Does the romance you read ever inspire you in your approach to relationships?

I know romance stories aren't seen as a guide to real life relationships and readers don't always see it as something they'd want to have for themselves, I'm just curious if there was anything you've read in your romance, like a gesture or a small thing/big thing that inspired you to want do something similar for your partner, if you were/are in a relationship.

For me, when I read BL, I really appreciate how it portrays men being vulnerable and cherished in ways that go against traditional gender roles. It’s made me want to express affection in similar ways like getting my partner flowers and doing other small cheesy gestures. I'm a single pringle though ╮(￣▽￣)╭

What about you guys?
