Romance is highly overrated, take it from me. I concentrated on fun dates, spontaneous dates...that lead to a super marriage. Even our sex wasn't "romantic"...but more athletic and performance-driven which is absolutely what guys want most. Romance, in my humble opinion, is movie stuff and doesn't really matter. You can't stay "romantic" longterm. I can have as much fun with my honey at Wendy's for lunch than I can have at the local soft-music steakhouse. leave romance for Hollywood, not real life.
