Testimonial - Terra and Keith

Terra and Keith

I had the initial call [with It’s Just Lunch] and told my matchmaker, Mike, the qualities I was looking for. I wanted a partner that was kind, loving, driven, smart, supportive, good with kids and a Christian among other things. I also wanted someone that wanted to stay in Hawaii long term. I think the thing with dating apps is there was no way to search or ‘filter’ for most of those qualities. Mike told me it might take a few weeks, just depending on how long it took to find someone that had what I was looking for.

Two weeks later I got an email with my first match. It was Keith!

We had a good conversation, I remember he was easy to talk to and it went by too fast. Things moved pretty quickly by our fourth/fifth date and not too long after we became pretty much inseparable.

The last five months have been a special time as Keith and I have grown together and become a family of three with [my daughter]. It’s been a big change, but a really wonderful one. I couldn’t ask for a better partner. It’s easy, we are compatible and on the same page about life. I love him so much and I can fully be myself and so can he.

Justin and Megan

Justin and Megan

I tried all of the online sites, and had very little luck meeting someone I truly connected with. I was ready to find "the one", and was tired of dating women who were not ready to commit to a serious relationship, let alone marriage. The It's Just Lunch process was easy, and the dates were very well matched. I liked the scheduling aspect, and the restaurants were great. The women were very accomplished. On my first date with Megan, I immediately felt a connection, and wanted to continue seeing her.

I was very busy with work when I discovered IJL. While I was seeing different people I had never tried any matchmaking services. Online dating also seemed so time consuming so I was never willing to invest what little time I already had. I fly frequently for work and for fun, and I see IJL in the airline magazines each time, it was as if the company was talking to me! One day after a particularly long flight and wanting to snuggle with someone and watch a movie, I decided it couldn't hurt to give it a try.

I really enjoyed the stress-free experience. I had a professional matchmaker to select candidates and set up restaurant reservations for me. All I needed to do was to show up and enjoy a meal. IJL’s matchmakers are professional, friendly, and listened patiently to my criteria and "deal-breakers". Larry and I met up for lunch and by the time lunch was over, it was dinner time. He was so cute and easy to talk to. IJL has brought someone into my life I may not have otherwise ever met. To be able to find that special someone feels so amazing.

It's Just Lunch was so easy and non-stressful. I gave my matchmaker the days that I was available and never had to worry about the logistics. I just wanted to meet high quality women. It was all done for me. What a godsend. I met great women and learned so much about myself in the process. When I finally met Ellen I hit the jackpot.
