The dwarves did not always not like Thingol. I mean, it was them that warned Elu Thingol of the coming of many evils and helped him stock up on weapons and stuff, not to mention how they helped in Doriath.
But they eventually killed Thingol because of the Nauglamir, which they thought Thingol got unfairly from some thief (Hurin), and his proud words (heck, he insulted the smiths while he was alone with them).
Still, I believe it is possible for an elf and a dwarf to "get along," especially in the fourth age, as both their races are dwindling and they have no choice. Unsavory, yes, but possible (though I, too, do not believe that Gimli fell in love with Galadriel; more like became devoted to her because she knew why he was sad about Moria and all).
