Its just a matter of time before Stefan recognizes his deep feelings for Caroline, if he hasn’t so already. In the episode 11 we see some emotions from Stefan that is definitely not in the friend zone.. the way he connected with her.. almost as if he was holding in his real feelings for her, because it would be inappropriate.. simply beautiful acting btw ! !
Of course it is one thing to recognize it and quite another to navigate them and come to a point where he KNOWS and admits to himself that Caroline is THE one PERFECT WOMAN for him !!! But when it does happen…ITS GOING TO BE EPIC ! ! ! STEROLINE ALL THE WAY ! !
