I do go on regular dates, I also do open doors for women, give the hugs, and give them gifts. This is not romance though, this is simple interaction. As a matter of fact, I'm the first person to arrange a date to a nice place, because I love going out, and hate being stuck in the house.


Maybe the problem here is that you're not viewing them as romantic gestures which by all means I agree to you it might not be overly apparent but I think when something is genuine one doesn't need to think whether it was romantic or not.
As intrigued pointed out before sometimes these smaller gestures can be far more romantic than over the top ones depending on the person.

+1, exactly. romantic is more someone who looks out for you, checks in on you, worries for you, wants to take care of you, is there for you, sometimes even indirectly, not making it obvious. girls pick up on the indirect care. and girls can also tell the genuine from the fake. a smooth talker is not going to go anywhere with superficial flowery talk. the silent guy who irritates because he never says much is still going to get all the brownie points for showing it all through his actions. haha and if one ever confronts him about what's up with all the concern, he might not even accept that he was showing concern, because he is humble. he is not doing it expecting any acknowledgement, he is doing it because that is how he feels about that person. like we do stuff for our family/friends because we want to not because we want anything in return, because it is the emotion you feel for them. same time some direct display of affection is also a must when both have acknowledged the relation.
