He loves her because she is the only woman he's met who does not flatter him and does not have an ulterior motive in her communications with him. She treats him as an equal and calls him out when she disagrees with his actions. His parents had an equal and loving marriage, so unconsciously, he was looking for his equal in mind, spirit, and actions.
Perhaps, also, he loves her because she is precisely not what he described as his ideal woman. She can not draw, can not speak several languages, and her piano skills leave much practicing to be desired.... her accomplishments are mediocre at best. Her figure is not fashionable and her manners are impertinent and unpolished. He is attracted by her differences to his ideal and captivated because she will not bow down in awe of him.
I like this match, because you can see them actually being married and believing that they will do well together. Hope this helps!

Because she is not pretentious or fake. She is everything Caroline Binghley is not. She is everything his cousin is not. She speaks her mind and does not succomb to the mindless people around her. She's also rather pretty and very intelligent.
I think you'll find a lot of hints in his discussion of accomplished females. She is everything he considers truly accomplished.

That seems like a question that you should explore yourself.
