Honestly, there's been nothing to suggest that Jean actually "loves" Mikasa.

Loving someone and having a crush are two entirely different things. Sure, Jean had an immediate attraction to her, complimenting her on her appearance, but we've seen little beyond that.

Frankly, I feel that his crush on her was little more than a plot device to help jumpstart his rivalry with Eren. It'd be healthier for him to move on from that and I think he already has.
