Last couple of readings, I have been very struck by the description of Frodo's response to Goldberry-- including singing, blushing, stammering, and all that peircing joy, nearer to mortal hearts-- and secretly wondering if that's one reason that he was a bachelor ever after.
He doesn't respond to Galadriel or Arwen in anywhere near a similar fashion. Who's to know.
