Child romances

No, not necessarily all that woohoo stuff, but maybe just a 'kiss cheek' or 'you look pretty' interaction.

It would be a great way to introduce one-sided relationships, romance could be increased independently by ‘Researching Sim’ (Facebook stalking them, basically) and ‘Gossip about Crush’ -> Because I know when I was in school I would talk about my crush with a friend, it would always elevate my perspective of them, even though the reality was something different. As well as the return of ‘Check out Sim’, to admire them from afar.
There should be some new romantic interactions (that could also be available for adults with the childish trait) such as: ‘Write/Give love letter’ and an awkward hand-holding scene etc. If applied to children, they could play 'pretend weddings' and/or 'talk about weddings' -> I remember doing both of these, demanding my crush at the time 'Marry me, have four kids and live in a magical, sparkly, pink castle!', poor guy.
As for moodlets, after getting a boyfriend: ‘Talk of the school’, a tense moodlet as they feel their classmates are gossiping about their relationship and ‘Power couple’, where everyone at school admires them together. If their crush gets a boy/girlfriend, there would be a ‘Too late’ moodlet and an immediate negative relationship with whoever their crush is dating.
There could be a new trait (Or in fact, the unflirty trait applied to pre-teen/children), where a sim is just not interested in romance. I was a rather boy-crazy child but I have plenty of friends who, even now at 18, have little interest in boys/girls and it was certainly that way when I was younger. The trait wouldn't make a romance impossible, just much harder to achieve, they could also get happy moodlets from being single 'Looking out for Number 1', and uncomfortable moodlets from being in a relationship, such as 'What now?' when they are unsure of how to act around their boyfriend. Some new interactions might be nice as well, like 'Convince that .... has cooties', it might also be much easier for them to reject romantic actions such as hand holding.
Celeb crushes could be a thing, by admiring posters of idols (much like the shirt with the boy-idol on it from ‘Kids stuff pack’). In the same way that children can build relationships with teddy bears, pre-teens could have celeb crushes. Of course if an actual fame/celebrity GP came out, this could be applied to that as well, for pre-teen stars.
Naturally there wouldn't be any heavy stuff for kids/pre-teens and they certainly wouldn't be 'messing around' in any closets, but they definitely should have some sort of romance.

Tsundere mock (mock a sim, even though you like them)
Pretend wedding
Kiss chase (obviously just a peck, kids do this sometimes)
Prince and Princess
Play mom and dad
Hold hands
Banish cooties
Share lunch
Pre teens (if added):
Reveal crush
Awkward hug
Awkward kiss
Arm around shoulder
Hold hands
Gaze at
Gush about crush (to a close friend)
Fake fall over (to get crushes attention)
Ask to dance
^This! Kids should look ill to each other when you play as them, like how they see the voidcritter machine stuff and the monster under the bed, lol.
An "ew" reaction when they see their parents kiss! I remember being grossed out when my parents kissed as a kid XD
I can totally relate to me and my first "boyfriend". We did:
Hold hands
Arm around shoulder for a "couple photo"
Awkward hug once
Hold hands
He would fake fall over ALL THE TIME
Like prince and princess, but Bill and Hillary Clinton
A really sweet and/or awkward First Kiss interaction, and yeah, that "You Look Pretty" one would be good additions. As would "Hold Hands", and even the ability to post love letters by clicking on that Sim's mailbox or front door!
Plus the ability to get cooties and for the Sim's friends to get really grossed out when they see their friend kiss that other Sim.
My first crush was about 3rd/4th grade, so it's definitely something I could realistically see in the game.
They shouldn't be real relationships, but there should be something.
