I believe that Gimli felt love for her in a way that he wouldn't have towards, say, Legolas or any other guy-elf. So, yeah, it wasn't total platonic admiration, but I don't think he even began to form sexual fantasies or anything like that. She was too far above him for that...kind of like his own personal Elbereth Gilthoniel.
Celeborn certainly never seemed very threatened by him, at any rate. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
