There are two solutions that I can think of:

1. You can write in 3rd Omniscient. The upside is that the reader sees more than just the main character's thoughts. The downsides are that (a) the reader sees everyone's thoughts, and (b) it's incredibly difficult to do well.

2. You can write in 3rd Limited, but not only from the main character's POV. In one scene, it would be the MC, and in the next (for example) it would be the romantic interest's POV. This allows for other people's perspectives without getting everyone's perspective, and you can pick and choose whose eyes you see through. You do have to be careful to limit yourself to only the necessary perspectives, though, and not throw twenty different POV characters at the reader.

Good luck!
