I disagree with what TUSF has said, from what I've seen I interpret her feelings as more maternal than romantic. Alice feels reponsible for Kirito, she sees herself as his protector and sees him as her responsibility as she blames herself for his condition. Her "jealousy" over Kirito's relationship with Asuna is because Asuna is claiming Kirito as her own and she doesn't like the idea of someone else taking care of him and helping him recover. Her annoyance at Ronye can be attributed to the same thing. I agree that she's shown more than just admiration and loyalty (though Kawahara listed other things too), but I also don't think it was anything that contradicts what he's said.
