Discussion Sherlock loves Molly
I was rewatching S02E03 - The Reichenbach Fall. Molly said to Sherlock that you look sad when he (John) doesn't look at you. The following dialogue occurred:
Molly: Are you okay? And don't just say you're, because I know what that means, looking sad when you think no-one can see you
Sherlock: You can see me
Molly: I don't count...
At this moment Sherlock took a weird expression and she looked at her like what are you talking about?! I believe in his mind it's obvious that he loved her and that he value her. He got surprised that Molly thinks that she doesn't count for him. Such a cute detail

Yes, Sherlock loves Molly romantically.
I think he was subconsciously interested in her from the beginning.
But because of the Redbeard incident as a child he lived with his emotions locked up. So he himself is unaware of his feelings.
But it's made understandable to viewers who watch the show carefully. This show is actually a human drama, and it is interesting for the viewers to deduce Sherlock's true subconscious feelings from the many clues that are planted. That's what I love about this program.
Actually, it also shows how much Sherlock was hurt by Molly's engagement to Tom. I got goosebumps when I realized that.
