On some level he could have but I really don't think he was capable of loving anyone or anything other than torturing and killing.
 
I'm thinking in a way...He cared for her..She made him for crying out loud...I think he loved her passion for causing pain and destroying stuff...But i don't think a massive bad ass like angelus could love anyone or anything but torture...As rayne said...So i am gonna go with no...but if there was an in a way i would go for that...
 
I don't think Angelus loved her, In season to there is debate over it, and he says for the most part that he never loved her. She left him to die and fend for himself in France. I wouldn't call that love. Maybe an over-powering lust.

On the otherhand I think that Angel loved Darla quite a bit
 
Well Angel already answered the question if Angelus loved Darla in S2 I believe and I agree with him.

Angelus didnt love Darla, they just had passion and lust when it came to them.
 
Darla: "But you can escape. You can escape it all. Remember what it was like to get lost, huh? Every thought a million miles away, every part of you being alive! All you have to do is let me give you one little moment of happiness."
Angel: "You took me places, showed me things, huh? You blew the top off my head. But you never made me happy."
Darla backs away from him: "But that - that cheerleader did? We were together 150 years! We shared everything. You're saying - never?"
Angel: "You couldn't understand."
Darla: "I understand alright. (Walks away from him) Guy gets taste of something fresh and he thinks he's touching god."
Angel: "It wasn't about..."
Darla: "Oh, you bet your ass it was! There was a time, in the early years, when you would have said I was the definition of bliss! - Buffy wasn't happiness. - She was just new!"
 
As Angelus:
I think Angelus enjoyed the opportunity to impress Darla with his sadism. He wanted a witness to his savage artwork, that he didn't feel compeled to kill or drive away afterwards

As Angel (S2 and 3):
Angel: 'loved' her in the sense that he knew her well, and cared for her wellfare. It wasn't romantic love, it was love from understanding; the kind of love you can have for any human being. It is accentuated by the need Darla had for someone who understood her, especially when she was (briefly) human again.

At least, this is the impression I get.
 
No, as Khaych said. Darla was more like an audience then a partner.
 
I don't think he was capable of loving. When he slept with Darla in series 2 I think he realised how much he cared about her but I don't think Angelus loved her. Angel might have, Angelus definately not!
