ACTIVITY dates are ideal when two strangers meet. If things don’t go well, there’s a built-in distractio­n. If things are going well, the activity can enhance the connection. The latter was the case for Elvis, 31, and Kat, 29, whenthey met for a night of chocolate making at Voilà Chocolat on the Upper West Side. Both of them went in knowing their sugar cravings would be satisfied, but it wasn’t just the chocolate that made for a sweet night. — Jozen Cummings

He said:

I knewthat nomatter how things went between Kat andme, Iwould have a good time because my sweet tooth is notorious. Butwhen she walked in and I saw her big, bright smile, it made me want to make her smilemore.

She made me smile, too. Kat is a teacher, and though I’m not, Iwas an education major. Itwas nice to see howshe has a profound passion for what she does. Her love for the Yankees was also impressive. I was relieved that she hates Alex Rodriguez like me. I can’t date a woman who likes A-Rod.

Voilà was very cool. Iwas impressed with the team who helped us. The passion of our chocolatie­r made everything more fun for Kat and I.

At theend of the date we exchanged numbers, and later that night, we texted and made plans to go out again. I’m excited.

She said:

When I first approached Voilà Chocolat, I saw Elvis through the window and was relieved to see he was attractive.

While we were making chocolate, I discovered we had lots in common. We are both native New Yorkers, the oldest of three siblings and care a lot about our families.

Voilà was cute! Playing with chocolate was by far one of the best date activities I’ve experience­d. We had lots of fun making truffles [and] chocolate bars and joking around while doing it.

Elvis was a gentleman throughout the date. Whenwewere leaving, he helped me with my coat and held the door. We exchanged numbers after we left Voilà. Iwould definitely see him again.
