I met with the Its Just Lunch sales rep girl. She was NOT what I expected. The squeaky voice, incessant positive acknowledgment and affirmation that frequently didn't make sense....I didn't expect to like her. But she was older than I thought. She sounded 22, but she was mid-30s. So we talked for almost 3 hours. All about me, what I want, what I like, what I'm looking for...so how could I not enjoy the conversation. I want to get you started. You don't have to worry about signing the contract because there's no commitment. You sign the contract, we get you started, and you can still cancel. Turns out they have a 3 business day cancellation policy. I could sign, then decide by Tues that I changed my mind, full refund. But, you know me (or maybe you don't) but I can't commit to that much money, even if it's an investment in "me" without really thinking about it. Well, she understood, did her best not to let me go, but respected my process. I didn't say no, I just need to really think about this. So, she said she'd call tomorrow. She called when she said she would, but I didn't answer. Partly I'm avoiding her..still haven't made up my mind. But also have been nonstop busy.
I woke up the next day, thinking I should do this. What is $1700? I hardly spend money on things so why not on this? Here's the interesting thing.....as I see it.... I really liked her. I believed her when she said she believes in her company. She believes "I'm ready". She believes they have the right men for me out there. I truly believe her, am I falling for the hard sale? BUT...this here is interesting and I can't myself figure out... the "I have two men, I'm already thinking about for you...let met tell you ...(and she proceeded to tell me about them.)" No interest in them. They sounded boring. She didn't get it, get me. I told her so.
Anyhow, I owe her a return call. I feel bad for ignoring her call to me. I still need the weekend/time to think it through. So far, it's been 2 days, I'm still considering it. I think its what I need. Sure it's pricey, but what else am I going to do with the money?

maybe consider how many guys they have enrolled? if the pool of guys is limited then maybe you should really wonder if you can find a match in a small pool of men...but maybe the southern cal area have more men willing to spend money to find the gal of their dreams. good luck with the decision making on this -mspetite
since the first 2 guys didn't interest you, can you get her to identify other guys in the program? because if those are the guys you can find on the other dating sites you've used without paying the hefty fee, it might not be worth it. good luck with everything! i know there is a great guy out there just waiting to find his perfect someone... you!
I am not sure if the SoCal market would have that many guys willing to pay so much for dating service. NorCal maybe. My recent online dating has me realized that dating service takes away the best matches because those people are out there being active. You need to call every single person you know to give you two to three single guys to contact. Nothing beats your own network. Hugs!
I agree. Ask for the stats. In terms of how to spend the money..well..it depends..most important..spend it the way you want it..not bc they reeled you in from the hard sell...what about a vacation for singles?
