Ditch theLaptop
The premise of It’s Just Lunch is simple:
a lunchdate or drink afterwork is the ideal
first date. It’s a no pressure, relaxed set-
tingwhere you can talk face-to-face. “Real
chemistryhappens in person,”Herington
says. “Youmay be having a great online
relationship, butwhen you finallymeet,
youdiscover that the person you’ve spent
somuch timewith in cyberspace is nothing
likewhat you imagined.”Replace those
digital emoticonswith a casual lunchdate
and you’ll know immediately if you should
take it to the next level.

Get aWingman (orWingwoman)
It’s Just Lunch clients often refer
to theirmatchmakers as their “dating
wingwomen” because theyhandle all of
the dating logistics. Heringtondescribes
her role, saying, “We’re genuinely inter-
ested inunderstanding our clients.We
get to know you andwhat you’re looking
for.”Every IJLmatch is hand-selected.
There’s no online profile for
theworld to see and it’s all
confidential. After everydate,
IJLmatchmakers receive
feedback from each client in
order to fine-tune the next
match. “We offer something
online services don’t: someone
to talk to,”Herington says.
Imagine having a full-time
datingwingwomanworking
for youwhile you’re focusing
on your career and personal
obligations.
