Well like the question says, Did Kakashi ever love Rin or feel anything for
her?

I'm wondering if Kakashi ever loved or at least liked Rin. I'm wondering this
because he got the Mangekyou **after** he killed her. The Mangekyou is
initially awakened by the trauma suffered from witnessing the death of someone
**close** to the user. Meaning someone you love deeply.

Also in the flashbacks that either Minato, Kakashi, or Obito have it shows
that Kakashi was never rude or mean to Rin. Every time Kakashi was mean to
Obito, Rin always tried to make him go easy on him. Than Kakashi always
replied nicely to her, calming down his tone and speech pattern.

So my question is if Kakashi ever feels anything for Rin, either loves her or
at least cared for her.

As you already mentioned in your question,

But, it depends upon each individual and the amount of trauma felt by him/her
whether the Mangekyo is "completely" activated immediately, as in the case
with Obito, or after some time, as with Sasuke and Kakashi.

Obito loved Rin deeply, and thus the trauma suffered by him, on watching her
die, was catastrophic. Thus, he "completely" activated the Mangekyo
immediately. Rin was not just a team-mate of Kakashi but also a dear friend to
him who remained with both Obito and Kakashi since their childhood. So Kakashi
too had a good bonding and a feeling of friendship with Rin, but he did not
love her in the way as Obito did. That's why, Kakashi too activated the
Mangekyo at the time Obito did, although "momentarily", and also because of
his Sharingan's resonance with Obito's Sharingan (as both the Sharingan
belonged to Obito originally), as is shown in Episode No. 345 of Naruto
Shippuuden:

After this scene, Kakashi loses his conciousness owing to the stress put upon
him by the activation of Mangekyo. However, Obito goes on to kill the
Amegakure Shinobi (Ninja of the Rain village) because of his drive of emotions
deeply centred around Rin, and his complete activation of Magekyo.

Thus, you can say that Kakashi had feelings of friendship towards Rin, but not
the same as the feelings of love that Obito had.

Kakashi did love Rin, but due to his self aware attitude, having a girlfriend
is less important than completing missions and working as a team.

Kakashi loves Rin the same way Sasuke loves Sakura, but being a ninja comes
before having a relationship.
