I don't know why everyone talks about "love triangles"

In the film it's never explicitly shown that Legolas was in love, or that he was afraid to loose her to a dwarf. The only thing that Thranduil says is that he has grown very fond of her. In a way what we see in the films is just an elf prince and his female friend. He obviously initially didn't want Tauriel to be with a dwarf because, pretty much like his father thought of it, it seemed wrong. But that changed through the course of these movies, when he is faced with the decision of either helping Tauriel and the dwarves or following his duty as the king's son.
For me there was no romance between Tauriel and Legolas. In this last movie he didn't even have a problem when Tauriel wanted to go help Kili in Ravenhill. And in his last fight with Bolg, it seemed like he just wanted revenge. It wasn't really an act of love. For me the only romance was the between Tauriel and Kili, no one more. For me their relationship is more like brother and sister than just a romance. I think people just keep insisting on the "love triangle" thing just because they don't like the added character's to the story.
Sometimes the internet can be poisonous. Many people don't even try to reach their own conclusions because is easier to believe what other people say. Even if Evangeline Lilly refers to it as a love triangle for me there's no such thing.
