Definitely go to your company's holiday party, but if you're dating someone new, consider whether to bring him or her along, says Alana Beyer, vice president of It's Just Lunch, an international dating service for busy professionals. "If you just met or it's been a week or two, you may feel uncomfortable and they may feel uncomfortable," explains Beyer, whose Palm Desert, Calif.-based headquarters has offices in 100 locations worldwide.

"Its Just Lunch The Premier Dating Service For Busy Professionals Expands Into New Orleans Louisiana 'New Orleans professionals are a natural target for an It's Just Lunch office,' said Lisa LaHoste, Owner of the New Orleans office. 'They are busy well educated professionals who don't have time to meet other singles on their own. IJL found that 49% of singles are open to using a dating service; with the success we have all over the world and nearly one and half million people in New Orleans, it just made sense to open an office in New Orleans.'"

"'Just because a woman earns more, she shouldn't always be expected to pay,' says Kimberly Brandt, who owns an It's Just Lunch dating service franchise. She finds her female clients are more concerned with men being in their financial bracket. Men tend not to care as much about their date's salary. That is, unless it's higher. 'Society puts that stigma that the man should make more than the woman, so if the man is having a security problem, it tends to lead to a breakup,' says brandt."
