Just Lunch

In my effort to trying something new, I contacted Its Just Lunch. They advertise heavily in the airline, and other corporate type magazines. I've known of a couple people who have tried it, one with success, one without.

One year, 14 dates-$2200; 6 months, 8 dates-$1700. The number of dates is the minimum, there may be more depending. If you meet someone, you can hold your membership for up to a year.

I was told that they had 40 potential matches for a recent client (woman). There are 10,000 members (US wide). I would meet with her, and she sets up the first 2 dates. In the meantime, I work with the dating director. My guess is that the dating director has more experience, because she is new having been with them for 6 months only. Every member works with a dating director. She and the directors meet every morning to go over potential matches. They discuss members and matching all the time.

She wanted to set up the initial interview/meeting. She asked if I was available tomorrow. I said it was a busy week, what about Thurs. She said, she doesn't book out, meaning meetings can only be set for the next day. But, for me she'll make the exception and I have an appointment on Thurs.

I know the hard sell when I see it. Does it matter? Is it worth it?
