He Remembers Significant Moments Of Your Relationship
Women are generally naturals at remembering every special day, date and time relating to their relationship, but when your man is just as good (if not better) at remembering the special moments as you are chances are romance is in his DNA.
If he never lets a significant anniversary pass without acknowledgment, remembers the dress you wore on your first date or recalls exactly what you had for dessert on your first vacation together, then he’s not only romantic, but also pretty damn thoughtful.

He Goes Out Of His Way To Plan Things
One of the most annoying things in a relationship is dealing with a man that never plans anything. No matter how small, big or simple, no woman likes to the responsibility of having to plan are her special moments and activities because her man lacks initiative.
So, if you’re lucky enough to have a man that goes out of his way to plans date nights, vacations, birthday celebrations, etc., consider yourself very lucky that your man is fueled by romance at every turn.

He Loves To Surprise You
Surprises can be tricky, some people absolutely love them and others hate them. If you don’t mind the effort and good intentions behind a thought out surprise, then you’ll probably appreciate a man who is full of surprises for his special lady.
Never knowing what to expect and always being totally shocked by your man’s surprises, means that he is doing something right. Most romantic men love to surprise because their joy comes from the look of happiness on their loved one’s face once all is revealed.

He’s Chivalrous
Unfortunately, in today’s world the act of chivalry is becoming more and more of a lost art. However, there are still men out there who practice it regularly and are committed to acting chivalrous in their relationship.
Opening doors, pulling out chairs, walking on the outside of the street and taking off their coat and placing it on your shoulders are just some of the ways your man shows you how chivalrous and equally romantic he is.

He’s Comfortable Showing His Sensitive Side
Although he may not show his sensitive side around others, if your guy is totally comfortable showing it with you, that’s all that matters.
Sensitivity in men gets so ridiculed and made fun of in daily life that many men are afraid to even go there emotionally. When you’re dealing with a romantic man though, he couldn’t care less what others think and will bare his soul to you in a heartbeat.

He Makes The Cliche Moments Special
One of the problems that critics seem to have with romance is that is cheesey and filled with cliches. While that may be true to an extent, a romantic man knows how to take those cliche moments and make them unforgettable.
By putting his own spin on romantic gestures that have been done a million times, he’s not only showing you his romantic side, but also letting it be known that every moment with you is special.

He Shows You With Respect
It doesn’t cost anything and it doesn’t require any over-the-top gestures, nevertheless, respect in a relationship is one of the most important things to have.
Your man can do a lot of things to show you just how romantic he is, but if he shows you respect at all times that’s better than any gift he could ever give you. It also means he’s a keeper.

Spoiling You Is A Habit
Now, it’s important to know that a man spoiling a woman doesn’t always mean he’s spending extravagant amounts of money or doing over-the-top things. Often times it means doing the little things to show that you care, which separates the true romantics from the wannabes.
Foot massages, back rubs, bringing your favorite dessert home just because, or running you a bubble bath are all incredibly romantic gestures that cost little or nothing at all…something a hopeless romantic already knows.

His Romantic Gestures Are Constant
It’s easy for your man to be extra romantic on your birthday, Valentine’s Day or during vacation, but what about on a random Tuesday in September? That’s what truly separates the men from the boys and where natural romantics shine brightest.
If he’s always romantic with you regardless of the time of year then you know that’s who he is and he doesn’t need to be prompted by a special day on the calendar.

Your Happiness Is The Most Important Thing To Him
In its most simplest form, this is the only thing that matters to a romantic man. Everything he does for you is because your happiness is at the forefront of his mind at all times. He loves to see you at your happiest and knowing that he is the reason why just fuels his romantic heart even more.
