I was always under the impression that Elena’s love for Stefan happened too soon. It almost felt like he compelled her to fall in love with him. I was joking when I said that, but, as we see in the season3 finale, it was Damon. He compelled her to find what she wanted from life, from a relationship, from love. Yes, I believe what she feels for Stefan is genuine, I am not saying she loves him because of a compulsion, but my suspicion behind Stefan/Elena was right in a way. While I will always say that Stefan’s approach with Elena was all kind of wrong, what caught my attention was Elena and how she looked at him, as if he was some kind of god. I don’t believe in love at first sight, I don’t think S/E can fit into this category, he definitely had time to watch her from afar, for months. But now, I am having second thoughts, because it was infatuation at first sight, for Elena and we know why. Stefan represented everything she needed after her parents died. Something new, not tied to her old life. Someone who didn’t know the old Elena. A fresh start. Now, I think we should just deal with this and move on. Elena chose Stefan. But did she, really? I’ll get to that right behind the cut.
