How We Met

Before IJL, I was new to a huge, scary city and I didn't know a single person. Dating with the help of IJL has helped me get out, meet new people and see new places. I love trying new things and now I'm more confident with my city's culture. I have a super demanding career with crazy work hours. Being in a new city, I was finding it very hard to get out and meet new people. Audra and the team at IJL helped push me to get out in ways I never could have done on my own. Trying to places with people I would have never met without the help of IJL were just a couple of the amazing perks! I am fairly confident meeting new people, but a first date with IJL always comes with a lot of nervous excitement. It's always very nice to know that even though you're going into a first date blind (for the most part), you have the support of your IJL Team cheering you on from behind the scenes! They truly want the best for you.

Online dating can be mindless and fun, but who really has time for that? Weeding out weird/fake/creepy profiles can be a full time job and you can never be truly sure of someone's intentions. With IJL, you can feel confident that your matches are going to be on the same page as you. They are investing in their future, just like you are, so you know that they are serious. It's a relief to have IJL helping you behind the scenes. Letting IJL do the "dirty" work while you get to enjoy the perks is priceless! Updating your IJL team after a date is just like calling a friend to fill them in. They're cheering for you because they want you to succeed.

“I have been very satisfied with my time with It’s Just Lunch. The Matchmakers and Coordinators at IJL are very talented people, and a pleasure to work with. Through IJL I have been able to meet women that I would not have had an opportunity to meet through traditional dating sites or in my normal daily activities. I encourage everyone who wants to make more out of their dating experience to give IJL a try.”

“After losing my wife to cancer and being married for 31 years, I didn’t know how to date again. This (IJL Houston) was a good venue to meet new people. I met some lovely ladies and finally met the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
