AN EASIER WAY TO
MEET SOMEONE
Q:
So what does today’s dating scene
look like?
A:
Dating today is an interesting paradox:
we’re more connected than ever through
social media and online networking, yet
we’re also more disconnected than ever.
Today’s technology makes communication
faster, but I’m not sure it’s better. You can’t
make a genuine connection with someone
by texting, emailing or friending. When you

meet someone in person and share a meal
together, you see how that person interacts
with you and the people around you. You
observe their body language and how they
carry themselves. That’s where the true
chemistry happens: face-to-face, one on one.
At It’s Just Lunch, our focus is to get people
out from behind their computers and out
making connections with real people.
Q:
What’s the biggest frustration
singles have with modern dating?
A:
I hear the same thing over and over:
“it was like a second job spending all that
time looking over online profiles trying to
find someone who could be a match”. It just
takes all the fun out of dating. Most singles
don’t have a problem finding dates, but they
can’t find “good” dates. After a round of bad
matches and a busy schedule, it’s easy for one
to feel like giving up on dating all together.
Q:
So why do people come to you at It’s
Just Lunch?
A:
People hire specialists such as financial
advisors and personal trainers to handle
so many aspects of their lives, so why not
use a professional to help you find someone
special. We specialize in dating—we’ve made
more than two million matches over the past
20 years!
Q:
What differentiates It’s Just Lunch
from other dating sites out there?
A:
We believe that the best way to get to
know someone is face-to-face. So, we meet
every IJL client in person to get a feel for
his or her personality, preferences and
relationship goals. Then we hand-select and
arrange fun casual dates so our clients can
meet someone face-to-face and see if there is
chemistry.
Q:
Does it work?
A:
Answer: 20 years, 150 cities and over
two million first dates. Get in touch with
