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.

Example:
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.

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.
Example:
Te quiero mama!
Te quiero papa!
Te quiero
hijo (son)!
Versus
Te amo my wife
Te amo let’s get married
