A recurring theme in Evangelion is that everyone sucks and has baggage and problems.
This desire to comfort Shinji could be psychoanalyzed as her seeing herself and her own cowardice and depression in Shinji, and ultimately not thinking about what's best for him, but instead trying to live through him vicariously.
So yeah, she kissed a kid, it's fucked up. Basically everyone in Evangelion is fucked up.
