I'm just wondering, how do you 'plan' a romance? To me it happens or it doesn't. I've never been wined or dined and have never felt it necessary. In fact I only ever went on one 'date' in a formal sense, that was with my most recent ex and dating clearly is not my thing, to me it's like an interview with no ending...
Aside from the kissing romance for me is knowing my partner wakes up in the morning and the first thing she wants to do is talk to me/cuddle me depending on where we're at, that my welfare is her concern (to quote a song) and that she will strive to make my day easier in any way she can, she'll flirt with me throughout the day, she's got my back, and she will be honest and loyal. Or at least that's what I offer...
I don't need flowers or gifts or to be taken to dinner. These things are nice in a commercial sense but I can do all those things for my mum in a loving relationship with her...it's not romantic, more a sign of appreciation.
But it always starts with that first kiss...
