Very undesirable experience

I'm in Louisville too. Joined IJL in 2007 on a trial basis. In a weak moment they sold me a year's membership in the summer of 2008. Went on a ton of dates, but put things on hold part way into the contract because I got too busy with work. Have been thinking about restarting my membership, so that I can "get what I paid for," but not real excited about the idea because I'm not optimistic that they've gotten any better at what they do...

I have two complaints. One is not knowing how big my dating pool is. I have a certain age range that I'm willing to date, but I also don't want kids. When you take the whole paid IJL pool and kick out those who don't qualify on just those two criteria...what does that leave me? They assure me the pool is plenty big.

That's where my second complaint comes in. I think they set me up with every single one of the men left in the pool. When the call you get so little information. He age, his height, his eye color, his occupation, a couple of hobbies (which shockingly match something that you checked as being interested in). It's really hard to know anything about the guys with such little information. In fact, some dates have been so bad that he and I have actually compared notes about our experiences and it sounds like the men have the same frustrastion as the ladies do...

I've lost track of how many dates I went on. Thought I made one actual connection, but he never called, which is his loss. But all of the others have been duds. No attraction. The guys are often nervous as hell and have little to talk about outside of what they do for a living. They also ask very little about me, my job or interests. I'm getting tired of doing all the work...but the more I learn about them in that one hour the more I know its not going to work. (Seriously guys, even if you have a bad relationship with your family...don't bad mouth your mother on a first date.)

IJL never called me after my dates to get my feedback like they said they would. I always had to make the call.

I agree with someone else's post that I wish IJL would do more via email instead of phone. Especially when setting up or confirming dates.

I don't mind meeting someone for drinks afterwork, I know lunch can be hard. But I don't like the "drinks" at 7 pm at a fancy restaurant where you often get seated at a table instead of in the bar. That becomes dinner...which will take two hours when the wait staff knows you're on a date, but can't read that you're miserable and ready to go. Lunch is much easier to keep to one hour.
