I find it more convincing that he cared about her, rather than loved her. Much like she also cared about him in return. Because that's what the heart is about, see pic related. Basic care, like compassion and understanding seems enough for me. Turning it into some twisted sort of romantic attachment from his side seems like a reach to me, but okay, MAYBE I can see it. At least Kubo never openly said what Ulquiorra thought of Orihime, unlike Ichigo and Rukia kek, so fangirls can rest easy believing their tragic romance and mind their own business.
