Meeting people should be easy. After all, the world is full of them and they’re fairly evenly divided in terms of gender, height and so forth. But as a review of literature stretching back to cave drawings will tell you, meeting — and hanging onto — the right person isn’t all that easy. This is where dating services come in. They’re not perfect but they’re better than ordering brides by mail or submitting to your mother’s idea of who your perfect match is.
Describing itself as a “dating service for professionals,” It’s Just Lunch also uses a personal counselor approach, hoping to find just the right chemistry in each situation. With offices in major cities, it’s not restricted to a single geographic area. The reviews we’re received at ConsumerAffairs the last few years have been largely positive, like this one from Michael of North Carolina: “By and large I have been satisfied with the experiences gained from the group. The dates have all been delightful, professional women. I have enjoyed my experiences, and have made a connection with one of the women.”

The nights are getting darker earlier and our beds are getting colder. Gone are the days of beach flings and communal sunbathing, independent gallivanting and treating your hookups like relationship amuse-bouches. Ladies and gentleman, cuffing season is upon us. ‘Tis the time to find a boo to fall-back with this fall and warm you up this winter.
But falling in love, or even in like, isn’t always easy. Luckily, the world of Internet dating has micro-targeted us down to our cores. These niche dating sites prove–there’s someone out there for everyone.

Instead of waiting on fate to work its magic, Beau Garrett took matters into his own hands. He employed the art of matchmaking and hired It’s Just Lunch (IJL). It worked! Happily married for two years, Beau credits IJL for helping him find his best friend, soul mate, and fellow skier, Jesalyn.
Why did you join IJL?
I’d gone through a divorce in 2009, and I lived in a really happenin’ area of Minneapolis called Uptown. Even though I was having a lot of fun, I knew I wasn’t going to meet somebody who I’d want to spend the rest of my life with in that kind of lifestyle. Going out to a bar scene was a crapshoot. Same thing goes for online dating. I dabbled in it, but all my experiences were negative. So I called It’s Just Lunch.

A new survey from It’s Just Lunch reveals The Big Game is not The Game Of Love.
Ladies, if you’ve been putting a lot of thought into your Super Bowl party outfit in hopes to impress a new guy, don’t waste your time!
A new survey from It’s Just Lunch, a dating service for busy professionals, talked to 1,400 singles and found that your Super Bowl party is not a good opportunity for new romance.
While the Big Game is a huge social event, filled with beer, food and fans, don’t expect to get your flirt on. Here’s why.
1. Men Want To Focus On The Game, Not Love
This is pretty predictable, but could easily be forgotten by people who aren’t that interested in the actual game. Even though you will find many men at the bars, parties, and other social events, you won’t find them being very social. In fact, 45 percent of men said the game will be the highlight of the night — versus women who are more excited about socializing. Save your best pickup line for next weekend.

The data showed that Asian women are the most preferred by all men except Asian men – who prefer Hispanic women.
Asian, Hispanic and Caucasian women prefer Caucasian men while Caucasian men are more likely to respond to everyone but Caucasian women.
Caucasian women are twice as likely to respond to Caucasian men than African-American men.
African-American men are more likely to respond to women of different races but receive three times more responses from African-American women than a non-black woman.
African-American women prefer all races over Caucasian men but are the least likely to get a response from all men.
Irene LaCota, spokesperson for matchmaking service Its Just Lunch backed up Fischer’s data. “We have seen a trend with younger men being more open to dating different ethnicities,” she said via email. “For example, young asian men are requesting to be matched with caucasian women.”
“For some singles ethnicity is extremely important and a deal breaker.” said LaCota. “Our matchmakers will encourage our clients to be open-minded and not paint such a ‘tight picture’ of who they want to date.”
LaCota did have some positive words of advice however. “ Chemistry trumps all when it comes to getting to the second date,“ she said.
It’s good to know – from a bona fide matchmaker – that no matter what your ethnicity, the connection is what really counts.
