Yes, specially the song Now And Then... Lovely!  Anathema songs off the album Alternative 4, Judgement and Natural Disaster ( Are You there, Harmonium, Fragile Dreams) had its share of romanticaly melodic songs, I'm sure you will dig.

I'd recommend Days of Future Passed by the Moody Blues, Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson, and, er, uh...Heavy Horses. By Jethro Tull. Yeah.

How about..... GENESIS
the most romantic of the original 70's prog giants.
almost the entire Gabriel era is cast in a wistful romantic vein, with varying motifs of melancholy

I'd say Camel had their fair share of romantic songs.
I also agree with the Harmonium recommendations.

Perhaps King Crimsons first four albums? As well as Yes' first two albums. Theres also bands like Jade Warrior and early Caravan. You should probably check out the Canterbury scene.

Hi!
I'm new to prog and at the moment I'm searching for bands that play a slow, balladsy style with romantic melodies. Is there something like that, that you could recommend me?

Guitarist Stephen Caudel might be of interest.Tends to get pigeon holed as 'New Age' but his best album Earth In Turquoise is very prog in style and has that melodic/romantic style that I guess you are into.

I agree with the Harmonium recommendation
Some other recommendations:
Holderlin - Holderlin's Traum. Beautiful prog folk from Germany. Lovely female vocals.
Sigur Ros - ( ). Very melancholic post-rock. Lovely piano.

Definitely: Pendragon
Almost everything by them has a romantic and very melodic feeling. Nice music when you're alone with girls.
