Some of this crap is the worst stuff I've ever heard. Buy her a rose on random days? Holy ****. I wouldn't even want to be with a girl who liked that.
Look, if it's a chore, and you have to ask about it here, then maybe things aren't meant to be with this girl. Way I look at it, and I don't consider myself a romantic person, is that this stuff happens naturally. And if it doesn't, well then, you have a problem with your relationship, or bigtime intimacy issues that you need to work out first, on your own.
Romance, I think shouldn't be approached as a sort of prostitution, wherein you buy a rose on random days, cook her dinner, give her a massage, etc. to make her happy. You don't need that. The other day I drew a slightly above stick-figure quality picture of an alien eating my girlfriend and she thought it was the most romantic thing ever. Why? I guess because I took the time and effort to do something that was silly and meaningless that involved her. But honestly I don't really know. I'm not saying to draw a picture of an alien eating your girlfriend, but I'm giving an example of what romance can be, it's not always mundane and cliche activeties or spending money.
I guess I'd define my romantic ability as borderline retardation but at the same time I'm highly successful. A couple months back I wanted to go to the drive in movie with my girlfriend. I have a Celica. So I went out and spent $500 on some gigantic 1975 Buick boat. Took it to the drive in that night and sold it a week later. Pretty retarded but my girlfriend thought it was rad when I showed up at her door in a car she'd never seen that I bought to go on one date.
That being said, I've found that girls like to dress up. Plan a date one night, show up early wearing a suit. She'll love it because then she gets to pull out that strapless dress that spends 99% of it's life in the closet. And it doesn't mean you have to break the bank that night either. Class doesn't always = most expensive place in town. Pick a spot where the two of you will get noticed in your fancy clothes. And then hit the bar afterward and be drunk *******s in formal wear.
Lastly, at the end of a date, when you have sex with her, maybe cuddling for five minutes and falling asleep isn't the best thing. Show her that the touchdown at the end of the evening wasn't getting laid and passing out. Get back up, put your suit back on and just sit and chat with her on the patio over drinks. You know, show her that you want to spend time with her and talk to her, not just bone her and call it an evening.
