Who We Are

IJL is celebrating 19 years in the dating business, with thousands of professional singles. We've created a service where everyone feels comfortable with the process of meeting a new person. The company was born in 1992 in Chicago and now has locations from New York to Singapore….and in between.

After Founder Andrea McGinty's engagement was called off (and found herself suddenly single!), she began the tedious search to meet "normal", well-educated professionals. Her friends sent her out on blind dates, she tried personal ads, contemplated the internet and dating services, but she wasn't comfortable with any of these options. The ideal date, she decided, was a lunch date or a drink after work. A fun, laid back, stress-free way to meet!

Our clients are wonderful people and we have had a fantastic time matching them. They are successful professionals that are active, have a wide variety of interests and best of all have a positive attitude towards dating. Many of our clients enjoy jogging, rollerblading and biking along Lake Shore Drive and Jackson Park. Chicago singles also appreciate everything from music and the arts to wine tasting and sports. Enjoying an outdoor concert with picnic at Ravinia Park, visiting one of the many museums in Chicago, like the Field Museum or the Art Institute of Chicago, and strolling up and down the Magnificent Mile, and catching a Cubs game at Wrigley Field are all great date ideas in the Chicago area. With thousands of clients in the Chicago we have a great pool of singles to choose from!
