It's never actually indicated that these feelings are romantic though. He's struck at the sight of various individuals, including Ilya. Particularly for Saber, who represents many different things to Shirou, these feelings could be any of number of things for Archer.

That's not to say I am DISCOUNTING that Archer has romantic feelings for Saber but I do reject it as an exclusive interpretation. Certainly if that's the case, they're not his priority ever.
Is Saber rejecting Archer when he was alive canon or is that just my headcanon?
Spoiler:
that's something you made up
Good to know, I was honestly confused there.
Spoiler:
The funny part is how Shirou had a crush on Rin and when Archer got summoned, he doesn't even remember her name.
Well, they aren't his priority, no.
Although I am aware that Archer=/= Fate timeline gone screwy, I feel like the events in Fate give basis to the notion that Shirou's life-long Fate feelings for Saber are similar for Archer, even if they've become a bit more jaded. That's personal interpretation, I suppose, but I don't think that it's an interpretation out of line with the way Archer responds to Saber.
Well crushes are usually rather forgettable, especially after you spend an eternity machineing around.
He did keep her pendant so even if he forgot the name I think he never forgot the person.
I mean Archer clearly remember Ilya, there's no way he doesn't remember Rin
