💌 Could You Be a Match for Jake H? 💌

At 33, Jake lives in Long Beach but spends most of his time in Orange County enjoying the outdoors and staying active. Whether he's camping, fishing, hiking, playing volleyball or pickleball, skiing, snowboarding, training for endurance races, or gathering friends for a game night, Jake loves making the most of life and inviting others into the adventure.

His faith is a huge part of who he is. Jake would describe himself as broken but forgiven, and he strives to live out his relationship with Christ with authenticity, humility, and purpose. He's active in serving and values surrounding himself with people who are pursuing Jesus wholeheartedly.

More than anything, Jake is looking for a genuine connection with someone who shares his faith, values, and desire for a Christ-centered future. He's excited about finding a relationship that is fun, meaningful, and ultimately headed toward marriage.

One quick reminder before you apply: you don't need to sound perfect or have all the "right" answers. Just show up as yourself- that's what matters most.

xoxo,
Mel New, IYKYK Dating Founder
