Romance proper: an offer, a declaration, a suitor with a cup held out. Someone is leading with their heart. Enjoy the courtship, and check that the knight can also do dishes.
In love, reversed
Idealism that cannot survive contact: a charmer who disappears, moods that swing from devotion to distance, a romance more imagined than lived. Look for the person behind the gesture.
As feelings
Romantic interest is very much alive: they may be ready to make an offer, a declaration or a grand gesture. Their feelings lead and their head follows. It can be heady and flattering, and it is worth noticing whether their actions keep pace with their words.
As feelings, reversed
Intense one moment and distant the next, their feelings may run hot and cold. They might love the idea of romance more than the steady work of a relationship. Promises can be sincere when made yet hard for them to keep.

As the other person in a reading
They are romantic, sincere and about to make you an offer, or already making one. Expect charm with real feeling behind it. Receive it in the spirit given, then watch how it holds.
The other person, reversed
They are charming and unreliable right now, hot then cold, promising more than they deliver, or in love with an idea of you. Expect gestures. Wait for the horse to keep walking before you trust it.
