with in cyberspace is nothing like what
you imagined.” Replace those digital
emoticons with a no pressure, casual
lunch date and you’ll know immediately
if you should take it to the next level.

Get a Wingman
(or Wingwoman)
It’s Just Lunch’s clients often refer to
their matchmakers as their “dating
wingmen” (or wingwomen) because
they handle all of the dating logistics.
Herington describes her role, saying, “We’re genuinely interested in
understanding our clients. We listen.
We really get to know your personality and what you’re looking for in that
significant other.” Every IJL match
is hand-selected. There’s no online
profile for the world to see and it’s all
confidential. After the date, It’s Just
Lunch matchmakers receive feedback
from each client in order to fine-tune
their next match. “We offer something
online services don’t: someone to talk
to,” Herington says. Imagine having a
full-time dating wingwoman who really
understands you, working for you while
you’re focusing on your career and
personal obligations.
“It’s Just Lunch heLps
you make tIme for the
thIngs that matter...”

Boost Your Dating ROI
Who wants to spend hours sifting
through online profiles and trying to
connect via email, pokes and winks?
You don’t have time to waste playing
digital guessing games and meeting the
wrong people. When you’re investing
your time and energy in something
important, you deserve a strong return.
With IJL’s personalized match selection
and date coordination, clients are able
to save valuable time and energy. “After
we select your match, we’ll describe the
person to you and confirm a convenient
time and place for you to meet. All
you have to do is show up and have fun
meeting someone new,” Herington says.
Less time searching equals more time
dating. That’s realized ROI.

Date Smarter
Herington reminds singles who
contact her that they can have a career
and a relationship. They just have to
“date smarter.” “If finding someone to
share your life with is important to you,
you can make time and have it all,” she
says. “If you don’t have time to do your
taxes, you hire a CPA. If you don’t have
time to manage your investments, you
hire a financial planner. It’s Just Lunch
helps you make time for the things that
matter. IJL helps you date smarter.”
Since It’s Just Lunch matchmakers take
care of all the matching and logistics,
you can focus on finding that elusive
chemistry in the offline world. IJL is a
better, smarter way to date and increase
your odds of finding that someone
special.
