text: how can i get my boyfriend to be romantic without begging him to be....? my boyfriend is a nice guy, but not romantic, never bought me flowers or anything....how can i get him to be more romantic, i tried being being romantic myself it didnt' work...i leave him cute notes around the house in his wallet. i tell him how i feel all the time. how do i get him to do the same... your boyfriend is who he is. if you don't like him that way--unromantic--then perhaps you two aren't a good match. it's not likely you are going to change him, and if you feel a need to change him in order for you to be happy, your future promises to be a disaster.  date and love men who are acceptable to you as they are, because it's just unreasonable to expect someone to change their personality for you.
