It’s hard to find men who are romantic sometimes. Well, we don’t like to generalize, but some men take pride in being macho and tough, so when it comes to romance, they shy away. They probably say sweet things to you, and they probably secretly appreciate it when they are shown love and affection too. A man may not openly tell you that he likes to be flattered and pampered with mushy things that make his heart melt. Our guess is because he wants to be the tough guy on the outside rather than a die-hard romantic!
While there is nothing wrong in being a die-hard romantic, he perhaps doesn’t want his romantic side to be considered his weakness. So we suggest that you let him be and in return shower him with some love that he can’t refuse.
