So I have been in a relationship with my partner for 8 months now and we have only been on 2 dates just the two of us... We do things as a family (me, him, my daughter) but not really going on a date.
He is a wonderful partner but not very romantic so I'm the one wanting to go out. It doesn't need to be fancy or cost anything, a picnic somewhere would be nice or a dinner at home with some effort. Before you ask, yes I have told him this but I also dont want to be a nag and would like it to happen naturally, but its not :-(
How can I get him to be a bit more romantic?

Well. You need to talk to him and unfortunately you can’t force someone into doing something. You can always go out and enjoy yourself. But I get that you want to spend time with him.
I think that's actually an easy one. Just tell him that a guy you know from school has been bugging you to go out with him, but that you told him you want to ask your boyfriend to take you out first.
Or here's an idea... how about YOU take him on dates? Why does it have to be just him that takes you out? Why can't you do some stuff for your man to reciprocate?
Thats the thing I do. I just ask for some romance. I do all the initiating.
He just might not be all that much of the romantic type of person. Now I know you said you don't wanna be a nag, and that's good, but I would bring it up a couple of times saying that you would like to go out just the two of you, or just have a stay at home Netflix and chill date. I don't know what is going on in his life so I'm not gonna judge and say he's a POS or anything because you never know what goes on in someone else's life. But communication is a start. And if he still refuses after you have told him multiple times that you would like to, well then that's a sign to move on. Bur ONLY after you do it many times and he makes no effort. If he tries, but things keep coming up then don't.
