Three months, zero dates. I was presented with quite a few toads, but decided to keep an open mind and say yes to all. No luck. Something is wrong here. Last week, I finally decided to join 3 dating websites, for the first time, and was deluged with compliments and offers to meet. MUCH better luck on a dating website. $3,400 wasted.

Kenia is a great help in getting quality dates. She was involved and listened to my needs. Since she became my matchmaker my experience has been very enjoyable. I finally am dating the people I have wanted to in the Southern California area.

IJL is a terrible service I wish I never purchased. That being said, Tamia is truly working to fix my experience. She is my 3rd matchmaker after the first disappeared. She is very responsive.
I give IJL 1 star.

I have to put a lot of effort to get a 3rd date rescheduled
In 5 months I've only had 3 matches out of 12
Eva K lied, and I cannot get out of the contract after the 3rd date if the service is not working for me

They will tell you whatever you want to hear to get you to sign up. Then thousands of dollars later when their guarantee has not been met, and you dare to complain, you will finally receive a phone call from a very condescending "manager" who will tell you how wonderful she AND her company are and maybe you should have read the fine print. Followed by, there is nothing we can do for you and have a nice day. Goodbye. If there were a way to take legal recourse I would; however, this "company" knows that after they take your money there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Save your money!
Length of Use: 2+ years
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Lynda, we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your experience dating with IJL. Our VP of Matchmaking did contact you to address your concerns and explain the membership in detail, and we regret to hear you are still not satisfied. We wish you all the best in your dating journey.

Kenia has sent me out on one good date. I'm brand new at this but I have to say that IJL delivered as advertised on that first date. It was fun, well planned, excellent venue, my date insisted on paying for 1/2 and that impressed me. Just like the company said. I hope to see this excellent, classy lady again next week.
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
My date was high quality and compatible.
Kenia had a good feel for what I was looking for.
So far so good.
The follow-up was lacking. I waited six days then finally reached out myself.
I'd like to have more of a selection sooner.

Will D, matchmaker extraordinaire at IJL, smoothly handles the details of where and when to meet your dates. He takes on the logistics so you don't have to.
IJL ensures that the choice to go on a date with a particular someone is mutual. This provides a certainty that introducing yourself on your own does not.
Will D sets up the dates with confidence and enthusiasm, and designates a place for you to meet up with someone who will just be there to meet up with you.
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
