How?
A man expresses himself through action. Occasionally through no action. Women tend not to like this attribute very much, preferring us to be more like them; talkative and given to lengthy explanations for everything. However, letting our actions speak for us is a genetic inheritance. It is also preferred.
In other words; if he travels to see you, or stays in your company then he is being romantic. Like it or not, that's how we think.
He could travel anywhere or be with anyone, if he chooses you, it is romantic.
Conversely; if he doesn't turn up or wanders off when you think he should be staying, then he doesn't feel romantic towards you or you've turned him off and he's letting his actions speak for him again.
If your man buys flowers, incidentally, it is not romantic! It is not! He is merely doing what he thinks will please you and there is a huge difference between that and being romantic.
A romantic gift would be something that any woman would probably hate and totally misunderstand. It would be something that he thinks you need, something practical probably.
If it is a new fridge/freezer, for example, it does NOT mean that you belong in the kitchen. It means that he's noticed you've got a problem with yours and he cares enough to want to fix the problem for you.
Romance for men is a silent thing, no words, no explanations, totally physical (like leading you by the hand, silently, to his car and then driving you to a pre-arranged dinner reservation) and the best thing you could do for yourself and any man you are ever interested in, is to understand and accept these facts of life.
Hope this goes some way to answering your question.

It probably varies from guy to guy. Some guys are more overtly romantic - signs of affection, flowers, etc. However, some guys are either not as in touch with their feelings as that or too afraid to admit they are in touch with their feelings. Odds are pretty good, though, that if these guys offer to do something, make something, or fix something for you, they are interested in you. They are trying to romance you by making your problems go away - whether it be fixing your car, updating your computer, or raking your leaves. Or there is also a third group of guys (perhaps including groups one and two) who try to show romance by buying you things (dinner and a movie as the classic example). Clearly, they are trying to romance you by proving they can provide for you.
Romance for women may not be the same as what men think of with romance. Flowers and chocolates and lingerie are pretty obvious. But don't ignore it if he offers to fix something in your house you didn't notice (or didn't care) was broken or attempts to buy something for you. He's probably saying something you want to hear, but doesn't use the same language you do.
Then again, all of this is my guess. I hope it helps anyway.

Romance to me is my favorite home cooked meal. I can smell it when I come in the door. You greet me naked at the door. That old saying if he isn't hungry he is horny. I'm between relationship right now but my last one. 26 years married. I would always get up earlyer then her I would rub her feet and kiss her good by. I would tell her I had to work late from the other phone in the house and surprise her. My wife gave me sticky notes she had found and said she could never use all of them. Took me one whole day I used them all. I put up sticky notes all over the house in her car and in books she was reading. They was in the freezer in behind food in the refrigerater. saying I love you. This I did 3 years ago and she is still finding them in books today..This was three houses ago. They was every where and in every thing. I would sneak in the house and call her and change my voice and put in reservation for dinner like i was talking to resturant. Send flowers to her work when the most people would be there. Put flowers in her car so she would smell them and have to stop and see where the smell was comming from. Meet her for lunch when she didn't know I was close to her. She most of the time could sence I was close. After being married you sence your other 1/2 is near. She has new boy friend and still calls me to say where are you and we are close to each other we both sence it.. We work different locations all the time. Keep my things picked up in the house.. I can not be close to my love and not be touching her. I love to hug and kiss. I tell her how beautifull she looks when we both know she needs to lose weight. I always call her Princess. What do you do for your other1/2?

Men involve in a romantic relationship are no difference from women! They like to be cuddled, pampered. Whisper sweet nothing into their ears, shower them with love, listen to them, hold them, kiss them all over... that's what romance means to them!

flowers --- caring ---- gifts from the heart --- dinners together talking and being together ---- walks on the beach ---- watching the rain over the ocean ---- knowing what my lady would like ---- rose petals on the bed --- candles everywhere
