Which of these sentences are correct:

1) There have been a lot of women who fell in love with him without him realizing it.


2) There have been a lot of women who fell in love with him and he didn't realize.

3) There have been a lot of women who fell in love with him but he didn't realize.

4) There have been a lot of women who fell in love with him and he didn't realize it.

5) There have been a lot of women who fell in love with him but he didn't realize it.

Gratefully,
Navi.

1) is the best but could be improved by changing past tense fell to present perfect have fallen. The others are not good.
