He was clearly in Assault Mode when he first met Elizabeth on the battlefield. So he can't love because of his emotionless mode. However, he can't hate either because of his Commandment's effect.

Due to what Meliodas said in Chapter 315, I believe Meliodas taunted/underestimated Elizabeth (just like he did Escanor in Assault Mode when he believed he still had the Commandment of Love which meant he didn't hate Escanor), but Elizabeth instead dealt a blow to him which heavily shocked him and found her interesting afterwards. Due to them possibly battling again and again seriously, they might have fallen in love with each other during a battle and decided to end the fight because none of them could come out victorious and they could instead have relationship goals.
