I was taking an afternoon nap after a long day when I got a phone call from an IJL sales representative. After an hour long talk, she had got me. Afterwards I had felt stupid for not checking online reviews, which the vast majority of are negative. I had signed up for 12 date introductions in Tulsa, OK. My first date was in Tulsa, but then they told me about a woman in OKC they wanted me to meet. That was about 1:15 away, but in the end…that never happened.

My first date was a little awkward. The woman was a psychologist for children, and she briefly talked about what she did, but she had to be confidential. I respect the confidentiality, but at the same time…withholding a lot of information on a first date isn’t super impressive, so initiate a conversation about something else instead of telling me multiple times that you can’t tell me things. This woman was also a very active Presbyterian. I am, and told the IJL people that I was an atheist. I don’t hate Christians, but I would prefer to date otherwise as I’ve had bad luck in the past, as it is often incompatible, or “unequally yoked,” for a Christian to date someone like myself. Anyway, she came and went and has since been deleted from my phone.

So, my job in Tulsa didn’t work out. They sent me to Grand Canyon, AZ. Not a bad place, but the nearest IJL areas were Phoenix, Scottsdale, Las Vegas, and Albuquerque. Prior to leaving Tulsa, I told them I’d be moving here. A nice woman at HQ told me I may be able to get a refund. After moving here, I got a call from another woman who wasn’t sure if that would work, and asked me if I was ready to start dating in Phoenix. When I explained to her that was more than three hours away, she offered Vegas or ABQ as options. Great….

So I called back the woman in Florida who said a refund MAY be an option. With just a few short emails from her, and a 6 week period, I finally got one. After reading bad review after bad review of IJL, I at least felt they were an honest, respectable business for allowing me a refund when I lived so far from their points of service. Now, here is the best part.

I’ve also used online dating sites for some time. I’d had begun to talk to a non-Christian woman in St. Louis a few weeks prior to receiving the refund check. It was only emails and text messages initially. We did that for a week and then it seemed to die off. I got the refund check, deposited it in the ATM, and hadn’t even left the banks parking lot when I got a text from this girl who I thought I’d never hear from again. That text led to a phone call that afternoon, to many more, and a three day long first date in STL. We are not married, not engaged, I’m not even sure if it is a “relationship” yet, but I sent her and her kids Christmas gifts and we are making plans to meet again. I didn’t leave Oklahoma by choice, Missouri is my home state, and I do want to get back home. This may turn out to be a disaster, maybe bliss, but likely something in between. I just thought I’d share the story. IJL may not be the best service, but they were respectful enough to issue me a refund when I respectfully requested one due to moving a long way from any of there service points. That deserves a thumbs-up, or at least none down. I also wanted to share the irony of only seconds after depositing the refund check, I got a text from a woman I’m very attracted to and have plans to see again. How funny is that? Wish me luck!
