Meet Daniel Abraham | Events Host (Dating Focused)

We had the good fortune of connecting with Daniel Abraham and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Daniel, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Starting a business was a natural extension of my values and personal experiences—particularly those shaped by dating in Charlotte. I’ve always enjoyed tackling problems head-on, and I wanted to create something that reflects my vision for a better, more intentional dating scene. For me, that starts with quality singles events.

My friends and I kept running into the same issues at local events: high ticket prices that didn’t match the experience, unbalanced gender ratios, overcrowded venues, and either broken or non-existent matching systems. People are hungry to move away from dating apps and connect face-to-face, but the current event landscape often leaves them disappointed.

That’s what inspired me to host my own events—to offer the kind of quality I’d want to experience myself. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel, just build one that actually rolls straight!

There are definitely challenges in planning and executing events, especially in the dating space, but it’s been a rewarding project. I’m excited to keep improving and eventually expand with new ideas that contribute to a stronger, more connected dating culture in the Queen City.

What should our readers know about your business?
You know my name and my mission—but what am I actually doing?!?!

Hosting dating events is just the beginning. I’m also developing workbooks inspired by the lessons I’ve learned and the internal work I’ve done to grow in faith, emotional intelligence, and social/dating skills.

The long-term vision isn’t just about creating opportunities for people to meet—it’s about helping them navigate the complex realities of modern dating and relationships. I’ve fallen on my face more times than I can count, and my hope is to use those experiences to help others do better, love better, and grow in the process.

I can’t share all the details just yet, but I have some exciting projects in the works—and I’m looking forward to introducing them soon!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Day 1 – We’d kick things off with some culture at the Mint Museum, then grab drinks and dinner at the Charlotte Beer Garden—the perfect intro to the city.

Day 2 – Time to get outside. I’d take them paddleboarding at my favorite spot on Mountain Island Lake, or we’d hit up the Whitewater Center for an all-day adventure. We’d wrap it up with a well-earned dinner at Supperland—one of the best spots in town.

Day 3 – We’d explore Uptown, spend some time geeking out at Discovery Place, and if we’re lucky, catch a show at the Belk Theater to end the day on a high note.

Day 4 – Straight fun: we’d head to Carowinds and spend the day chasing adrenaline and nostalgia.

Day 5 – I’m sending them home. Did you see this itinerary?! I gave them a great Charlotte experience—and probably a few sore muscles.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are many people and influences that have shaped who I am today, as well as the man I’m becoming. I’ll kick it off with one of my favorite Bible verses:

“Without oxen a stable stays clean,
but you need strong oxen for a large harvest.” —Proverbs 14:4

Everyone brings some kind of mess into your life, but it’s the people who build you up and stand by you that make the mess worth it.

Shoutout to my sister Susana, who let me steal her wedding decorations to make my events actually look good.

Shoutout to my friend Patrick, who helped me film a corny commercial that—somehow—actually worked.

Shoutout to all my friends who heard my idea, encouraged me, and even came out to support it themselves.

Shoutout to anyone I’ve dated, who taught me more about myself than I could’ve ever learned alone.

Shoutout to the Charlotte “Young Social Paddlers” group, where I escaped dating burnout and just enjoyed being on an adventure with good people.

Shoutout to all the singles in Charlotte, who are genuinely looking to meet and connect with someone special—to those who see themselves as future spouses, mothers, or fathers healing generational trauma and raising a better generation. To those who want to meet the person they’ll spend the rest of their life with—sooner rather than later.

“I wish that I could say that the river of my arms has found the ocean.” —Hozier

I hope that what I accomplish brings all of us closer to finding our ocean.
