When I was a student in the US, I found it very strange that people called me romantic all the time just because of my French nationality.

And in fact, I was shocked whenever I went out with couples. Often they were all over each other, holding each other, kissing, and calling each other cute names. In France, that behavior is considered quite rude by people you are with (your friends or your family), as if you are excluding them or ignoring them.
