A Romantic Gesture is identical to a Loving Gesture, except that in order to
qualify as "romantic," it needs
to be at least somewhat pointless or useless; lacking in practical function or
utility.
If you
wash the dishes,
take out the trash, fart elsewhere, tell her you love her, go to her special events, and buy her tampons, but don't buy her flowers that will die in just days, you've never performed a single Romantic Gesture.
What a dick.
