With so many dating options
out there, why did you
choose It's Just Lunch?
D: I travel a lot for work, so I’d
read about It’s Just Lunch in
airline magazines, and then I
ran into a friend who was attending
the wedding of an attorney
in town who’d met her husband
through IJL – the fact that those
two events happened so close
together, I thought I should call
them. At the end of my work day
I didn’t want to come home and
go look at profiles online. I felt
like it was a waste of my time.
M: I had gotten a divorce and
then did online dating for a
while before joining IJL. I joined
mainly because it’s a lot of work
to do the online thing. You have
to keep up on it. You never really
know who you’re going to meet.
IJL was just a lot easier. They
found people for me based on
what I was looking for and I just
had to show up. You don’t have to
do much work.
What would you tell a friend
who was apprehensive
about investing the money
on IJL?
M: I’d ask, “Are you looking for a
relationship or not?” With online
dating you never know who’s on
the other side of the line. IJL had
better quality people who were
interesting to me. It truly was
an experience that was tailored
for me.
Describe your first meeting
with an IJL matchmaker?
D: She asked me questions about
myself, what I like to do, what I
want in a relationship, whether
I’d marry someone who already
had kids, how important religion
is, that kind of thing. It
would take much longer to find out
someone else’s answers to those
questions through online dating.
This was black and white.
Tell us about your first date
with one another.
D: I never went on lunch dates
because I was always busy at work
so I met Michael after work at a
downtown restaurant. The conversation
just flowed. I was attracted
to him from the start. I remember
it turned into dinner.
M: I’m good at having a conversation
if I’m interested in somebody,
and I was interested in her. We
had a great conversation. I don’t
think either of us wanted to leave.
What was your favorite part
about dating through IJL?
D: I met my husband, so I guess
I would say that! It’s Just Lunch
– it’s just a lot of fun. I remember
I’d get off a plane and have a
voicemail from the matchmaker
saying she had a potential date
for me. She would tell me about
the person and was flexible with
scheduling.
With online dating, you can go
back and forth and waste a month
with someone and not really get to
know them. With IJL, you go meet
your match and if you like them,
you see them again, and if you
don’t, you’re done.
M: I liked that they’d just call me
up and say they had a date for me.
You have to eat, so it was a nice
way to meet people. If you’re interested,
then you move forward.
If not, then you don’t have to do
anything.
