In literature a 'foil' is a character that characterizes another character by contrast. A 'romantic foil' would simply be a foil in a romantic story, where the conflict and contrast have something to do with romance.

The classic example of a foil is Lucy Westenra and Wilhelmina Harker (Nee Murray) in the novel Dracula. Another classic example of a romantic foil would be Carmen and Micaëla.
