Meet out guest expert, Andrea McGinty
Andrea has been a leader in dating since 1992. That’s when she founded ItsJustLunch.com, a dating service that went from one tiny office in Chicago to 110 locations worldwide. The catalyst? Being dumped by her fiancée right before her wedding! Her expertise and common-sense approach to dating proved to be a winner with her first marriage occurring 5 months later. Approximately 33,000 dates later, she has a great understanding of what women and men are looking for and the right strategy to date smartly and efficiently online. Andrea is the founder of several other successful businesses, but her passion remains helping people with their dating lives. She’s been doing that since she was 14 years old and fixing up friends in high school and college. Five years ago, she began writing dating profiles and coaching others when friends and family began dating online. She rolled her eyes at the photos and descriptions some of them used. As with most successful things, word-of-mouth grew about Andrea’s practical, winning approach, so she decided to turn it into a business again!
