    There's a site for this now : !

    Has anyone here used this? Found it good?

    Personally, I find the idea rather bizarre but maybe I'm out of touch with the Zeitgeist or sth.

    What a strange idea.

    Could be a fun day though if you got the right person for lunch.

    Excellent, a load of new people to get date raped only now it's during lunch. Needless to say I signed right up...

    How odd.

    I wonder how many takers they get. Looking at the number of profiles though it seems that a lot of people are interested in it

    Strange indeed, first I have heard about something like this :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,735 ✭✭✭ST*


    I can see the allure of the site if you are foreign in this country and just want to get to know a few people.. Catch 22 situation tbh. You either have lunch, or are lunch. Bit strange alright! :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 417 ✭✭randomname


    But you can get free lunch...sweet!

    "Lunch" or "coffee"?

    Well, there are restaurant suggestions. I'm sure the people would just arrange it.

    I quite like the idea actually... a less formal mix of speed and internet dating. Wouldn't really use it cos I swim during my lunch hour but I can see the attraction...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭Femelade


    this guy looks promising..


    seamus o graby
    Why me? I have been told Im an great lunch partner by several cell mates, and if your willing to make the trip up to "the joy" to see me i swear not to, -make lewd sugestions(for first 10 mins) -make inappropriate farting noises(first 5 mins) -grab (without reason)your ass/wallet/ handbag -eat with my mouth open -try and pretend I didnt really eat anything/fart remeber that these promises are aspirational at best other than that ,very much looking forward to meeting you i think.....

    No such thing as a free lunch.whaaa wha whaaaaa :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    There should be an option for running out on the bill for those who don't want to invest too much in the idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 871 ✭✭✭gerTheGreat


    Have to agree. Such an odd :confused: , but interesting idea. Great way to meet new people? well at least you have the excuse of getting back to work if you don't like them :D

    They have several dating services in California that serve professional women who want to meet professional men. The idea is that there is very little risk or commitment by having a lunch, whereas, going to dinner with someone implies more.

    Here's a good one by 'chenzo':
    ok, no one was replying to the other one i wrote, i'l buy you lunch.

    You've got yourself a lunch date!

    Like anyone watch the TV show "OC"? Well, I am sitting in a coffeehouse near the beach in OC and scanning a magazine called "OC Metro." There is a full page ad (May 25, 2006, page 77) of this grey headed guy in a business suit waving his fist in the air as if he just single handedly won the American Football Superbowl championship game. The ad is by "It's Just Lunch," a lunch dating service used to hookup professional women with professional men for lunch.
