What To Expect
How does it work?
First, you schedule a discreet, confidential interview with us at our Orange County office, located at 18881 Von Karman, Suite 1260 in Newport Beach. This interview enables us to carefully discern what it is you look for in a potential partner. We talk about what has worked for you in the past (and what hasn’t) and what your interests are. Then, we match you with other Orange County It's Just Lunch clients.
How are clients matched?
We select a person for you based upon the information we discuss in the interview. Our clients are successful professionals that reside all over Orange County, from Dana Point to Newport Beach and even in Anaheim. We can match you with lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs and much more. Our staff members have years of experience and create matches based on personality and physical requirements. Our service isn’t about video or computer dating; it’s about an insightful, professional IJL staff member hand-selecting appropriate matches based upon your desires, goals, motivations and our instincts.
How is the date arranged?
Once we select a match for you, we contact you by phone to tell you about the Orange County single we have chosen. We respect your confidentiality and only give out your first name, never revealing your address, phone number or company name. We give you a concise description of your potential date and why we think this match is appropriate. Everything we know about you is taken into consideration for this process.
How and where do I meet my date?
The only work you need to do is to show up at the restaurant and enjoy the date. We handle every step. If your schedule makes meeting for lunch difficult, we can arrange for a drink after work. Our goals are that the match is well-suited and the time and place are convenient for both of you. We schedule dates at some of the best restaurants in Orange County, including Rouge Bistro and Bar in Newport Beach, The Clubhouse in Costa Mesa, Salt Creek Grille in Dana Point and many more. Our wonderful restaurant partners help us create an environment that makes getting to know the other person as natural (and fun!) as possible.
What happens next?
Actually, many of our first dates turn into second dates! At the end of the date, you can exchange business cards or phone numbers and make plans to get together again. For second dates, many singles choose dinner at Ti Amo Ristorante in Laguna Beach, followed by coffee and desert at the Madison Square & Garden Cafe. Following each date, we ask that you call us with feedback. From your comments and overall impression of the person, we’ll fine tune your next match so that we can be even more precise in the future. The process couldn’t be easier
What’s your success rate?
Very high! Many of our first dates result in second dates. And, every week we’re informed of engagements and marriages of our Orange County clients. Popular wedding locations include the Oak Creek Golf Club in Irvine and the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel. So, you really have nothing to lose…except for your single life.
