I quite agree with what Charly said!
Eowyn herself could of course not analyze her own feelings. For her, it was the first time she had ever felt so strongly for a man, so it was the one and only love, as she thought. It`s interesting that Aragorn himself saw quite clearly that "in me she loves only a shadow and a thought, a hope of glory and great deeds" As Estelyn said, he`s a very perceptive man. But Faramir is just as perceptive and has an extraordinary empathy ! He seems to understand Eowyn`s feelings better than she does herself! He sees that her love for Aragorn is a kind of hero-worsphip: "as a great captain may to a young soldier he seemed to you admirable" He doesn`t ask her to forget Aragorn: she can go on admiring him, he just makes her reognize her true feelings. I feel that Eowyn was very lucky to "get" Faramir. (Are there any men in this real world that are like him ? He`s really an ideal!!) He had "an air of nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps , yet also less incalculable and remote"
