tell him how you feel... if he doesnt take the hint and do something then maybe you need to rethink things. if it is important to you then maybe you need to find a new guy. some guys just dont do the romantic thing very well

Some guys just aren't romantic. I am married to a wonderful guy, who is not a romantic. He loves me deeply and tells me so often, but he just doesn't do those "knight in shining armor" type of things.
Step back and look at your boyfriend. Does he treat you right? Is he verbally abusive? Is he physically abusive? Does he like to spend time with your or would he rather spend it with his buddies? Is he a drug or alcohol abuser? Generally, how does he treat you. Is he respectful and think about you when making decisions? Does he tell you that he loves you or at least tell you that you are important to him? If you can honestly answer these questions and find that you do have a really great guy, then him not being a romantic is a pretty small thing.

I've been having the same problem with the guy I'm involved with. I would wonder if he would be more attentive if I were thinner or prettier.
Are you romantic yourself and upset because he doesn't reciprocate, or do you think that this is the type of behavior that you think an ideal boyfriend should exhibit?
Don't drive yourself crazy over it. Just ask him, in a nice way, and if he doesn't come through then you need to make the decision of whether you can live with it...or not.

Maybe he's just not the romantic type or doesn't know you are. Miscommunication is a b****....If you don't say something now then you'll be kicking yourself later. Men aren't mind readers (I wish they were but they're not) and sometimes they just don't get it. Add that to the fact that society has somewhat beaten into their brains that we're independent and don't need romantic gestures and that flowers = cheating and an "I'm sorry gesture" is it really any wonder why guys today are so damn confused?

Why should a man have to be romantic to get girls attention? As long as he's spending time with you and everything why should he hav to spend $50 on flowers that will only last for a few days? Is that what love means to you?
If you really want him to do something still, maybe casually mention it to him. most guys are clueless like that.

Typically boyfriends slow down the romance after about month 3. Once he knows that he has you locked in he doesnt really need to try anymore. I would suggest making him a bit insecure and then I'm sure the romance will come back.

That's probably just how he is. I'd guess he doesn't really think to do anything like that. Just tell him that you'd appreciate more romantic gestures or something. Keep in mind he just might not be that type of person.

some men are not very romantic so either put up with him or look for a more romantic man.

He's young and immature and doesn't know what to do... Maybe you could give him some hints or break up with him... a relationship without any romance is just a friendship...

Maybe he doesnt' know what you want to do or like. Tell him, he is not a mind reader.
