Maybe it’s time to outsource… your dating life

and busy professionals often wonder who to turn to for advice. We sat down with It’s Just Lunch dating expert PJ Osgood to discuss the diffi culties of dating for singles on the go. Here’s some of the savvy advice she gives to her clients.

“Great guys and women don’t circle around your block waiting for you to come out of your house. You’ve got to market yourself.”

Why is dating so challenging these days for career-focused singles?

Let’s face it—dating is challenging for everyone! Throw a demanding professional or family life into the mix, and you can understand why someone hires IJL. Dating feels diffi cult because time is valuable, and it isn’t easy to effi ciently manage a fruitful dating life. With our help, clients go out on dates with someone who already meets their essential requirements. That way, the only thing left to be determined is the chemistry. What type of person uses It’s Just Lunch?

Clients come to me because the process of finding someone on their own can be overwhelming. Meeting people through family, friends, or online requires a lot of time and often doesn’t deliver results. Instead, they join IJL because they are ready to be proactive and want to take a professional approach to fi nding their perfect match. So, that’s why they come to IJL? To meet their match?

Absolutely! Our clients come to IJL because they have reached a point where they want to fi nd someone special. They hire us as results-driven dating specialists. People hire professionals to handle so many aspects of their lives, so why not use a professional to help you fi nd someone special? We are matchmaking professionals —this is what we do day in and day out. We take a personal approach and remain objective. A successful love life for our clients is our goal. What really differentiates IJL from the other dating options out there?

My clients look to me as their personal dating headhunter. At IJL, we meet with our clients face to face and identify the key characteristics they are looking for in a match. We learn what has and hasn’t worked for them in the past and put a positive plan in place. Then we introduce them to other like-minded singles in a casual, lowpressure fi rst date setting where they can truly be themselves. Because in the end, it’s just lunch!

IT’S JUST LUNCH has professional dating specialists just like PJ all around the world. Call us and discover how we can help you create a more rewarding dating life today.
