When Gourry "saved" Lina from a gang of bandits, he thought he was saving a pretty girl, not "some flat-chested little kid"(as he put it.) But after meeting Lina and seeing that she was all by herself, he decided to make it his duty in life to be her protector(not that Lina needs a protector.) Throughout all of their adventures, Lina and Gourry became inseparable comrades.
Anyone who knows Gourry knows that he's not exactly the brightest candle on the cake, so to speak. The poor guy usually doesn't have a clue about what's going on nor what Lina and the others are talking about. But when it comes to fighting with his Sword of Light, Gourry is quite skilled. He obviously loves Lina, but I think it's just his undying stupidity that keeps him from realizing his own feelings.
