Cover art for Romantic Type lyrics by Pigeon Detectives, The

well i thought it meant something like: this guy is singing about girls in general. he is kind of flippant and unpredictable, and they all think "they know him" (because they want to date him) but they don't. girls fancy him,he dates them, but only for sex: and once they've realized he's a user, they "look at the floor." Bus he doesn't care that they've all realized he's a user, because they've already "paid at the door" (as in, they've already slept with him).

Hence him not being the "romantic type". he isn't looking for love or relationships. "Well I know that you want something and you want it from me" (they want commintment). He says back to them: "Would paying once or maybe twice be really such a crime?" basically, he says; well we can date eachother, but i want regular fun and sex (paying once or twice)

well thats just the vibe a got from this song; a commitment-phobe who messes around with girls. they want him to settle, but he just wants fun.

what do you think? :)
