I've been with my boyfriend for three years. We are absolutely in love with each other, but of course I've got a couple of complaints. He's not romantic, at all. I've asked him to take me on dates, or go do something romantic for a day, and eventually he may take me on a date (after me repeatedly asking and basically planning it). But he has never done anything like that without me asking. I can live with him not being romantic, but I think every girl dreams of a little romance in their relationship. How should I handle this?

This is coming from an old geezer of 54 - but I've been very happily married for almost 33 of those years.
If there is any ONE thing that I'd have to say is important in a relationship, it's COMMUNICATION!
It's critical that couples talk. Speaking from the male perspective, I can't fix what I don't know is broken.
I know that this is a bit crude, but if my wife never told me that she feels that my snapping her bra strap is demeaning, I might have continued doing something that I thought was just "in good fun."
Here's the point of all this: tell your guy what you've told us - he's the one that matters. He can't fix what he deosn't know is broken. If he cares about you, he'll go out of his way to make you happy.
Note: Some guys are simply not romantic by nature. I was blessed to have a father who was, and I learned by what I saw every day. Anybody, however, can LEARN!
Best regards...
