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!

The Orlando Metro area is growing so much that means there is no one place that everyone goes to meet people. That's one of the reasons we are so popular. Our clients come to us because they are busy professionals and want to meet other singles in their 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. Many of our first dates lead to second dates.
