His Burning Desire to Talk About Sex on Your First Date in DC

We do have a different kind of daters than those you find on dating sites, but that doesn’t stop some of our daters from treating their IJL match like an internet hookup.

Here’s what happened: Jack was out at Perry’s in Adams Morgan having some sushi with Jill. They were having a great conversation and enjoying the kind of laughing that made other Perry’s patrons turn their heads as Jill was clapping with giggles.

We believe there were drinks involved, which may have added some fuel to the fire so to speak. We are not sure where the conversation turned, but Jack started talking sex.  Not just a little. A lot, and vividly, and he went on…and on.  Because Jill politely laughed out of embarrassment Jack thought he was just being flirtatious but Jill did not find it amusing.

 Needless to say Jill was completely turned off to Jack, and what started out as a great match, ended up in flames!  We were so excited about these two getting together.  This turn for the worse could have possibly ruined a perfect match.

Jack should have remembered that It’s Just Lunch.  You don’t know what your date’s hot buttons are just yet, so keep conversation light and friendly. Once you are comfortable and get to know one another, you can rest assured that more personal topics may be appropriate at that time.

Is this hot mess all Jack's Fault or was Jill partially responsible?

Do You Suffer from Dating ADD? Carpe Date-em

Our It’s Just Lunch Personal Account Rep was very excited about a DC matchmaker match she had made for our client Jill as they seems to be a perfect fit.  Knowing Jill would be happy about the match as well, she was looking forward to the call.

Low and behold, Jill agreed that Jack sounded perfect!  Her next questions was, “Well who is my next match and where am I going after I meet Jack?”  Jill, Jill, Jill…

When we set up matches, it is very important that you give your energies to your current date, especially if you agree that they sound like a good match.  If you are concentrating on dating, you will not give enough attention to the person sitting across from you. The person you are on a date with.  If you agree that Jack may be a good fit, he deserves a fighting chance by gaining your attention even if It’s Just Lunch.

If you are serious about wanting to be in a relationship, you have to understand that dating is a mean to an end. A way to get to know and understand people, not a means to know and understand dating. That, Jill, is our job!

Have you found yourself thinking about who is next instead of giving your date a fighting chance?

What Ethnicity Are You Open to Dating in DC?

Sometimes love comes in a package you were not expecting to open. Such is the case with our next IJL DC matchmaker story.  Jack is a client who had very tight ethnicity parameters, he only wanted to date women of one particular ethnicity. It is also important to Jack that he date a fit woman.

With this in mind we knew we have some great personality matches who were extremely physically fit as well.  So, we suggested to Jack that he open up his parameters. We described the 3 women that we had in mind for him if he would consider dating other ethnicities. 

Because he agreed that our matches sounded like perfect DC dates, Jack agreed to open up his dating parameters to other ethnicities.

 Good choice Jack!  Now you have an opportunity the get to know some sweet, professional women, with sexy bodies to boot!

Sometimes it just happens. The stars align and the perfect DC match is made here at It’s Just Lunch DC.  We love that. Here is one of those stories.

Jack received a call yesterday from us, describing Jill. She is Blond 5’4” southern belle turned DC executive who loves to play Golf . We could hear Jack’s excitement on the phone as he agreed that that was an absolutely perfect match for him.

In fact Jack was so excited about meeting Jill, that he cancelled another date that he had with some women on Match.com.

We’ll check back after the date and let you know how it went. Stay Tuned…

Tell Us Who You Are Dating in DC

It seems that our client Jack has been DC dating two of our other clients Janet and Jill. Jack met both women through us here at IJL and Janet and Jill are currently inactive.

We assume that Janet and Jill went inactive because they are dating Jack. We are very happy that they are dating but also find it very important that we know why you are going inactive.  We take great pride in knowing that our daily efforts are producing the fruits of dating.  We always love to hear that you are happily dating in DC. 

So remember to always tell us, that we have introduced you to someone that you want to spend some time with. Even if you go inactive, we are always always eager and excited to hear success stories!

IJL Client Appreciation

On Friday, two of our Personal Account Reps, here in our It's Just Lunch DC Office, were given great complements.  Even though they have been dating in DC, and have not yet met, “the one” two separate clients have congratulated us for outstanding customer service.

Jack appreciates the way that Ashley takes time to listen to his feedback. And Jill Says that Patti is always very patient. They both thanked them for their efforts last week. Jack and Jill, our efforts are worth every moment because of clients like you!

How To Be Direct with Your DC Date; Tell it LIke It is

Jack and Jill went out on a date in Virginia at Panache on Thursday.  Food was great, they had a decent conversation and Jill thought that all was going quite well. 

When she asked Jack for his contact information, Jack simply stated that he was not sure that IJL knew what was right for him. This turned Jill off to IJL and to Jack as well. What Jack had done was use IJL as an excuse not to call her.

Being more direct with your dates seems to be the most effective way to get the most out of dating with IJL. If there is no chemistry between you and your DC date and you are honest about it, you can move on closer to that one date that IS “The One”.   

What Jack did, in effect was make himself look sheepish and negative. Wouldn’t you agree?
