Over 50% of all singles in America have not had a date in more than TWO years.  At It’s Just Lunch, we want to change that statistic and make dating easy and fun for you! We do all the work and take the hassle out of dating.

Once we’ve selected a match for you, we’ll call you to tell you all about the person and why we think you will make a great match. Confidentiality is key! Only first names are provided and we never reveal a match’s address or phone number. We’ll provide you with plenty of details about your match that will help jump start conversation once you meet for lunch or drinks after work! Everything we’ve learned about you—as well as the feedback you’ve provided throughout your membership –plays a role in the matching process. 

Guys: 3 Dating Tips Just For You

1.) Add a little cherry, crimson, burgundy, cardinal and wine color into your wardrobe. Studies show that women are attracted to men wearing red. 

2.) To create an instant connection with your date, say her name at least twice in the conversation. This shows attentiveness and helps create a bond.  

3.)Did she mention a movie she just saw or a band she likes? Work them back into conversation! Studies show that remembering bits of information about a person and talking about it later in conversation shows interest and it’s also flattering!

Can Opposing Political Views Ruin a Relationship . . . or Make it Hotter?

With Election Day right around the corner, we decided to poll singles in our latest survey about their thoughts on dating and politics. The results found that men see potential for more passion in a relationship while women ask why.

56% of men agreed that “Dating someone who has opposite political opinions might not make for a good long-term relationship, but it could create some fantastic passion,” while 56% of the women viewed the statement as false.

 “It looks like what we see on sitcoms and in the movies about men is true,” says Irene LaCota, spokesperson for It’s Just Lunch. “Apparently, they can make anything into a turn-on.”

 When asked what they would do if they discovered their date voted for “the other guy” in an election, 57% of women said they would “politely ask them what their reasons were for voting the way they did.” The number one answer for males, selected by 47% of the men, was  “Buy them a drink and make a toast to differences.” The other two choices garnered a smaller response. “Challenge them. After all, they voted for the wrong candidate” came in third, with only 5% of both genders selecting it. And 5% of men and 3% of women chose “Silently wonder to yourself how you can get them to change their opinion.”

“Even with politics,” says LaCota, “most women are inclined to want to find out what makes people tick, particularly men.”

However, what singles think, and what they practice—when it comes to dating political opposites—appears to differ. 54% of singles disagreed with the statement that dating someone who “didn’t have the same political beliefs” wouldn’t work out in the long term. Apparently, this is truer in theory than in practice: 66% (61% of men and 68% of women) said, “I date people who have similar political opinions and beliefs as me.”

LaCota says that having opposing political views is no more important than differing over any other interests. “Differences are part of what makes a relationship interesting, and help you grow,” she says. “They are part of learning how to love unconditionally.”
