I think that Eowyn fell in love with the idea of Aragorn, the future king, but fell in love with Faramir as a man.

If you look at Eowyn's family background, she is sort of destined (before Aragorn's arrival) to live always behind the scenes. She couldn't go off and do great deeds herself, and though she had royal blood, she would never be a queen of Rohan or be able to do anything besides care for Theoden or her brother.

Therefore, when Aragorn arrived, she began to dream about his great deeds, and of becoming a queen. She didn't necessarily fall in love with Aragorn - she fell in love with his position and title, not to mention looks and courage.
