hours away. Very frustrating. That was a huge issue for me.
Also, of the dates, very rarely did I have anything in common with them. Going to meet them out was honestly a chore. Some of them literally just stared at me (no lie) and a couple who actually did engage in conversation I found out we really had nothing in common and were clearly not a good match. One "match" actually sent me half naked pictures of himself the following day so I wouldn't forget what he looked like.
I'm not quite sure how we were placed. It was as if they just picked men at random and gave no thought to who I was matched with. I paid how much money for this service?! Many times at the dates I would pay the full bill just to get out of there. I told the dating coordinator each time how these matches were not good and it seemed they didn't have anybody in my area for me and I wanted to quit. She would tell me time and time again they would find me a good date.
It finally got to the point in these dates that I think the dating coordinator realized the dates were actually quite awful. And the few dates I was going on were rather few. She said she wasn't going to charge me anymore until they had more matches in my area. Wonderful!! Somebody who actually listened! Unfortunately, she moved on and I got another new dating coordinator. I informed her of what the agreement was when she tried to set me up with a date who was 2 hours away with children (I wish I was kidding) and I wanted to keep the agreement where I wasn't going to be charged until there was a match in my area. She said fine, we'd be in touch. i was happy. I really thought they were going to actually try now!!!
About 6 months passed when I called to see what was going on with my file. I'm a very busy medical professional and had spent some time vacationing in Europe and around the U.S. I spoke with a different coordinator who told me her manager and I had apparently spoke and I had agreed that I was done with IJL and deactivated my file. Hmmmmm. Nope. I never heard from the company. I asked when this phone call had taken place and she told me the date. Funny thing is the date the call had happened, I was vacationing in Europe for 3 weeks!! So. I'd like to know how we talked. Furthermore, if she really did call me, I would have informed her I was going to be moving to California and if she'd be able to set me up with the service out there. She then told me "Well, we tried to set you up with good matches." Not quite sure what a good match is in there eyes....... I told the coordinator of like to speak to this person and it's been over a month with no call from her.
Lengthy, I know. But please whatever you do, stay away from this disaster of a service!! They honestly just want your money and don't care. And. They clearly lie not only to you but make up some interesting stuff to sell you these dates. I had heard this from a few of the dates I went with Its just not worth it
They were just sued by a group of women in New York for the multiple lies they would tell them.

IJL is a scam! Do not sign up or pay this company any amount of money. I paid over 5K. Can't believe I fell for this. They seemed so professional until they received my payment. It went down hill from there. I was set up with exactly the opposite kind of people i requested. After a really bad date, they extended my membership free for 1 month, but guess what? No dates. I am sure they will come up with a date right before my membership expires and try to talk me into extending my membership. I would not extend even if they paid me. IJL should be shut down.

I informed her of what the agreement was when she tried to set me up with a date who was 2 hours away with children (I wish I was kidding) and I wanted to keep the agreement where I wasn't going to be charged until there was a match in my area. She said fine, we'd be in touch. i was happy. I really thought they were going to actually try now!!!
About 6 months passed when I called to see what was going on with my file. I'm a very busy medical professional and had spent some time vacationing in Europe and around the U.S. I spoke with a different coordinator who told me her manager and I had apparently spoke and I had agreed that I was done with IJL and deactivated my file. Hmmmmm. Nope. I never heard from the company. I asked when this phone call had taken place and she told me the date. Funny thing is the date the call had happened, I was vacationing in Europe for 3 weeks!! So. I'd like to know how we talked. Furthermore, if she really did call me, I would have informed her I was going to be moving to California and if she'd be able to set me up with the service out there. She then told me "Well, we tried to set you up with good matches." Not quite sure what a good match is in there eyes....... I told the coordinator of like to speak to this person and it's been over a month with no call from her.
Lengthy, I know. But please whatever you do, stay away from this disaster of a service!! They honestly just want your money and don't care. And. They clearly lie not only to you but make up some interesting stuff to sell you these dates. I had heard this from a few of the dates I went with Its just not worth it
They were just sued by a group of women in New York for the multiple lies they would tell them.

Can't believe I fell for this. They seemed so professional until they received my payment. It went down hill from there. I was set up with exactly the opposite kind of people i requested. After a really bad date, they extended my membership free for 1 month, but guess what? No dates. I am sure they will come up with a date right before my membership expires and try to talk me into extending my membership. I would not extend even if they paid me. IJL should be shut down.

Cham: Sometimes people need to be exposed for who they are hahah or maybe I should stop being petty
Tracy Au: There's a difference between trying to make someone look bad, and exposing them for who they are. It's like those #MeToo accusers and victims, they are plainly telling everybody about the perpetrators. They're not trying to make them look bad.
