i can't think of anything rn but i'll try to. also it's totally possible to know you're aroace when you're 11, and even if you do change your mind later, that's still perfectly fine!

Well, since you asked, I'll venture my thoughts :) I think that if you're eleven, it's too soon to make decisions about your romantic inclinations. Kids are aroace by definition. If they weren't, it would be socially acceptable for kids to date. There's a reason that we humans wait until our teens to start having a romantic life... There's a biological reason for this, as well. Physical attraction to others, and the resulting feeling of love, are driven by reproductive hormones, which start to be released at adolescence. It's true that people can feel romantically toward someone even before the typical starting age of adolescence, but that depends on your temperament, culture, sex (I think girls tend to get romantic feelings about someone much more than boys do), and many other factors. If you're eleven and you've never felt romantically about anyone, it just means you're a perfectly normal kid. In fact, you can go through your entire life without having romantic feelings for anyone, and it still doesn't mean you're incapable of doing so.  Love is something particularly unique and special, and you don't feel it (in a romantic sense) for just anyone. If you never meet "the one," you may never fall in love at all.

I think another difficulty with this sort of thing is the way the media portray love. They make it seem as if, when you fall in love, you instantly and constantly feel strong physical attraction to the person. I'm sure that's got a lot to do with it, but there's much more to it than that, and even if you do feel attraction, I don't think it's always as overwhelming as books and movies tend to show. Just because you've never had the experience of meeting someone and instantly feeling a magical tingle as your gazes meet, and feeling hot and cold alternately as your hands brush against each other, and practically fainting when you move a few steps closer to each other, it doesn't mean you're aroace.

Anyway, wait a few more years and then see how you feel. Hopefully, you'll have a long and wonderful romantic life ahead of you... there's plenty of time :)
