Sory, but Aragorn was around 80 at the time! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Seiously though, I never thought of it as love that Eowyn felt, she neve had a chance to get to know Aragorn, so the most she could have felt was a schoolgirl type crush, with little or no real emotion behind it. IMO she saw him a a noble way out of the trap that she felt her life had become. She didn't run off to war simply because he didn't love her, she did it because of her own character and courage, and desire to prove that she was as good as any man of the Rohirrim.
I'm not denying her courage or anything like that.
When she met Faramir, and got to know him, then true love blossomed, something I don't feel she ever had for Aragorn.
Besides all that, if she and Aragorn had got together, things would have turned disastrous when he finally fell off the extremely high pedestal the Eowyn had put him on. She'd have probably ended up wanting to do him in with his own sword. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
