Well, Krum is 17 and Hermione is 14, which is a rather large age
gap. However, we don't even know and can most likely presume that Hermione
and Krum haven't even kissed yet! And Hermione obviously means a lot
to Krum to be at the bottom of that lake, hence we can assume that his
feelings for her are genuine.

Krum commented that he had never met anyone like Hermione before, which
probably relates to her strength of character, her intelligence, her
frankness and honesty in dealing with other people, and most of all -
the fact that Hermione didn't drool over him like all the other girls
around the school. Krum was always followed by a group of females who
were impressed with him because he was famous and a Quidditch player,
but Hermione wasn't attracted or interested in him for those reasons
whatsoever. That set her apart from nearly all the other girls at
Hogwarts, and gave her a virtue that Krum obviously liked: if she was
going to like him, it was for who he was as a person and not because he
was famous.

If Krum was a player and interested in easy girls he could get away
with manipulating a lot, I don't think that he'd be interested in
Hermione. Because of that, I think that Krum is a good guy. Not to mention
the fact that Harry thought he was okay as well. Harry is a pretty good
judge of character - he nailed Draco Malfoy right away, for one thing.
