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.

Spanish for "I love you" If you are saying a whole sentences in Spanish and use it, it sounds very cheesy and soap opera like. Advice: Use "te quiero" instead...

Literally means "I want you" in spanish, but doesn't always mean that one wants you. While in English one can change from "I like you" to "I love you", Spanish speakers usually has three transitions:
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)
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)
1. During class, Tom whispered "Me gusta esta nina" to his best friend while glancing at the girl in front of the class. (I like that girl)
2. Ligia shrieked "Julia! Gracias! Te quierooo!" hugging her friend hard. Julia gave her a CD of her favorite artist.
3. John nervously looked deeply into Alicia's eyes, who he was dating for one year already, and said "Alicia... Te amo mucho!" and then kissed her tenderly after seeing her shocked but happy face.

Te amo is Spanish for I love you, however, Spanish has two phrases that translate to the English I love you. The two are not identical and cannot be used interchangeably. The difference is that te amo is said only to close loved ones, and means a deep or profound love (amo - the verb amar means love). Te quiero is used more casually, and actually translates as I want you (quiero - the verb querer means want). Having two phrases for I love you is not only useful, but kinda cool, as saying I want you is definitely sexier than saying I love you.
