i love you, or i want you

Hi, I think it depends on the nationality of the speaker. I am from Spain and when a persons says "Te quiero" here it means I love you in a romantic way. "Te amo" for us is a bit corny, like soap opera language, and it is not commonly used here. When you "want" someone, you say "Te deseo".
Now, I have been living in the States for 8 years now and I have had the chance to meet several LatinAmerican guys along the years and, watch out, I have found that "Te quiero" for them is a mere "I want you". When they really want to say "I love you" romantically speaking, they use "Te amo".
Hope this helps!

Yes, Te Quiero means "I Love You", just as everyone has stated here. However, it is more a casual love, an affectionate term, said amongst friends.
Technically - it does mean I want you, but it is written or expressed from one friend to another usually, in the way that means I love you. (Geesh.)
Te Amo is "I Love You" in the more formal sense.
What a wife would say to her husband, for example.

It means I want you. That's slightly different to "te amo" which means I love you.
