The worst experience I have ever had. This site is set up for lonely men. I am a business woman and was looking for an alternative to what there well....isn't out there. Basically I felt like each date was filling a quota for the man without any interest in what I was looking for. The biggest waste of money ever. The women working there are complete sales associates and are all about money. It was so bad that I didn't even go on the last of 5 dates at a cost of $4000.00. Biggest mistake ever. Most of us work hard for our money and that was such a disappointing waste of mine. Ironically....JL Denver read more

the team at IJL has been great to work with. most of my dates were aligned with my expectation. they are professional and are working to find you the right person. I would recommend them. read more

I stand by my two previous reviews. You say it's the problem of the New York IJL office, but the song and dance I was given by you here in Denver is the exact language used in the lawsuit. You are just as guilty the NY office. Location of the filing of the lawsuit does not absolve you of your participation in this scripted scam. If this didn't apply to your office, the lawyers would not have reached out to me to file a claim and long overdue refund of at least some of my money you stole in the name of greed. Again, $4,600 for six months, with substandard men is beyond words. You never revealed that men were offered much better membership rates, nor did you mention that the few men you do have are sent out several times a week. I saw six men in six months and each one said the same thing. You people are awful and I let everyone I know just how bad and deceitful you really are. read more

I had 25 dates over 1 year, and did not connect with any of the dates. I think they have a smaller pool of people than they admit to. Also I felt that they "didn't get me" and so were not able to match me up well. I also feel that they were misleading and even dishonest about the number of people in their system. It's a business and they seem to act like they care and understand but my impression is that they are just trying to make a buck. I think its a waste of time and money! Don't let them manipulate you with their talk. read more

I feel like I could copy and paste so many of the one-star reviews on here. When I told one of my best friends about the last date I went on... the one which prompted me to terminate their service she said, "It seems like they did that on purpose." That got my wheels turning. When I spoke with another friend about my experience, and she confirmed that she'd gone through the exact same thing, I became more suspicious. Finally, the thought popped into my head that they WANTED me to quit. I would have to forfeit my initial investment. While I did some research before signing up, most of what I found was positive. Could it be that they pay to have positive reviews pushed to the top when you perform a search? Sure, lots of companies do. Now I am kicking myself for not digging deeper. The first few dates were okay, but I continued to express that they were missing the mark on the attraction level. I revisited and refined my "want" list with them. I even sent them pictures of people I had dated to give them a better idea of what I find attractive. Then, they sent me on the worst date of my life. I felt objectified and horrified at the same time. The date was so uncomfortable, that I had to text a friend to call me with an "emergency" to get me out of there. I cannot express the level of disappointment and anger I felt. Not only had they wasted my money, but It's Just Lunch had wasted something far more valuable: they wasted my time. They wasted my time when asking for my feedback they did not listen to. They wasted my time when I had to dig through photos of old boyfriends. They wasted my time telling me they were homing in on what I liked and gave me false hope that the next date might actually be better. They were never rude. They were professional and responsive to all calls, texts, or emails. They seemed to take their jobs seriously, until you got to an actual date and it each one turned into a bigger disaster than the last. I feel completely duped. While I know I will never get the time I spent trying to make this work, I truly feel a refund would at least make me believe they product they tout is real. But I'm not holding my breath on that one either. read more

I was hesitant to write a terrible review in the past, as I've noticed that IJL is quite hard on people who do so, and tries to embarrass them. However, when I saw the manager Stacy respond to an unhappy customer by saying "nor have we received any refund requests in recent memory" I felt compelled to chime in. I was so dissatisfied with the service and the quality of dates I received from IJL (Oct-Dec 2016) that I verbally demanded a refund. However, I was not successful in this, as they were extremely adamant they did not give refunds no matter how unhappy I was. Therefore, I ended up throwing away approximately $3000. IJL will respond and say that I had nice things to say about my dates. I am a kind person, and I don't like throwing people under the bus. I do agree that all of my dates were "nice". However, I made it VERY clear to them after each date that NONE of them were men that I had the slightest interest in seeing again, even though they were nice. They came nowhere close to the quality that I was told I could expect. I have since talked to several other women who were very unsatisfied with their service from IJL and also asked for refunds, (to no avail), so I'm not sure how they can claim to have no refund requests in recent memory. I can only gather that they are referring to written requests, not verbal. I would STRONGLY encourage women to NOT waste their $$$$ like I did. read more

Absolutely terrible and a HUGE waste of money. They won't even return emails or phone calls. Avoid this service. It is a scam.

Based on my last conversation when key team members are out they fall apart. My first date was fine, no connection but we seemed to be in each other's zone. It took nearly 3 months for my second date which was such a horrible mis-match on the criteria of education, physical fitness, employment, lifestyle, and location that I ended my contract with IJL. The excuse was a key person was out and that led to the error in match, then an attempted up-sell. If you can't get it right at the lower level why would I invest further with your company? Investment is always tied to results. read more

I join IJL lunch last January. It took over 6 weeks for first date. The first date was fun, but we had nothing in common and geography too far away. The second, was far from what was described to me, it was horrible and awkward. The third wasn't any better. I asked for a portion of my $3500 back, after I didn't have a date for the first month. They refused. I asked multiple times after the first, second and third, they refused. I called asking for the manager, they wouldn't let me talk to her. I finally google the owner, called her, who did not respond and then the manager responded. I'm happy to say, if you are thinking about It's Just Lunch, don't. I just received a notice yesterday of a CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST, "It's Just Lunch". Maybe the courts will bring justice to this fraudulent company. It's not "It's Just Lunch", it's, "IT'S JUST NOTHING!" read more

I'm still in the process of getting my money back. The intake person sold me on local Denver "It's Just Lunch" matchups. I am a young, attractive working single mom. I had no issues getting dates on free apps. I was paying for the service and convenience. Of course they make you sign a contract that says no refunds and pay a membership fee up front before ever being set up on a date. Mine was spread out over the year, but still. I was matched right away, but when the date was scheduled it was for somewhere 45 min away and drinks at 6:30pm. There's nothing "Just Lunch" or convenient about that. I called to cancel the date and was so shocked by the discrepancy in what I was told it would be (things like Cherry Creek North, Wash Park, etc were all thrown out by the intake matchmaker) that I asked for a refund. They refused. However since they haven't gotten back to me, I suspect I will have to have my credit card company dispute the charge. Also they use a very annoying 3rd party payments system called UAS that won't stop calling me. Everything about them screams scam. I foolishly signed up before reading the reviews but now I realize like all the reviews on Yelp are terrible. STAY AWAY. I know Tinder and Bumble are just the worst but you're better off than with It's Just Lunch. As of this review I've had zero dates, no call backs, and am down 640$ with a possible recurring charge that I am going to have to dedicate hours to preventing from happening. Stay away. read more

They're so bad don't even do them if they're free. But they're actually $2,400 for 6 wasted months. After my post Hope called and it got even worse. read more

Tried IJL 2 different times years apart. Both experiences were disappointing at best. As a woman, I paid $1500 for 3 dates over 3 months. Doesn't make sense to me that I don't get to see photos before a date, as I definitely was matched with men that would never fall into my definition of physically attractive. I also felt that there was a stable of men who were used as necessary to fulfill IJL's dating designations. I met a man who told me that was his role. Not worth your time, money, and energy. read more

6 dates in 5 months. NONE of them were at all what I was looking for in a match. Every post-date conversation I had with them I was told, "OH now I understand what you are looking for." and then the next date was worse. I feel bamboozled, lied to and misled. And worse, I signed a contract and so now I am stuck. Would NEVER recommend to anyone. read more

Hugely disappointing even if service had been reasonably priced, which it was not! Communication about what to expect was exceedingly poor (i.e. Number of men participating at any time; timeline to set up a intro, which had a huge lag time). I was set up with men who didn't meet even my most basic essential/core criteria (i.e. I wanted advanced upper education and active/fit lifestyle and was matched with someone who didn't complete college and was active but into motorsports, not fitness-oriented activities). I got the sense they "matched" me with the few men who were in a very tiny database. When I asked why they would match me with someone who wasn't very active in fitness activity (knowing it is my choice for spending probably 85% of my free time) I was told that I should be more open-minded to someone who may want to do active things but needs someone who an introduce the active ideas...! When dating in the 50yo range, it doesn't seem wise to me to enter a relationship expecting someone to change?! Not fair to either party! I also did not join IJL with aspirations to coach or train someone but instead to share some (not all) common interests, but more importantly to find someone with similar moral/relationship/family values plus intellectual curiosity across a range of topics. Someone who actively pursued not just new hobbies but also ideas and perspectives. I didn't feel these higher qualities were even peripherally vetted, nor were much simpler common interests. Would not recommend. read more

I have had a couple of experiences with IJL and they have both been bad. They had very few men for me to meet despite repeated promises that they had a lot of great guys. The "matches" did not have much in common with me and I think were all that was available. I would not recommend to a woman looking to meet a man. read more

WORST DATING SERVICE EVER!!!!!! What a waste of money! Total scam! I paid $2200 for 6 months and only got 6 dates, all of which were terrible. They clearly don't listen to what I am looking for! I would NEVER recommend them to ANYONE! read more

I had very high expectations for IJL because the staff seemed so nice and I thought for so much money, how could this not work? Unfortunately I was very wrong. I went on two dates in the first two months of my membership and neither of us had the same interests. Both dates were a bit of a disaster and I never talked to either of them after we said goodbye. About two months into the membership I found my boyfriend of a year on eHarmony. We asked if there was any way we could transfer the dates to a friend, or my brother, and they refused. We fully understood the contract but figured they would be easy to work with and might even understand. They took the 1200 dollars and pocketed it for 2 dates they set me up on where I even paid for my meal each time. Carrie was so sweet in the beginning but after she got her money she seemed not to try or care anymore. She went from a sales pitch to "tough love." They recently got in touch with me to ask me if I would come back for a "special" and I told them I was in a relationship, and that I had a very negative experience. Christine proceeded to tell me that was unfortunate and that I was on my own. She was very rude to me for being in a field where manners matter so much. I hope that this review will help you in your decision not to join IJL. Each day I regret spending that money so my hope is that if I can save some one else from doing it, I will feel some sort of relief. The experience will have almost been worth it if I can save some one else the money and frustration. read more

I was very unhappy with IJL. At over $4000, or over $500 per date, these ladies did not offer the personal service they advertise. They did not ever seem to understand what I was looking for, and, as a widow who cared for an older husband with dementia, they did not get it that I did not wish to meet another older guy (I'm not a cougar, just wanted to meet someone my age!!) I also often felt they didn't have anyone to match me with, but rather than being truthful, they would match me with inappropriate dates. If they had guys who hadn't matched, I felt they'd push those guys first whether they were a fit or not. Don't waste your money! read more

Horrible experience! Was willing to take a big risk and try out and after spending WAY TO MUCH Money - I was set up on dates with men that were not only not my type, but men I would never ever consider. The men were nice enough, but not what I was looking for in any way - which was a huge problem because wasnt I paying these people A LOT of money to set me up with men I was a match for? After complaining I was refused a refund and told I could put my account on hold -- Ive never heard from them since. $2000 down the drain. I am MODIFIED that I spent this kind of money on such a Scam. read more

I should have checked this site before I spent my money. The entire process was not only disappointing but demeaning. I only went on 6 or 7 dates. I don't remember how many since they were all pretty much the same. Needless to say, it was a very expensive lesson and definitely not worth the money or effort. From the beginning it seemed like they did not listen to what I requested. I asked for three things. Diversity, same age or very close to it, and same or similar socio economic status. I filled out a preference sheet and wasn't available when they called me to talk about it. I called back but No one ever followed up, as was evident by their "matches". Every single date was of the same ethnic group , most were at least 5 years older and the last two dates were so disheartening that I felt sick. One had a mullet and the last straw lived with his father because he said he couldn't afford to live on his own. When I confronted IJL about the mullet man, their response was "oh, so you are saying you want a more clean cut man". Are you freaking kidding me??? DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! THEY ARE TERRIBLE!!!! read more

I just spoke with Ally and boy what a sales pitch. Buyer beware. In reading all these reviews, I wonder why she wanted $4600 for six months. And that was the low-end of the scale. The worst part is they don't even bother to interview you face-to-face. They send you one first date and then have a debriefing afterwards. I can't even begin to tell you how much of a scam this seems to be and I'm so glad and grateful for all these reviews that confirmed my gut feeling and talking to these used car sales people. read more

Not sure why the local team would be surprised since midway I sent a business letter to the Midwest regional management team itemizing my concerns regarding this "dating service?" All points had been verbally reviewed previously with local management. It is not the fault of the men that the criteria (especially around sports) were not met, but either the lack of proper screening or viable candidates with these qualifications. One out of all the dates was a truly active golfer and I do not consider "haven't picked up a club in 3 years" to be active. Am surprised I believed the marketing hype and paid a sizeable sum for this privilege. Don't let your heart lead your head on making the same mistake. I am passing the word to my single friends in Denver, Manhattan, Texas, Chicago, Seattle et. al. to beware of this "business proposition?" read more

I confess i only gave these women 3 chances to set me up. However those 3 chances were so off the mark i could not imagine doing it again. I am pretty sure they just throw paint at a wall and hope something sticks. I could go on and on about how i think they could do better but it is not worth my time. I just posted this to say to any 30 something men out there to save your money and time it is not worth it! Fallon read more

Don't waste your money with this Denver based dating group! They claim to be first date experts but I found that is not really the case. Totally agree with Lisa S's experiences and feedback. They are not experts in scheduling and feel no pressure to go beyond their "one date a month" contract. If you have the $500 - $600 to spend for a first date then maybe these girls are for you! Debbie B read more

AVOID AVOID AVOID These people are extremely well trained on the high pressure sales pitch. They will hound you and hound you and promise you and promise you... right up until they get your money. Like the previous reviewer - they promised me the exact same thing... "We have tons of people available and can set you up with as many dates as you have time for" but as soon as they got my money - they vanaished like houdini. Correction - they initially put me on two dates - where the men were completely a major down grade for what I am used to. When I gave them specific examples of how these men were exactly what I told them I was NOT looking for - suddenly they had nothing left for me. Then of course - the PRE signing of the contract is all about how busy they can keep you - and the POST signing of the contract - they only quote the ONE A MONTH in the fine print. $1200 for three months and really aweful dates. Seriously? WOW! Oh - and a professional matchmaking service? They have never even met me. They don't even know me. They have made zero efforts to schedule and appointment. They don't really care what kind of persona I am. What does that have to do with Match-Making? They already have my money. Matching me is not the goal. Getting paid is. Stupidist thing I ever fell victim to read more

This dating service is a scam! I blame only myself because i did not look at reviews before joining. Reading comments now confirms my experience. The following are just a few problems: 1. They did not listen to me during the interview, or if they did, it did not matter because they proceeded to ignore all the things i said were important about matches. 2. They blatantly lied about how many dates there would be. They said, "As many as you have time for! We are experts in scheduling so if you have the time we have the dates for you!" Of course it is my fault because i failed to read the fine print in the contract which says there will be a minimum of one date per month (which is exactly what they offered). 3. They ask for feedback and then continue to ignore it! When i mentioned that my dates were not matched in terms of politics or religion, i was told "Oh we do not recommend talking about this on the first date..." Seriously? 4. Also in the fine print is you need 6 weeks notice to cancel or they will keep charging your card. Fortunately i saw this in someone else's negative review in just the nick of time to cancel without extra penalty. 5. All the guys i met had the same complaints: IJL doesn't listen, matches them with inappropriate people, obviously has more men than women in the 40s age range because they heard the same complaints from all their dates that the women only had one per month whereas men really could go on lots of dates! I was initially scared to try internet dating which is why the idea of a personal matchmaker seemed so appealing. I was really ready to meet someone though and 1 (bad) date a month was ridiculous so after the first month i got on some websites and before my contract was up with IJL i had met lots of great guys online. Different sites might work for different people but i was on match, eharmony, POF, and OKcupid and got consistently great contacts on OKcupid so wanted to recommend that to anyone reading this. Save your money and go online (OKCupid is free too!). When i think of the amazing amount of money i wasted on IJL i was mad at myself but realize its just my "stupidity fee" for not looking into their reputation first! read more

DO NOT SIGN UP!!! They will set you up with whomever is handy! They do not listen to what you are looking for. I can't tell you how many times I went out to lunch only to meet people that were not anything like I told them I was looking for... I spent a lot of money because this service is supposed to be personalized and it is so far from that. read more

This service is no better than any of the other dating services on line or matchmakers. The problem with this one is that they charge you a lot of money for really bad dates. They say you can go on hold but you can't really as your dating time keeps ticking away and when you are ready to go back out there and your time is up they will give you a discount to pay yet another $2400.00 to go on another round of very bad dates. They don't listen to you and/or to what your likes and dislikes are. The dates I went on weren't even close to similar. Oh well, check this one off the list. Happy dating somewhere else! read more

I still have a knot in my stomach on the money I spent on this. I had a list of 'must haves', two were: must like dogs and the other was that they needed to be fit. I also wanted a guy who was passionate about something in his life. But I never dated a guy that was fit and the last guy I dated did not like dogs and was extremely uncomfortable around dogs and was panting after the first 5 minutes on a hike. None of the guys felt any passion about anything in their lives. When I asked one guy about what he was passionate about he just looked at me with a blank face and said 'I just want to make money'. I also had upgraded to the Elite Private search where they would go out into the community to find a guy that fit what you were looking for. I am amazed that they could search for guys that were so opposite to what I was looking for. I almost got the feeling that they just went through linkedin. One description was a cut and paste from his linkedin page. My only point is they do not listen or even make an effort to match you with a guy that you described as someone you would like to have lunch with. I went through the initial interview which was very good but that person left soon after and I was stuck with someone who was very nice but just had no idea what a good match was. I would send emails reiterating the kind of guy I was looking for. I asked her if she had my original interview with my 'must haves' she said she did. If you just want a guy who has a job who has had a background check on him(I am assuming), then this is the service for you. But if you are looking for someone that at the very least satisfies your 'must have' list then don't bother. It is truly not worth the money. I was really looking forward to meeting guys that I found interesting and found me interesting and I know that is a very individual feeling, but they did not even come close. Response to Hope R I am pretty sure you are thinking of a different client because I never said they were 'fit and attractive' because 'attractive' was never important to me. I find attractive subjective and over rated. The only comment that I made with every date was that they were nice which was true. read more

I wish I could give It's just lunch a good review. Their concept is spot on for someone like me. If you ever tried the http://match.com thing, it just takes too much time sifting through the million faces and all the unfavorable prospects. Considering the price you have to pay for membership at IJL ($1200 for six month minimum, it gets more expensive if you're older) you think you'd get better service. The people they matched me with were alright. They were all courteous and sometimes people just don't click. I understand that. BUT the thing that really upset me about IJL is that: -They call and call and call until you sign up with them, forcing you to fork over your money -When they mean a minimum of one date a month, that is all they give you. NOTHING MORE. -Sometimes to fulfill the one date a month minimum, they will throw someone at you that completely deviates from what you told them you are looking for in a date. -the restaurants they partner with are located only in Denver. That means residents outside of Denver have to drive pretty far to meet their dates. (this gets tedious after a while) -some of their participating restaurants don't split the check as they say their partner restaurants do. I am a young female, in my 20s. I am well off, ensuring that I have a steady career and am financially independent. I am kind and courteous. And I don't have a problem finding a guy when I go out, if I feel like it. I just don't like the caliber of people I do find when I go out. I was hoping IJL would help me with this, or at least give me hope that there are some decent guys that meet certain standards out there. Either way, I'm back on match. I cancelled my subscription with IJL and I am MUCH happier. DON"T SIGN UP WITH IJL!! read more

A monumental waste of time and money! Personable salespeople make all sorts of oral promises of many, many introductions to exciting people. I bit. 6 months later, my membership fee averaged $180 per introduction of which only one was remotely interesting. Did I complain? You bet I did. Clearly and consistently. Their response? Pay no attention to what the very nice salespeople promised you, we are only required to make one introduction a month (a real value at $320), and stick with the membership because things get better. Sure, for IJL's bottom line! Don't waste your time or your money. read more

I'm not even sure where to begin here. This has to be the worst dating decision I ever made, not to mention financially I'm out $3000+ . I was so excited after taking to Abby and Erica to get into this program but the blew smoke straight up my ass. The only thing that was a positive was that they were very accommodating to my crazy work schedule. I really have no other positives. I laid out my "deal breakers" off the bad. Simple things. Religion, kids, no living with parents. I had ONE match in the year and a half that matched these three things. Looks didn't matter to me, these did. I made that clear and even after re iterating these to Abby about half way through the matches didn't change. I had some of the WORST dates of my life through this company. So bad a waiter walked me to my car after one because even he was concerned. Don't waste your money. This place is a joke. I don't think they care to match you with compatible people. They want numbers. I am having better luck with match.com. Joining this company was the worst choice I have made in my life to date. read more

What a waste of money. I wish I would have read reviews before I joined. Regret it big time. 2400 for 6 months. There are wayyyy more women then men in their system. The men you go out with tell you they go out once or twice a week, but woman about once a month. They clearly don't care at all about what you specify you want. I heard this about the dates I dated to. They complained of same thing. If you don't take who they set you up with .. due to they don't sound attractive to you then they count that as a date. You are only guaranteed 6 dates and I didn't even get that because one person they tried to set me up with clearly didn't even meet my initially requirements. I had much better luck with on line dating. Don't do it! read more

Professionalism and expertise are the two things Its Just Lunch promotes in their advertising and when you inquire about the service. On both accounts they severely under performed even the basic expectations they claim to provide. I spoke with Julie, the head matchmaker, several times before I signed up. She seemed very interested in who I was and who I was looking for in a match. Unfortunately, this was one of only TWO times in a six month period we spoke. The second was only after I demanded to meet the "team" after a date that couldn't have been further from what I was looking for three months in. After Julie and I reset our expectations I requested she personally call me once a month to check in and give me updates. She looked me in the eye and asked, "what would we talk about?" and "If I have to call all my clients I can't go out to find you a match." It takes 30 seconds to leave a voice mail and let me know that I didn't just pay $1,300 an hour for a two hour consultation. I expressed to my internal contact twice at the end of my agreement my displeasure with the situation. After the second time Julie left me a voice mail which I returned letting her know I was going to be out of town over the holiday weekend and would greatly appreciate her following up the following week...Needless to say this never happened. The claim of being "experts" is a wildly inaccurate assertion. The infinite monkey theorem has a better chance of occurring than them setting up a perfect date. I understand its not exact science, but don't promise me you have a whole pool of matches that are exactly what I am looking for then go 8 dates without being anywhere close. I asked for an age range of roughly 6 years. Of the 10 dates I went on only one was in that range. There is ZERO transparency with the process and absolutely NO accountability. The service is a joke. Please save your time, money, frustration, and dignity. read more

I have to say I read a lot of the reviews before joining so I was skeptical. I took a risk in joining and I am glad I did. I have been on some really great dates and met a lot of interesting people. I told myself going into this process that I was going to be open minded to the process and it's paid off. I think the experience is what you make of it! read more

I joined last year and paid a lot of money for what was promised--professional, compatible men in my age range (50s). It was a very bad experience and the biggest waste of money in my life. The matches had nothing in common with me except they were male and over 50. They were not professionals; two seemed socially maladjusted, one was presented to me as working in a profession and it was totally untrue. It was a waste of time and money. I began to dread each time they set up a meeting. They also set up a meeting for a restaurant that was shut down, yet they said they had made a reservation. They advertise so heavily ion the radio and I feel compelled to warn others to not throw their money away. read more

This is absolutely a scam! Do not sign their contract, which is so favorable to thin it's unreal. I'm told over and over they have someone for me, but their schedule is really busy and can't get back to me. Makes sense right, someone is willing to pay 4K on the other end, but can't find time??? During the initial conversation they stated they just had a huge networking event and already had a ton of ideal matches for me, which now I realized is false. The whole point of this is to get you to sign up, drag you around for awhile, maybe provide one date, which now I believe will be somewhat of a secret shopper, and then tell you to re-up for another 6 months at 4K. This is nothing but extortion and a giant scam. They target an older crowd, that maybe more vulnerable and know that they will pay in hopes of finding that special someone, when they really don't even have a network. Look at where they advertise? Bloomberg, CNN, classic rock radio stations, all targeted at taking advantage of someone that is looking for love. If I anyone asks or says anything about this service, I will be the first to call them out and tell them to run. Stay far away. read more

I had spent a year trying to do the online dating thing and never met anyone so the concept of being matched and actually meeting men was very appealing. I was very optimistic. I had to swallow hard when I was told the membership was $3300 for 6 months....but I would be meeting men, right? I was never given an expectation of 1 date a month so after 2 months and I'd only me 2 guys, I called and complained saying that for the amount of money I paid I should be getting one date a week. I was told that was an unrealistic expectation. In addition, they wanted half down when I started and they said I could pay the other half in 30 days, there were no conditions stated. After my first date when I had my face to face meeting, I was told that they wouldn't match me with anyone else until I had paid the other half. Most of the men were ok but they matched me with a VERY old 63 year old. I was a very vibrant 53 year old woman at that time and let them know in no uncertain terms would I never be interested in someone like that. I had 3 more matches, 2 of which had potential but neither worked out. So I met a total of 7 men for $3300- almost $500 a date. In addition, in talking to the guys, they were charged MUCH less than I was- around $2200 for 6 months or $3500 for a year. I was furious. I waited until the end of my membership and told them that I thought they owed me several months free since I was charged so much. I was told "well your membership included the dating book and a feedback phone call." I said "and that is worth $1000?" I also stated that I wasn't given any other membership options- it was $3300 for 6 months. All I got were excuses and I didn't get any additional time. Bottom line....don't waste your money. read more

Hello fellow daters, please be cautious about investing with IJL, Denver. The company works tirelessly to take your money and does not produce much for it. The matches are at random, so are the locations to meet - I was bullied into two memberships, the second being based on how different it would be than the first one. I genuinely want to find a connection and this is not the avenue for that. After two failed memberships and countless conversations with staff regarding the false advertisement of people in the database, I just hope no one else spends the money and time, to likely be disappointed. If you do decide, make sure to get very detailed explicit explanations of the matches, and say "no" if you aren't interested. However, they consider speaking with you about a match an "introduction" which would meet the monthly requirement. So all they have to do is call and give you some dribble about a person, you do not need to meet them for it to be considered a "match". The database of men in the Denver metro area is very low. Good luck and be wise. read more

I am severely disappointed at my experience with this Organization. I did not expect such an unreasonable approach to their refund policy and lack of understanding and compassion. I suffered a loss in my family within the first week of joining. A loss that affected my ability to move forward with their services due to family and business obligations. The Staff was unwilling to refund any portion of my membership costs, despite the fact that only 3 hours were spent on my file and a first date never occurred. This was the most expensive 3 hours I have experienced for services not rendered. I urge anyone that is considering hiring this Organization, to do so with extreme caution and understanding that their financial bottom line is of the utmost importance, and not the Clients well being. Their Character, or lack there of, speaks volumes in their approach to such a sensitive situation. I am a Business Owner, as well as an Equity Partner in several other Businesses. It is clear that our values and approach to Client satisfaction are not in alignment. Such a shame. read more
