I really don't think Galadriel was amused with Gimli's affection; that would make him feel embarassed and childish. I think she was pleasantly surprised.
If I was Galadriel, with the weight of the world on my shoulders, I would be charmed, refreshed, and relieved of at least some of the worry and anxiety in my life.
Gimli's strong feelings for Galadriel (not a physical attraction, I agree) helped him to become softer-hearted and an all around better Dwarf for it.
Ah, love. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I know the feeling!
