>I’ve never felt romantic attraction and I’d like to experience it one day. Could this be possible, or is it just science fiction?

That's more likely to be altered with chemicals rather than surgery.

It's also possible you have felt it but weren't able to recognize or label the emotion properly. That's also common.

if aromantic the pathways for the feelings of "romance" could still be found and stimulated or even, simulated.

Indeed. To make a coding analogy: The feeling might be like a functional line of code of their program that nothing else is referencing.
