Default Romeo and Juliet

What is the meaning of 'Reminds of Romeo and Juliet' and 'It might do for an Englishman but it won't do for me'?

'Reminds of Romeo and Juliet'- they are one of the most famous examples of young love, so I presume that there is some comparison to that going on.
'It might do for an Englishman but it won't do for me'- presumably yhe person has higher standards than the English- don't know who it is or why.
