 Some romantic things to do are:
Just tell her how pretty she is, or how much you love her, out of the blue.
Set up a candle-lit dinner for you two.
Take her out on a date.
Give her flowers or a flower out of the blue.
Cuddle her.
There's so many more things. I say the best way to figure out romantic things is, honest to god, watch a romantic movie. There are so many good examples in movies, and it doesn't even have to be something like The Notebook! Romantic Comedies are good examples too!
Heck, that's another romantic thing, watch a movie with her, and let her pick the movie!

Hey! I'm a girl, and guess what?! I'm not very romantic either. My boyfriend is however, so thank god for him being there. So there is no right or wrong way to be romantic. Cook her a dinner, or if you can't cook, get a takeaway (nothing like McDonalds or KFC, just a curry or Chinese or something that would look good on a plate. (The gesture of giving her food is just nice itself.) You can sit and eat it cuddled by the tv watching a movie, or go for a candle lit dinner. Don't overdo the romance, she might find it suspicious or a bit unlike you and too full on...but buy her flowers form time to time or take her to a restaurant. Nothing too expensive, it's just that gesture of going out and doing something together. Maybe even ask if she wants to go out in the day somewhere, and take her, even if it's not your sort of thing. She'll appreciate the thought. Text her sweet texts in the morning so she has something nice to wake up to. Take her shopping every once in a while. The most romantic thing a man can do is just ask about her day, her life and just concentrate on her in the conversation. Show or pretend to be interested. I'm pretty sure you've done some or all of these at some time or other, so perhaps your confused to what being romantic actually means. Spending time with your girlfriend is romantic in itself, doing social activities or relaxing together is romantic. I think you're really looking for ways to enhance your romance. Girls just appreciate time and effort from their boyfriend being spent on them. :)also, if you've been going out that long, you must be doing something right!

Personally the idea of romance as defined by hearts flowers, candle lit dinners etc is a cringe worthy concept for me. I'm talking about those cliched things associated with high romance.
Romance, ie inducing a feeling of intense affection/love in someone, is brought about by considering the other person's feelings and actively showing that you care. And this can be done by the smallest gestures. Anything that you can do to make your partner's life easier and happier will be much appreicated.
