Romance novels and chick flicks are all well and good if that tickles your fancy, but keep in mind that reality is pretty nice too. If "the extra mile" means 'doing things that AuroraWolf wants' then you're not going to get very far with your efforts. Does he otherwise appreciate you or do you two even have other things in common? If the answer is 'yes and yes' then maybe you should focus on enriching the more important parts your relationship. Beyond that, you could even explore why you two enjoy the things you do. That would provide a lot of insight for both of you and maybe encourage more compromise if necessary.
IMHO, anybody who describes herself as a 'hopeless' anything is going to have a hopeless struggle trying to convert somebody who has the hope of doing or liking other things. Is he a hopeless NON-romantic and are you two simply incompatible, or are you maybe expecting too much? It's worth some thought.
