That's true for all of us, isn't it? The places where you first met or proposed to your significant other are probably two of the most romantic spots that come to mind - for you. Beautiful sunsets or a secluded area in the dunes on Sandy Hook may be romantic too, but they don't hold a candle to your personal experience - whether it was in a local deli or even a shopping mall.

Because romance is so personal, it seemed to be a futile task to attempt listing romantic places around New Jersey, so I'm not going to do it. Instead, here are some links with either ideas for romance or just fun stops on the Net with romance in mind:

• Set the Mood with special candles.

• Kissing Booth - Just for fun, for both him and her.

• Ask the Love Duck - Does he or she love you? Find out here.

Valentine's Day or not, don't overlook simple opportunities to put a little romance back in your life. Many of the accommodations and restaurants in New Jersey have very romantic settings, set some time aside for a get away or just a special dinner.
