Our belief is that we don't need one specific day of the year to show each other we care about one another, rather, we just do that all year long.

So while other couples are out doing romantic dinners, couples massages, and exchanging gifts, my wife and I make tacos and watch the Office.

But let's say you are looking to do something a little more romantic for Valentine's Day, I'm not here to judge, in fact, I applaud your efforts!

Finding the perfect spot for a romantic date night or dinner may seem like a big order at first, but remember we live in Jersey, and you have so many options!

Maybe you want to do a classy dinner that overlooks the ocean, then you'll want to check out Chef Mike's ABG in Seaside Park.

Perhaps you want a classic steak house vibe, then you'll want to head to Sinner's Steak House in Point Pleasant, and if that's a little out of budget then there's always Texas Roadhouse!

According to experts though, the perfect date night spot isn't in Seaside or Point Pleasant, in fact, it's not even in Ocean County, although it's just a short ride down the Parkway.

There was a lot of thought put in to deciding the best date night cities in America.

The criteria included the number of romantic restaurants, the average cost of a bottle of wine and dinner for two as well as the cost of a movie for two people.

My first thought was that it had to be somewhere like Jersey City or Hoboken just due to their proximity to the city, but believe it or not, the best date night spot in Jersey is right near the shore!

According to APP, Atlantic City ranked as the #2 perfect date night spot in the country right behind Sarasota Florida which came in as the #1 best city for the perfect date night.

When you think of it, it makes sense. Atlantic City has tons of amazing restaurants that fit any budget, there's tons of nightlife and entertainment, and of course, you're right on the beach so there's tons of fun to be had.

Plus with an ample amount of hotels, you can make a full weekend of your romantic date night!

But let's be real, there's not shortage of fun stuff to do near the Jersey Shore
