Is Robert Pattinson Afraid to be Romantic!?

Robert Pattinson

Although Robert Pattinson plays the sensitive Edward Cullen in 'Twilight', the actor pretends that he is not a romantic man in real life! "I can't think of a single romantic thing that I've ever done", he declared recently. We've told you, girls: not everything that flies is a bird! It could also be a plane!
Anyway, the man is actually afraid to be romantic. "I would never serenade someone to be romantic - you have to have so much balls to do that. I put a flower in someone's locker when I was 15 years old, this girl called Maria. She thought that it was someone else and the other guy claimed it as well, which is great", he said. Oooh, poor Robert, so young and so disappointed!  On the other hand, Robert says he is a believer in on-screen romance. "It's like saying guys can't appreciate romance. I've watched 'Titanic' and I didn't think, 'Oh, this is a girl's film'. I felt like the storyline in 'New Moon' is very heartbreaking and true. I didn't think I was doing something just for the sake of romance", he explained.
But is there some resemblance between him and his character Edward? "I get quite obsessive about things, and possessive as well. I have very, very specific ideas about how I want to do my work and how I want to be perceived, to the point of ridiculousness sometimes. I don't listen to anyone else. That's why I don't have a publicist - I can't stand it if someone's trying to tell me to do something which might be a mistake", he said.
