Does Stefan even love Caroline?

So, I think it's Paul giving like 50% in the Steroline scenes, but honestly, I have never bought for one second that Stefan was really in love with Caroline and thought he found his soulmate (or whatever BS they're trying to hammer down).

When he was with Elena, you could tell that he truly loved her and there was just more energy and spark in his scenes. Paul actually gave 100%.

While as when we watch Steroline scenes, Candice is the one giving 110% with the excitement and the gushing and her typical nervous energy, and it somewhat makes up for Paul's lack of enthusiasm but it's really not selling Steroline as endgame for me.

I mean, come on, the proposal scene? Wtf. We got more of a magical, romantic vibe from that AU/vision Stelena engagement scene than we did for a real proposal between Steroline. I can't believe Stefan was like "do I really have to say it". You're proposing...? Of course you do! What kind of unromantic, passionless crap was that

A rose is just a rose.

I don't think they have great chemistry, honestly and i'm not sure why it doesn't work. Candice has AMAZING chemistry with other actors she worked with (her and Klaus -- HOT!!!!) and so has Paul so something just doesn't work there for some reason.

When I watch them together, I feel like they look at each other like they're each other's consolation prize. Not their top choice.

Hot guys + dark subject matter + plenty of violence = watchable television.

I agree. I think that he is still hooked on Elena even when she isn't there anymore. He still loves her and the love for Caroline isn't there. I thought it was too soon anyways for Stefan to go after somebody. I actually enjoyed Caroline and Stefan in season five and called them hooking up. But I'm disappointed with how it turned out.
