Good luck in your dating search! I was assigned to Sheri, N executive matchmaker who has been very polite, relaxed, patient and helpful with me as we navigate the personal matchmaking experience together. I was looking for a match in the East Tennessee area, mainly in the Knoxville area. After Udonna asked several pertinent questions, she explained the IJL program in more detail. Udonna asked specific questions about my preferences and fully explained the dating protocol.

I found my date to be exactly as described and pictured by IJL. We had a lovely dinner and talked non-stop for two hours. There was never an awkward lull in the conversation, and I think both were surprised at how many similarities we shared. We jointly decided by the end of dinner that we would like to date again, and both are anxious for our next adventure.

We have communicated several times already, and everything seems to be moving naturally. Udonna has provided great support and advice "straight out of the gate". At this point, I'm very impressed. Debbie is my new match maker. She brings on enthusiasm, humor, and reality to the IJL.

Easy to communicate with her. Debbie seems to enjoy her role as match maker, and I feel she is sincerely researching to find me an appropriate date. I would not recommend this service. It is extremely expensive for the value received. I have been on 9 dates and have received only 1 woman's contact info, in spite of offering many of these women my contact info.

I have never been on a second date with this service. To be fair, IJL has done a very nice job with matchmaking. Admittedly, I'm not the most handsome man. I'm not the most charming man out there. But, I think I bring quite a bit to the table. I think the problem is not so much that It's Just Lunch is doing a bad job. They do a pretty good job doing what they do. I think the problem for an average looking guy like me is, most likely, that women using this service have standards that I just cannot meet. I think that unless a man is a 9 or a 10 on the desirability scale, he's not going to have much success finding a partner using this service.

Obed my matchmaker at IJL is great.

There are plenty of people eager to make new connections on Plenty of Fish.

I've been satisfied that Obed is interested in my well being and connecting me with interesting people. My first match was enjoyable and we'll be going out dancing soon. I look forward to be able to continue to work with Obed. Thank you. It's sad that you guys cannot even pay for our meal or a simple drink from the large amount that we have paid for this service.

The pool of men is limited and not much better than say Tinder. My first match maker was awful and not great at her job, my new Matchmaker is better and putting in a greater effort to find the right fit for me. Please take the feedback to improve. I initially contacted It's Just Lunch and spoke to Marlo, who seemed in a great rush to sign me up. She went through a "getting to know me" conversation where she asked me various superficial questions about what I liked, disliked, hobbies, family, etc. She clearly did not listen to any of the answers.

Not even ten seconds after I told her I have no siblings or children and both my parents are dead, she asked me how important it was for me to spend time with my parents, brothers, sisters, children, etc. I also told her that I was not interested in outdoors activities such as camping, hiking, but I was interested in playing golf. I told her that I would like to date in Manhattan and she said that would be easy to arrange. Despite misgivings, I decided to try the service - more fool me, I know.

Next thing, Udonna was put in touch with me as my matchmaker. We did a Zoom call, and it became clear from the start that Marlo had not passed on any information about me. I had to repeat much of the information I had already given Marlo, and Udonna was not aware that I was interested in golf, or that I was not interested in outdoor activities. It was as if Marlo had just given Udonna my name and nothing else. Marlo never mentioned anything about Fort Lee, nor did the contract say anything about Fort Lee. I told Udonna that I had not been successful matching with people in New Jersey because they were always outdoorsy types, which is why I wanted to date in Manhattan.

I was also concerned about the distance, but Udonna told me that the dates were informed that they have to come to me, so distance would not be a problem. Again I felt Udonna was not listening to me. I got upset when she talked about Fort Lee, and instead of reassuring me, she became aggressive with me. She somehow got the impression that I didn't want to date guys in Fort Lee because they might already be on other online sites, which is not what I said.

I have never used a matchmaking service before, and it felt like everyone I spoke to did not listen to what I wanted, nor did they care, and they certainly were not communicating in a positive way. I became anxious that I had done the wrong thing and wasted a lot of money. Udonna was very offhand with me, and the zoom meeting did not go well.

It didn't help that we conducted the zoom call with a fake background which kept pixellating - for all I know she could have been in her bathroom! However, it seemed that I was stuck, so I agreed to go out with a guy called Martin whom she matched with me. She knew almost nothing about him again a red flag for me other than he lived in Manhattan and owned two businesses and liked hiking and camping, which I told her I'm not interested in..

I needn't have worried because after about a week, and having to follow up with her, Undonna phoned and told me that they didn't have an email for Martin, and he wasn't responding to phone calls. So she then matched me up with Jim, who again she knew next to nothing about other than he liked, once again, hiking and camping. Again, no response from Jim. I started to think these were not real matches.

I called someone in customer service at IJL but nobody returned my call - a pattern with which I am now all too familiar. Bernie and Lori It's Just Lunch couple. West Palm Beach, FL. No online dating profile for the world to see. Our process How it works.
