Awful service. I never worked with the same consultant twice. They never got my name correct. I did not get my five dates in a year. They tried to set me up with men two hours away and my city msa is over a million. Arg!

In summary, I would not recommend It’s Just Lunch to a friend.

I signed up to It's Just Lunch, paid by credit card over the phone from the UK and never heard from them again. This was in March, with the promise that the dates would start in April. April, May, June, came and went and nothing. I have phoned them many, many times but they fob me off with their stupid, horrible, fake 'happy to help' voices over the phone, but no explanations, no apologies, and no refund, despite my constant requests. There's never anyone there who has the authority to issue or deal with a refund, and to speak to a manager I've had to put in a request and they call me back within 24 hours. When someone did call me back, she just said she didn't have authority to give me the refund and that she'd call me back when she's spoken to someone who did. But guess what - no call. They are just a load of thieves with no intention of paying me back, so it would seem. PLEASE DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS COMPANY.

This is a scam operation started by one Melissa Brown in San Diego CA. Based on her own LinkedIn profile she had very little work experience and no prior business experience. as a result she started this scam preying on lonely hearts and people who have just suffered a break up and are still hurting. They will start off by promising you the moon. Get you to pay them a $2000 upfront fee for a dating service for 4-6 months where they promise you at least one perfect compatible match per month. You think well I am so busy with work, if they do the prelimiary work for me why not. Then you give them a detailed account of what you are looking for and what you are not looking for. They pretend to take notes. Then they set you up on a date with a person that they claim to be exactly what you are looking for, but no pictures. You arrive at the date location only to find out the person is not what they said , in terms of looks, qualification, marital status (they are not even single) and geography (not within your geographical preference)in fact someone...

Costs around $2,000 for one year and guaranteed 10 dates. I've been in it for 6 months and had 5 dates. Absolutely no one I would ever ho out with, maybe one thing in common. Hot told my first "match" was 5' 10 or 11". He was 5'7". I would not waste you $$. My matchmaker is horrible-takes forever to reply, wanted me to pay extra to drive 2 hr to a larger city but clearly told me those clients aren't expected to travel.

It is one of the biggest scams going--- DO NOT TRUST THEM
They will tell you that by contract you are guarenteed 10 dates a year --
count them people 10 dates
But then they will tell you most people date much more and you will be able to set up your own frequency.
This is a total lie
My first person i dealt with was lovely
However the next and it seems management also would only allow me to have the 10 dates i was contracted for.
I paid over 2000$ for those 10 dates--
Not a good value if you ask me
Be careful -- they will cheat you

In summary, I would not recommend It’s Just Lunch to a friend.

They advertise more first dates than any other service. Ask them how many second dates come of their service. Their matchmaking is equivlant to a drunk monkey playing darts against a blind a person with no arms. Expect nothing but the bare minimum from IJL but at $200/month its a very steep price to pay. I felt deceived and frauded throughout my whole membership. These people are big talkers and invent this wonderful sounding story but don't deliver. I would discourage anyone I meet NOT to join IJL.

In summary, I would not recommend It’s Just Lunch to a friend.

Avoid this company at all costs. They required an upfront payment of $900 followed by $100 per month for the remaining 11 months in the year. In exchange they offer only a single introduction per month, so you're paying more than $160 per date right off the bat -- and that assumes you last the whole year.

The initial sales person is very friendly and engaging. Although my very first contact was with a man, he quickly passed me off to a young woman. I wouldn't have minded dating HER, and I think that was the point. I'm pretty sure that they shunt you to an engaging opposite-sex salesperson as a sales tactic.

When you sign up, they talk to you over the phone to learn about you and discuss your likes and dislikes, and you set up the dates with a dating coordinator by phone. (Of course, this person is nowhere near as friendly as the salesperson had been.) They set you up on a first date, and after that first date you meet a company representative in person to fine tune your profile -- and show them your ID. It seemed odd to... (Read the full review)

My name for this company when it is referred to my friends is "It's Just Money" because it is one of the biggest waste of money I have ever spent in my life! A little under $4,000 got me 6 dates - one every two months, (big deal) and the dates were too old, not at all good looking (not that it is a huge factor in a relationship but when they are below average for someone who isn't...I was not satisfied), some were even unemployed, or just looking for sex. It's a lot of money to spend for a dating service and men, in general, won't spend that type of cash for something such as dating. It's Just Lunch doesn't make it easy for women - they should reduce their costs for men if they want more men to sign up. But no, they just continue to pocket all the cash.

When I signed up I thought that I'd have follow up from my "salesperson" who was very aggressive and so convincing that her service was going to be 'magic'. Instead I signed up and basically never heard from her again (she got her money, so she was happy).... (Read the full review)
