“Coming out of a long term marriage and not sure how to re-enter the dating scene, I found the professional but fun approach of IJL! Seattle very comforting. I went into the year thinking I would re-learn how to date and if nothing else, meet a fun group of new people. Low and behold I met my future husband instead! Jeff and I had so much in common right off the bat that being together seemed natural. Our friends blend wonderfully too and our wedding reception felt like a high school reunion. The ladies at IJL made dating less stressful than when I was in my twenties! I recommend them to all my single friends. It’s never too late to have a happy ending!”
–Jeff and Cheryl

“I joined IJL Seattle…after struggling to meet “quality” men with my busy schedule as a career woman. I never imagined that I would have met my future husband! My husband and I have been married for 3 years now and we are expecting our first child! I truly believe that I would have never met my husband if it had not been for IJL & and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks IJL!”

“Left to chance and circumstance…or your friend’s second cousins hairdresser…, the meeting and dating scene can be a frustrating place. So I thought until I found It’s Just Lunch! Seattle. There are those what-was-my-friend-thinking? blind dates and then there is the assurance of a seamlessly planned get-together at a nice restaurant with an intelligent, worldly, highly-motivated, and, most importantly, compatible date. IJL has consistently provided me the latter. The women I have met are all testaments to the quality individuals that IJL attracts. Added to that, the coordinators are energetic and enthusiastic and have made my experience a true pleasure. A big thank you to all the staff at IJL Seattle.”–Brett G.

“After many attempts to find my true soul mate through approaching women directly, introductions by friends and associates, and participation in two other dating services, I have concluded two things: as we get older finding that “truly right” person becomes more challenging, and It’s Just Lunch Seattle is simply and unquestionably the very best way to go about it. The entire IJL Seattle staff has always been exceedingly insightful, professional, accommodating, and pleasant, and every match they have made for me has had obvious and considerable merit, and I always feel each new match carries the promise of lives lived “happily ever after.”–Tim R.

“Two years ago I met Keith, my seventh It’s Just Lunch date. Last year we were married and on July 17th we welcomed a beautiful baby girl and are so grateful to you for introducing us.

“After years of dating through friends and acquaintances in which numerous hours were spent unsuccessfully trying to find someone compatible and that had some of the same interests in life as I did, I decided to turn to It’s Just Lunch Seattle. The staff was not only very professional but they actually did care about my well being when it came to matching me. I still remember the phone call that I received that “special” day telling me, ‘Brian, I believe I have found the perfect match for you’ and then proceeded to tell me about Linda. We met for what was supposed to be a casual one hour lunch and left there 4 hours later! From that day on Linda and I have never looked back; we are now engaged with our wedding date scheduled for April of 2010. IJL! was right when they said they had the perfect match for me which in turn will now be my partner in life. Linda and I both want to thank IJL Seattle for bringing us together.”
–Brian and Linda

“The staff at IJL! Seattle has been wonderful to me and works hard to make sure that I enjoy the experience. They take my feedback to heart and try to make sure they set me up with the best possible matches. With my busy schedule I like that they do all the work and I just have to show up. I am able to experience new restaurants while meeting quality professional singles. It has been a refreshing approach to dating and I have truly enjoyed the experience.”br> –Will S.

“Ray was busy traveling for work, so the idea of going to the bar when he returned home held little appeal. Having IJL! Seattle arrange the date made dating less stressful. For me, I was tired of dating guys who only wanted something casual. Both of us were ready for more. I almost didn’t take that first date because of a work commitment, but I’m so happy I did. Almost two years after that first date, we are engaged, and looking forward to starting our life together.”
–Ray and Erin

“I am a business owner and as someone with limited time to meet people, IJL! Seattle is perfect for me. The staff is enthusiastic and listens to my feedback to find a good match specifically for me. It is so nice to have the connections completely set up for you. It’s Just Lunch Seattle is allowing me the opportunity to meet the woman I have been waiting for!” To me IJL stands for I Just Love it. I would highly recommend their services and the staff at IJL Seattle who are extremely personal, professional and enthusiastic in meeting my needs. Thanks to IJL Seattle I have made many new friends and to them I am grateful.”–Doug K.

“I joined It’s Just Lunch Seattle after trying many avenues to meet high quality people. I used online dating sites, friends setting me up, and other methods with limited results. After contacting the staff at IJL, I thought that they might have a different approach. The staff is absolutely fantastic. They took the time to genuinely understand who I am and what I value. Because of the effort up front, my matches were very interesting and compatible people. While I enjoyed the process and they made it so easy, I didn’t have to wait very long to meet “The One”. Stephanie and I have been together ever since our first date and we are currently planning our marriage on April 17th, 2010. Thank you, It’s Just Lunch Seattle for allowing me the opportunity to meet the woman I have been waiting for!”
–Michael V. and Stephanie S.
