What To Expect

How does it work?
First, you schedule a discreet, confidential interview with our experienced matchmakers. This interview enables us to carefully discern what it is you look for in a potential partner. We talk about what has worked for you in the past (and what hasn’t) and what your interests are. Then, we match you with suitable clients.

How are clients matched?
We select a person for you based upon the information we discuss in the interview. Our clients:

Are successful, interesting and cultured

Are well-educated, unique, interesting individuals with a diverse range of interests

Are pre-screened for a higher level of safety and comfort

Are seeking a committed relationship

Our staff members have years of experience and create matches based on personality and physical preferences the old fashioned way using traditional matchmaking methods. Our service isn’t about online dating or giving you a date; it’s about our insightful, professional IJL team hand-selecting appropriate matches based upon your desires, goals, motivations and our instincts.

How is the date arranged?
Once we select a match for you, we contact you by phone to tell you about the match we have selected for you. We respect your confidentiality and only give out your first name, never revealing your address, phone number or company name. We give you a concise description of your potential date and why we think this match is appropriate. Everything we know about you is taken into consideration for this process.

How and where do I meet my date?
The only work you need to do is to show up at the restaurant and enjoy the date. We handle every step. If your schedule makes meeting for lunch difficult, we can arrange for a drink after work. Our goals are that the match is well-suited and the time and place are convenient for both of you. We schedule dates at some of the best local restaurants. Our wonderful restaurant partners help us create an environment that makes getting to know the other person as natural (and fun!) as possible.

What happens next?
Actually, many of our first dates turn into second dates! At the end of the date, you can exchange business cards or phone numbers and make plans to get together again. Following each date, we ask that you call us with feedback. From your comments and overall impression of the person, we’ll fine tune your next match so that we can be even more precise in the future. The process couldn’t be easier.

What’s your success rate?
Very high! Many of our first dates result in second dates. And, every week we’re informed of engagements and marriages of our Vancouver clients. So, you have nothing to lose…except for your single life.
