rich to say arya is not romantic when she has her tiny cute personal set of morals affection and way of loving someone not based on stories songs or physical feature but more like the way she spends time with someone opens up and gets to know them and vice versa. arya didn't have female friends or someone so close only to her which could share with her stories of knights in armour to save her. she made her own way and is her own knight in armour which really finishes the need for someone to find her only if she can too. arya's love for her father ned to rather bring him flowers and ruin her dress rather than wait for someone to bring her flower and tuck it behind her ear... is so unique and different. she also being bullied or made fun of her facial features given names, would never resort to do the same or like someone purely of their face. she likes outcasts and different people. gendry and jon snow are again good examples. she sees interacts and changes opinions about anyone so she isn't fixated or stubborn. she forgets and let goes too. also if someone like arya who has more ample suitable personality which fulfills the "family duty honor" mantra of her house, more than catelyn, or any other starks, she has more dedication loyalty nobility and love for her people and even her friends like hotpie & weasel, SO how can we or should i say arya antis conclude the same arya would or can not love someone in romantic passionate all loving way or manner too if she does....same for just some friends? arya is also young so this leaves large space to cover and see how grrm steers her story in future but she is the most unique female character bent away from traditionally feminine roles of love and duty. she carves her own path. her gesture of bringing flowers for ned and keeping jon's gift of needle so close to her shows she also finds stability and security and protection in material or physical comforts. arya also has drastically diff love language if we overall notice. she spends time with ppl and doing acts of service or physical work is more of her way to tell someone she is fine with them then just relying on verbal sweet affirmations. love and romance are so broad. and arya strives to like and protect any animal individual or hobby of hers. hard to believe she CANNOT love or find love.
