Why do I always feel this way?

My ex & I are taking things slow and trying to work on ourselves again. We want to see if we can work things out because we feel so strongly about each other still after almost 3 years apart. We stayed friends the whole time. I just got out of a really bad relationship(controlling, abusive, & manipulative) & trying move as slow as possible. My problem is that I've never been "wooed" or "dated" before. No guy I've ever been with has truly made me feel wanted. in 26 years of life, I've been on maybe 5 dates. I truly feel like guys don't want to be seen with me, spend time with me, take me out on real dates(not just at night or Netflix & chill). I want to do cute couple things & no one wants to even do the simple couple things with me. I want to bring this up to my ex but I don't know how without sounding corny, needy, or stupid. I don't want to get on his nerves about it but this has been years & I just want to wined & dined, so to speak. I want to feel special, wanted, & cherished.
