Well I usually don't like to talk about Shinji because apparently the way I understood his relationship with Asuka canonically isn't the way everyone else saw it.
Honestly, I don't mind because of a number of reasons: Asuka is a 14 year old girl whose "love interest" is most likely just a schoolgirl crush. Especially with Kaji. The man is a nice guy, it is suggested he would take her to fun places in Germany when taking care of her (which Asuka interprets as "dates"), but just because he cared about her as a guardian. It's like the little boy who has a crush on his teacher or nanny. Shinji is very similar. There could have potentially been an actual speck of love between the two were it not for Asuka's personality which drives him away and both of their depressive, semi-psychotic mindsets. Asuka may like Shinji, and he may even like her back (for her appearance, not personality), but Shinji's mind on other things revolving in his mind as well as his more strong attraction for Rei (because of HER personality)makes this relationship impossible.
Asuka needs someone to talk to and let out all the emotions she's been holding in ever since her mother died. She looks to Shinji as this person, but he rejects her.
It was this that caused Asuka to go down the spiral which led to her coma and madness afterwards.
I consider myself to be to Asuka what she wanted in Shinji. Someone to protect and nurture her, after all the things she had been through.
