BREAKING UP WITH ONLINE DATING

TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE DATING MORE COMPLICATED & IMPERSONAL. HIRING A MATCHMAKER MIGHT BE THE ANSWER...

At first, Larry Chiarelli, director at a tech start up, thought he was doing all he needed. Sign up on multiple dating websites. Meet lots of women. Eventually, the right one would come along – except she never did. So he decided to bring in the professionals and hired It’s Just Lunch. It’s Just Lunch’s matchmakers got to know him and his preferences. They selected his dates, arranged schedules, and even made the restaurant reservations. Dating became stress-free and fun. Larry was a practical guy and didn’t believe in love-at-first-sight… until IJL introduced him to Ping.

Dating life before joining It’s Just Lunch?

Lawrence: Chaotic! I was meetinga lot of women but not theright women for me. Online datingwas time-consuming andstressful. I needed someone torelieve me of the dating busywork so I could get some breathingroom. I needed to slow thingsdown to speed them up. It’s JustLunch fit that criteria perfectly.

Why join It’s Just Lunch?

Ping: I fly frequently for both work and fun. When I saw It’s Just Lunch in the airline magazine,it was as if the matchmaker was talking to me! One day after a particularly long flight and wanting to snuggle with someone and watch a movie, I decided it couldn’t hurt to give it a try.

Most enjoyable part of the It’s Just Lunch process?

L: Having someone doing all the work to select and schedule a date. It was like I had my own personal dating concierge to take care of all the details. All I had to do was be on time for my date and be myself. It really was a stress-free experience.

What was it like working with the It’s Just Lunch matchmakers?

L: Easy and convenient. Thecompany I was working for wasgoing through a merger so I wasaway from home quite a bit. I’dfinish my day and there would bea message from my matchmakertelling me about my next match.

I’d call back, get the details andrun through my availability. Thenext thing I knew I was in frontof an interesting woman havinga great conversation.

Do you have any advice for singles who want to meet that special someone?

L: I tell my clients an analogy allthe time: Would you rather driveacross the country in a ToyotaCorolla or a BMW 5 series? Theyalways say the 5 series. You getwhat you pay for. Investing inyourself and your future withsomeone special means investingin the right matchmakingservice. For me that was It’s JustLunch.
