I'm a hopeless romantic myself.
For example, I was dating this girl, several years back, who loved Skittles. So, she was having a relatively stressful week at work, and to try and cheer her up a bit, I did this:
I went to a Walmart at like 2am, I bought the biggest bag of Skittles I could find, bought some pink ribbon (which was her favorite color), and tied a single rose around the bag along with a small card that simply said "Hope this makes your day a little bit better. I love you."
I then drove over to her house and left that package on the windshield of her car.
Here's a more recent example:
I'm currently dating a girl who is just as big of a romantic as I am, but for some reason, has never really be doted on. So, for our very first date, I brought her a dozen roses and a little gift. Since I knew that she had an affinity for Renaissance Fairies, I bought her a little novelty fairy catching kit with a tiny little bottle and bug net.
So no, romance is not dead.
