Doing romantic things are eeeeeasy. I personally try to do them at all times -- even if they're suuuuuper tiny gestures and are really just super-cheese. While most of the time they're viewed as corny, they're ALWAYS appreciated, and they really "set you apart" from the rest of the "herd" (i.e. other guys).
Perfect example: last night my girl and I were driving back from Ohio to Virginia. We stopped at a rest stop so she could pee, and while she was inside I took the time to walk her dog. While I was walking him, I saw a few stray flowers (NOTHING pretty -- literally they were dandelions). So I picked all of them that I could find (literally, FOUR), and bunched them up in my hand with a twig and another weed-flower and presented them to her upon her return.
She absolutely loved them, and tied the flowers togehter into a "daisey-chain" and hung them from her rear-view.
See: took 5 seconds and 0 thought, and was "romantic". Note: this is a SMALL romantic gesture, not a large one.
I know I can think of the little things, but could you give an example of a Big romantic gesture; and remember: a weekend in paris is beyond my funds, I'm 18 and she's a little younger and we still go to school.

Well, a mix CD is an oldie and a goodie.
If she happens to have a flat tire, go out and sit with her on the side of the road for a while. This is only half joking, one of my favorite memories of my love was about two months after we started seeing each other and she came to keep me company on the side of the highway while I waited for a tow truck once.
If you're going for something big, take her out to dinner, give her a present in her juice glass, (being 18 and all), and write her a poem. Yeah, it's corny. It works.

No Poon for you this weekend! Go find someone the law deems acceptable!
Unless of course your country has better/more reasonable laws, that won't label you a sex offender for sleeping with someone two months younger than you.
Then by all means, seduce her with pretty things,
and this weekend destroy that pretty thing!

yeah I cant believe the laws regarding these matters in your country, they are bizarre :/
Anyway she's 2 years younger then me she's sixteen but we are in the same year @ school due to me screwing up. Im not too bothered, she has got to be one of the prettiest girls I've seen in life and in the movies; I'd show you but I'd have to charge. I like the idea of a mix CD somebody put forward a couple of posts up, especially seeing as how she has a dispicable taste for music, listening to cheesy things like norah jones and usher. As such it might serve a dual purpose as an educational tool.
Weeell, fine, I'll post a picture, but i'll remove it after a day or so in case one of my friends might stumble upon it, wich would make for a pretty emberassing situation, me posting pics of my girlfriend in forums (dodgy shit!)

Oh, ok. I get it, she's seduced by all the romantic crap in movies, and thinks that real life is that way.
Nice, I can't say anything about the laws of my country. In reality the only time that it is actually enforced is when the parents get their panties in a wad.
The laws actually prevent us from being honest with our parents! 
I dated a girl who was 16 when I was eighteen. She was a little immature, and honestly I'm pretty sure that she is asexual.
Whatever, I'm high.

Make a poem about how romance is cheesy and that you would like to do it a different way, tell her why you love her, ask her if there is anything she wants you to change, inscents, chocolate, coconut oil, passion fruit, dim lights, soft music, buy her a book on Tantra?

No but seriously, I do actually wish to please her by doing something genuinely romantic, but I haven't a clue to what is romantic.
Cook her dinner!!! Girls love that either that or cook dinner with her? Cuddle up and watch a movie and despite the other comments don't go with the intent for sex just simply enjoy each others company. Pick some chick flick with a happy romantic end kinda deal or have a few and let her choose. Make her something that shows you care about her (if you're artistic draw a picture, musical write a song, ect...)

Can you cook? Do you have cash to spend?
This is what I would do if I were planning a romantic evening without leaving the house.
Get some salmon and bake it with some butter and garlic and lemon pepper and make some veggies and rice for the side. Get some wine. I prefer red, but chicks always seem to like white wine. Get both. Don't get shitty cheap gas station wine, get nice wine.
Clean your fucking apartment, take a shower and shave, dress nice.
Put on some jazz or whatever music you think is romantic.
Light some candles. Give her a massage. Etc.
Don't be afraid to be cheezy. What matters is that you're sincere.
Now... if she wants to go OUT for a romantic time... well I can't help you. Find something cool in your town like some ballroom dancing lessons, or like a cute-animal sanctuary. IDK.
Good luck and god's speed!

romantic things ARE often cheesy
I hate that crap.
I dunno, it would help a bit if you hint at what she has in the past considered romantic
Quote:
[author: the simpsons]
"show this woman the time of her life"
"Ok! We're getting takeout and doing it twice"
LOL, thats pretty much my idea of romance!
Seriously my husband won me over by taking me out to pick up trash at a local park for our first date! People find differnt things to be romantic.
Every so often my hub will bring me flowers. Yes its cheesy, but first, he doesnt ever do it in a date that I would expect something like that (I cannot remember our aniversary, so I dont expect him to do so, and I think valentines is LAME) and second he never does the cheesy store bought roses thing. He will bring me flowers (or just greenery) he finds while mushroom hunting or fishing. That really makes me feel special cause to me it means that he took at least a little mintue off of what he was doing to think "Hey' i think she'd like this"
If you think camping out would be of her liking then do just that, Why would cops mess with you?

I am not overly romantic - but small gestures, like leading her while walking with my hand on the small of her back, or looking her in the eye and remaining attentive during conversation over a shared meal, and buying her things like a bike tube when she's got a flat and hanging out at home doing homework not expecting me to be thinking of her well being like that...
That is romantic to me.

I've found the most romantic gestures to be 4-5 consecutive orgasms. SHe really likes that.

Here are a few easily gathered:
Reach For The Stars: Rent a telescope (around $30) and go out on a clear night to a park, beach, or some other romantic, open space for a bit of star gazing. Bring a thermos of hot coffee and some buttered bagels, a blanket, and a book on some constellations to seek. Even better, nix the telescope and plan the night around a meteor shower or lunar eclipse. Cost, with telescope: under $40.
Where Romance Blooms: Visit a local botanic garden (some can cost up to $6 or $7 per person, most cost less or are free). Walk hand in hand amid the picturesque paths laden with the heady scent of budding blooms. Bring a snack of fresh, seasonal fruit, and don't forget some old bread to feed to the birds. Total cost: under $15.
Take a book that your partner is reading and using a pencil, underline letters in a section of the book she has yet to read to spell out a love letter. For example in the following exert from a novel, the underlined letters come together to spell out the secret message "I love you"
The palace was a labyrinth, their passage through it tortuous and interminable. Initially they passed from building to building under the sodden sky. Steve's feet ached; he might have laughed at himself, the tireless traveler, grown too soft from his months in the city to walk any proper distance. Abruptly the guards halted.
The underlined letters will make your partner curious and with a bit of luck she will write them down. Spend time to encode a proper message such as "Dear Belinda, I love you honey"
While walking with your partner on a weekend getaway, pick up a smooth stone and say that you're going to keep it as a special memento of your trip. Later, have a message such as
"I Love Rebecca"
engraved into the stone by a jeweler and give it to your partner.
If your partner has to work late, take a lunch box and fill it with some of her favorite things such as chocolates, herbal tea, cookies, a small teddy bear.
Next, get a piece of paper and write
"Michelle's Late Night Survival Pack"
Draw a big red cross below this and stick the paper to the top of the box. Tell your partner to open the box when things get really tough.
Buy a small decorated cardboard box, a sheet of colored tissue paper, some massage oil and a blank card.
Line the box with the tissue paper. Place the massage oil in the box and write the following message on the card:
I know a great Masseur.
For an appointment ring:
(Your Phone Number)
If your partner has long hair, take the time to brush it using long slow strokes. This is particularly effective after she has had a shower or when she is getting ready for bed. Head tinglies are very stimulating as long as you're not ripping her hair out brushing it too hard.
For some fun, offer to shampoo her hair. For even more fun, style each other's hair with egg whites and a hair dryer, then go out for ice cream with your new hairstyles.
Treasure hunts with small, stupid, cheesy, 'treasures' are fun. Could be old valentines, plastic bubblegum jewelry, coupons for latte's, toys, etc. The cheesier, the better.
Invite your partner on a date by sending her a plain brown envelope containing a tape. On the tape, record the Mission Impossible sound track and then record yourself saying, “Your mission if you choose to accept it is to make your way to Café Venoli, 123 Park Lane at 18.30 Eastern Standard Time. There you will rendezvous with a stunningly attractive man wearing a red carnation. The future of the free world is now in your hands. This tape will self destruct in five seconds.” Then record ten beeps from a stopwatch and record yourself saying, “Would you believe ten seconds…” Its corny but it usually gets a laugh!
For Valentines Day, buy your partner a charm bracelet with at least 14 charms.
Remove all the charms and let your partner 'find' one charm each day for the first fourteen days of February. On Valentines Day give her the bracelet and any remaining charms.
Create a love montage by collecting some photographs of you and your partner, some ticket stubs of places you have visited and any other small odds and ends that have special meaning to you both.
Take these items and get them professionally framed in a three dimensional montage. Alternatively, buy a frame and create a simple montage yourself.
Place an ad in the paper on a normal day saying something like:
Dear Amanda,
With you by my side, everyday
feels like Valentines Day.
Thank you for being you.
Love,
Graham

My boyfriend kinda did this for me ^ except he just stuck a little note in it instead. Very sweet!

This sounds way to corny and like a waste of money.

This could be nice but it is better to do it yourself than to get a professional to do it imo.
My advice: Cook her something good, cuddle up on the couch and watch something like The Notebook if she's into that. Having some candles lit wouldn't hurt the mood either.
