True, but their reasons are different.
I can imagine that for Hinata Naruto was strong when he faced those three kids back when they where really young. She was under lots of pressure since she was born, as a future clan leader she had to be. But it was shown in manga that she was lacking backbone and I imagine it was really hard for her. I think that when she first saw Naruto she was impressed, not because of his actual fighting skills, but spirit. She wanted to become just like him. Love for him came later, when she grew up.
For all we know, Sakura fell for Sasuke, because he was the coolest guy in the school.
Which is also why I prefer Hinata x Naruto over Sakura x Sasuke
