Maybe it’s time to outsource… your dating life

Navigating today’s complex dating scene can be daunting, and busy professionals often wonder who to turn to for advice. We sat down with It’s Just Lunch dating expert Jacquie Brownridge to discuss the difficulties of dating for singles on the go. Here’s some of the savvy advice she gives to her clients.

Why is dating so challenging these days for career-focused singles? Dating is complicated, especially for busy professionals, but it’s not calculus. Throw a demanding professional or family life into the mix, and it simply comes down to timing and opportunity. Time is valuable and in short supply, but time is exactly what it takes to efficiently navigate today’s dating world. With our help, clients go out on dates with someone who already meets their essential requirements at a time that is convenient to them. That way, the only thing left to be determined is chemistry.

What type of person uses It’s Just Lunch? Clients come to me because they have decided to be proactive, and want a professional approach to finding a great match. And often because of the professional stature they have achieved, online dating is just inappropriate, as well as too time consuming for them. They recognize that we have a large pool of interesting professionals, and a successful and confidential process to help them find their perfect match.

So, that’s why they come to IJL? To meet their match?

“Great guys and women aren’t waiting around to bump into you. You need to market yourself.”

Absolutely! Our clients come to IJL because they want to find someone special. They hire us as results-driven dating specialists. People trust professionals to handle many aspects of their lives, so why not count on a professional to help you find 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 specialist. 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 first date setting where they can truly be themselves. Because in the end, it’s just lunch! But the match could be magic.
