How We Met

“I tried some online dating. The switch for me to It’s Just Lunch was I really needed someone who understood what I did – I do research, when you’re writing grants it’s pretty time consuming, that’s part of how I am and it’s not going to change, and research is something I love. For me, I was looking for someone who was serious and also understood science and academia – I wanted someone in that kind of realm and that was hard to find online. I figured IJL would have a higher bar.”

“My dating life before It's Just Lunch was basically friends, family and a small stretch online so nothing productive. It was a real pleasure to get to It's Just Lunch. I joined primarily because of my busy schedule. I'm out of town an enormous amount of time, and the online systems were just too cumbersome and almost like a second job in and of itself and I just really needed to find a better way.”

“My favorite feature of It's Just Lunch was the matchmaker. She made me feel really comfortable when I was talking to her because I was a little bit nervous to join a service. So the minute I talked to my matchmaker, I was ready to sign up.”

“I was traveling in and out of Seattle a lot for work. At some point I decided it would be a lot easier if I had dates managed for me. Then once I joined It’s Just Lunch – it worked out great…I met Tracey!”

“It’s Just Lunch is a very high caliber way of dating. It takes the guesswork out of dating. It’s Just Lunch was able to find the match that I was looking for. It took a few tries to get it right but that’s what’s dating’s about. Sometimes you have to try things on to find out what you really value and what you really want. It’s Just Lunch provided a great candidate base that was professional and the same caliber of what I was looking for in my match.”
