Although I personally believe that romance is one of the easiest elements to write, it is important not to overdo it. Sometimes, minimalising stuff makes the scene even more meaningful, and it can express many other sentiments, such as the restraints that are holding the protagonists back, or perhaps they are not supposed to be together.
Unless you're writing an erotic novel or you're describing the scene in non-fiction, don't get into all the gory details and take into consideration the audience that you will be writing for.
If you experience some difficulty in finding the right scenario, take inspiration from couples in the streets, other great romance novelists such as Jane Austen or Emily Bronte, or even from your own love life or romantic desires - it always helps to really understand what the character is going through.
