He’s not romantic like I’d like…

I’m doing my best to not compare my new guy to my past bf, but I’m going a bit nuts lol. My bf doesn’t do good morning or goodnight texts, no flowers, really nothing romantic at all, and while I’m aware not every guy is romantic, I have dropped some slight hints of things I like without being overbearing, but it feels it goes one ear out the other. I’m a romantic myself, so I love giving gifts or doing little gestures by going out of my way to make one happy because I want to, but I realized my bf isn’t the same way, so I stopped. I loved being wined and dined with princess treatment from my past relationship who sadly passed, so starting all over again isn’t easy. While yes I can break this off with this guy, I’m trying to see the bigger picture here. Is he kind to me, yes. Do I enjoy his company, yes. Do we have a lot in common, yes. Does he offer to pay for our dates, yes. So while the communication of lovey dovey stuff would be nice or flowers every so often, I can’t change him or force him to be that way. What are your guys thoughts? Like I do drop a guy in hopes the next one is different? I don’t want to be in a cycle of dropping people the minute they lack things I enjoy. I’m 27 and he’s 30 btw.
