What to answer to te quiero?
the standard way to reciprocate this feeling would be “yo también te quiero” (lit I love / like you too). If you don't want to reciprocate that, just say “Gracias” (lit. thanks) or just smile and let the awkwardness wash over you both.
Literally translated to, “I want you,” te quiero is most appropriate for expressing love to family, close friends, or significant others. Breaking it down even further, “querer” is like saying friends, cousins – hence the less romantic nature of this phrase.
But te quiero is actually the most common way to say “I love you” in Spanish! Since its literal translation is “I want you,” it may sound a bit strong to native English speakers. In Spanish, however, it has a lighter connotation of love and care. Friends and relatives frequently say “te quiero mucho” to one another.
