Prometheus "Shavid"

So I was reading into the Prometheus movie, and found a lot of controversy about David's "admiration" with Elizabeth. The winning side in the arguement is that David is starting to "feel" something towards Elizabeth. My opinion, is it's  big MAYBE David could or is starting to feel something for Elizabeth. I say that because of his actions in the movie. When the crew woke up David was by her side the whole time while she was barfing, calming her, and he didn't check on the others even though they were also barfing. Even before they woke up, he would watch her dreams, and I'm assuming he watched no one elses. After her c-section, when she stumbled into the room Weyland was in, David got up quickly and went over to her and put his coat around her and helped sit her down, which he didn't have to do considering the fact other people were in the room and would have taken care of her. And later we find out he carried Elizabeth's cross necklace, which is unusual, especially the time  he carried it, on a dangerous journey, knowing what might happen. After the ship crashed crashed, he contacter her, telling her he was afraid she was dead, and seemed highly relieved she was alright. To me David is starting to feel emotions, he just doesn't know how to react about them. He says he doesn't know what want is, but he seems to feel it, as he stated he'd like to see Weyland die so he can be free. He stated also that he was disappointed in his creater, which is also a feeling. Then when he stated he was afraid Elizabeth wasn't alive, to me it shows that he does feel, if he cared so much for her well-being. So to me, he is starting to feel something for Elizabeth. Plus he started calling her by her first name, and not the others. So it seems he feels, but is unaware of it, nor doesn't know how to respond to it. And to me one reason he could be "feeling" something for her is that she never teased him or rubbed it in in a rude manner about him being not human. So a "Shavid" possibility? Perhaps so.
