Who We Are

IJL is celebrating 19 years in the dating business, with thousands of single professionals. We've created a service where everyone feels comfortable with the process of meeting a new person. The company was born in 1991 in Chicago and now has locations from New York to Singapore….and scores in between.

It's Just Lunch was founded by a Chicago woman whose engagement was called off. Finding herself suddenly single, she began the tedious search to meet "normal", well-educated professionals. Her friends sent her out on blind dates, she tried personal ads, contemplated the internet and dating services, but she wasn't comfortable with any of these options. The ideal date, she decided, was a lunch date or a drink after work. A fun, laid back, stress-free way to meet!

Our clients are diverse, interesting people and we have a fantastic time matching them. They are successful Victoria singles that are active, have a wide variety of interests and best of all have a positive attitude towards dating.

Victoria is an active city with a singles population that loves the outdoors. The quality and variety of activities is one of the biggest reasons Victorians love their city. Where dating is just as natural to picnic on a beach as it is to sip tea in a formal tearoom, where you can explore on a bicycle or on a horse-drawn carriage, launch a kayak from the Inner Harbour downtown, tee off on a splendid golf course, cycle The Galloping Goose Trail, or climb up one of the four mountain peaks, all within 30 minutes of downtown Victoria. Our Victorian singles also pay homage to an exciting, diverse selection of festivals, live theatre, concerts, opera, and venues range from contemporary galleries, stages, and halls to historic theatres and even castles.
