In my opinion, "I trust you" is a much larger compliment than saying "I love you." "I love you" is often used quite loosely and rarely means just what it says. In other words, those three words are taken largely for granted and are used with too much ease. It is much harder for a person to trust someone than it is to love them. People being as they are so quick to turn on one another, being able to trust someone often proves to be a difficult task. If someone told you that they trust you, then you have earned a special place of respect in their mind. Trust is an awesome thing and is much more difficult to find than what most identify with as love. Consider being trusted as the highest in compliments!

Yes - unless they say, "I'm in love with you", then the latter is a better compliment. It means that they love you and they trust you (it indicates a partnership between the two of you).

It depends if you would rather be trusted or loved. Also relative is the person saying it...your boss, your lover, your grandma...
They are both nice compliments, but must be put into context to measure a value.

I trust you is a compliment. I love you is not a compliment.

I reckon so, love is somthing that grows over time and you cant love without trust. Trust is somthing I need to have before I even think about love.

it definately depends on who is saying it. coming from a friend "I trust you" is much better. coming from a lover or a crush it's definately "I love you". it is possible to love people you don't trust. the trust is something that needs to be earned, don't you think?

It depends on the trustworthiness of the person giving the compliment.

id have to say it is because no one really can define love, since it means different things for everyone. everyone knows what trust is, and it means a lot to have someone else's trust.

Depends on who's giving it. If it's your partner, surely trust should be taken as read. Partner saying "I trust you" would certainly raise questions with me such as "why wouldn't you" or "what have I done or said to give you cause to make that statement" ??

I think I respect you comes first, If I don't respect someone, i can't trust or love them.
