"When Andrea McGinty was dumped by her fiancé just five weeks before her wedding, she came up with a unique idea: a dating service called It's Just Lunch! 'Suddenly you're single again, you're busy, you're working a lot of hours and it's hard to meet people,' Andrea says. 'And I found that when I was getting fixed up, I would either do lunch or a drink after work. But I learned really fast that lunch has a beginning; lunch has an end. It's kind of easy to say goodbye, there's no good-night kiss—it's just really easy!''
