It's Just Lunch!
109 Jefferson St. Suite 6; 519-3644.
It's Just Lunch is a dating service that specializes in busy professionals. Over 95 % of their clients have college degrees and almost 70% have advanced degrees. The premise is simple; a client meets with a director for a one on one interview where they discuss core values, parameters, lifestyle and interests. From this interview the director hand picks a match; no videos or computers are ever used in this process, it is extremely personalized. Then they do all the work; arranging a lunch date, drinks after work or weekend brunch at one of the great restaurants in Huntsville. It is a ton of fun and it is designed to be very easy. Once a client invests the one hour for the initial interview, they take it from there. There is a fee charged for services. They have been in business since 1991 and have 65 locations nationwide and two new international locations in Toronto and Singapore. It's Just Lunch says: "It is quite simply the best way to meet quality educated people in a discreet, no pressure atmosphere."
