    For context, I'm a 35-year-old woman, and I wanted to wait until I had completed my experience with…read moreIt's Just Lunch before leaving a review. I ultimately chose to cancel my membership. During my membership, I went on three total dates through the service: two in Minnesota and one in Denver. I'm giving two stars because, contractually, IJL did provide the service I signed up for. I received introductions, went on dates, and had communication with my matchmaker. However, there is a big difference between technically providing a matchmaking service and providing a high-quality, personalized matchmaking experience. For the amount of money I invested, I expected much more from the latter. The initial consultation was actually the strongest part of my experience. It was discovery-focused. I was asked thoughtful questions about who I am, what I value, and what I'm looking for in a partner. That conversation was part of what gave me confidence to sign up. Unfortunately, I did not feel that same level of curiosity continued after becoming a client. The experience became much more sales-oriented than discovery-oriented. I frequently felt talked at rather than asked questions. Instead of conversations being centered around "What are we learning about you from these dates?" or "Why has this become important to you?", I often felt like information was being presented to me and I was being encouraged to reconsider preferences I had already communicated. My final conversation with Natalie really crystallized the issue for me. After I declined several proposed matches, we discussed why. I explained that through the dating process I had realized consistent physical fitness was an important lifestyle compatibility requirement for me. Rather than feeling like there was curiosity around why that had become important, I felt like I was being challenged and persuaded to broaden the definition of what I should accept. At one point during that conversation, I directly communicated that the interaction was beginning to feel aggressive to me and that I felt like I was being attacked for saying no. I needed to stop for a moment and breathe before continuing the conversation. I work in sales myself, so I understand persuasion, objection handling, and challenging assumptions. Those skills have their place. But I wasn't looking for a dating coach or someone to overcome my objections. I was paying for a matchmaker. I wanted someone who was curious, reflective, collaborative, and interested in deeply understanding my values before suggesting alternatives. A matchmaker should certainly challenge a client occasionally, but I believe understanding needs to come before persuasion. As a client goes on dates and learns more about what does and doesn't work for them, that feedback should be valuable information that makes subsequent matches more intentional. This was especially important for me because I was not living locally in Minneapolis. Two of my introductions were in Minnesota and one was arranged while I was traveling in Denver. Participating in the service required substantial travel, scheduling, and expense on my end, so I needed to be intentional about which introductions I accepted. Ultimately, I realized I was putting far more time and emotional energy into trying to make the matchmaking process work than I wanted to. When I decided to cancel, the company offered to put my membership on hold until I moved back to Minnesota. I declined and asked to proceed with cancellation. To their credit, that conversation was handled professionally and my cancellation request was processed without an issue. I don't believe this service will necessarily be a poor fit for everyone. Someone who wants more coaching or appreciates being encouraged to broaden their dating criteria may have a very different experience. For me, however, a premium personalized matchmaking service should be exceptionally good at listening, asking questions, understanding compatibility, and continually learning about the client through each introduction. My experience felt much more sales-heavy than I expected, and ultimately the quality of the matchmaking and communication did not justify the investment for me.

    Let me tell you people looking for a high quality match-making service....it doesn't get any better…read morethan this. I can sum up my 5 Star rating in three points: 1. High quality/high touch: Meshwerx is not just a "database" full of single people. It is a starting point to be able to find a great connection using face to face interviews and screenings with others. It's not a computer algorithm telling me who I should or should not be paired up with. They will hold your hand as much as you would like them to through the whole process. It is designed to take the headache out of searching for the "right one" which you know as well as I do....I go through a lot of Advil.... 2. They treat you with respect: These are PROFESSIONALS. Again, not a computer or cyberspace behind the company that is trying to set you up. These are real people doing a real job. 3. It's FREE!! Well, kind of. I signed up to be part of their FREE program which lets you join their system. That way, I can be introduced to a paying client of theirs if the right fit presents itself. I had a couple of introductions that they called me for which was great! Because of #s 1 and above, I decided to pay for their Validate service which was really affordable with great value added benefits. Honestly, if you are looking for randomness and one night stands, go to eHarmony or Match.com. If you are looking for a customizable no BS experience, go to Meshwerx! ~No longer single in Mpls, MN!

    I heard about this place because a friend of mine has a reletive that works there. I sent in my…read moreinitial email via their website. Immediately I received an automated email that I would hear from them shortly to set up my initial interview. A MONTH later they finally emailed me (keep in mind that after 2 weeks my friend commented to her relative that I hadn' theard back in 2 weeks and there was no sense of concern or urgency which also irritated my friend). At this point I was a little disenchanted, but felt I would try it out so set up a time. I never heard anything back, confirming appt or anything. 3 days before the appointment something came up and I did need to reschedule so I sent an email to them asking if we could reschedule. It has been 4 business days now and still I have heard nothing so I am giving up on this company. Which is too bad given I have other single friends that wanted to see how this went and if well would have signed up also.
