1. "Me gustas" (I like you)
2. "Te quiero!" (I love you in a soft and general way like "Luv ya")
3. "Te amo" (I love you, very strong and intimate)

People that speak english oftenly confuse this as 'I love you' thats becuse has no specifically meaning, is something that you can translate, but you can interpretate. Its like saying a friendly I love you, you can say that to a friend or someone that you just are talking with that can evolve into something. its to demostrate that you care for them and appreciate them.

Native Spanish speaker here.
Directly translated as “I want you” but it is often used as a casual “I love you” among Spanish speakers. Usually used with parents, siblings, friends, etc.
Meanwhile “Te Amo” is considered very intimate and usually only used with a partner. Even then it may only be said sparingly or during intimate moments such as the first time someone says I love you. Spanish speakers usually revert back to using “te quiero” or even saying “i love you” if both parties speak mostly English

I’m adding a definition as a Spanish Speaker.
Te quIero is I love you but is something you would say to your mom , dad, son, daughter or anyone you wouldn’t be sexually intimate With while Te amo is romantic and sexual love you would say to a spouse or love interests.
