Here's what we can say:
* Dawn and Misty both expressed some degree of interest in Ash. Dawn was clearly flustered by Ash's attention and often blushed around him. Misty, while more playful and teasing, also showed moments of affection, like when she was upset by a misunderstanding about Ash and another girl.
* However, the anime never explicitly confirms these feelings as romantic. The focus remains on their friendship and their shared adventures.
* The anime doesn't shy away from exploring romantic subplots. Examples include Brock's numerous crushes and the development of relationships for other characters like May and Drew.
So, it's up to interpretation. The anime leaves room for viewers to believe that Dawn and Misty may have had crushes on Ash, but it never directly confirms it.
