The thing is, at least from what I've heard, that part of the translation appears to have been a translation error, and it also wasn't necessarily from the manga author himself either. Plus, I don't know how seriously we could take it anyways. Based on what we see in the manga, at least from Historia's perspective, it seems more like she mainly just sees her like a mother figure or at least a big sister (much like with Frieda Reiss). Of course, it could still end up turning out romantic.

We really don't have solid "proof" that she likes anyone in the romantic way, male or female. I'd argue that her blushing and smiling and looking away in response to Eren's little compliment is a possible "sign/hint" that she's starting to develop a thing for Eren (and it is a very realistic possibility indeed), but even that's not necessarily actual "proof", and most will even say something like it was just a plain expression she would have had no matter who it was complimenting her, but we don't know if that's all it was either.
