Our Success

It’s Just Lunch is a fun, proactive approach to your personal life. As first date specialists, we arrange fun lunch dates and drinks after work for busy professionals. We began in a tiny office in Chicago in 1991 and have grown to over 100 offices worldwide. In summer 2004, we opened our first international locations in Singapore and Toronto. Many of our first dates lead to 2nd dates and our matchmaking is responsible for thousands of marriages. We have arranged over 2 million fun first dates in our 17 years. Each month we arrange 50,000 dates for our 30,000 members worldwide----and growing by thousands each month!—that’s a lot of lunch dates!

A Chicago woman founded It’s Just Lunch over 17 years ago after her engagement was suddenly called off. She attended her first IJL wedding after the company had been in business for just 5 months. Since then, The IJL Team has been responsible for many weddings and she still gets goose bumps when she hears about another engagement!

San Antonio is constantly growing and as the eighth largest city in the United States, there is no one place that everyone goes to meet people. That’s why we are so popular. Our clients come to us to meet other busy professional singles in the San Antonio area. We are able to introduce our clients to people they would potentially not meet on their own. Another reason we are so popular is because we have a high success rate. Most of our first dates lead to second dates.

One of our favorite and most recent successful stories is about Rob and Lisa. Lisa was tied of going to bars, clubs and having friends set her up. When she came in, we immediately knew who we were going to set her up with. Their first date lasted three hours and both of them went on hold immediately after that date. Now they are happily married. Just one of our many success stories!
