Amazon has compiled a list of the most romantic cities in the United States. Their method in which they gathered their information was unconventional, but their data does show insight into modern romance.

A few margin of errors with their testing is population density, Amazon locations available around the US, and the concept that being romantic means you have to be a consumer. That being said, most of these cities would make excellent locations to take a date out on Valentine’s Day.

The company released a statement with format they used to create the list of the most romantic locations.

The list is determined by a compilation of sales data from cities with more than 100,000 residents on a per capita basis and includes purchases of romance novels and relationship books (both Kindle and print); romantic comedy movies (DVDs and digital); a curated list of romantic music, including artists like Barry White, Maxwell, Miguel, and Luther Vandross (CDs and MP3 format); as well as the sales of sexual wellness products.

Four cities in the state of Washington made the list. The southeast dominated their results with the top four spots.
