Well the direct translation is not the correct definitionbut here is the breakdown. "Te" means I, or myself am, or i'm.
"Quiero" means to want, wants, to have, or to possess or have in ones possession.
In the Spanish language often more than not the literal translation is not used much insted the translation is more defined as the atypical use or common use.
In this case "Te quiero" means I love you or I want to be with you and or have you as mine In a relationship since.
In my opinion being multi lingual and knowing the multiple different Spanish's that are used in every different Spanish culture he ment it as "I love you, I feel love for you, or I deal I am beginning to fall for you" now in the time frame he was using it in he ment and this is the official answer either " I love you, or am falling in love with you". So how long have you known him?
"I love you"
I'm dominican too by the way, and I must tell you keep your eyes peel if you ever date one of us.
There are 2 ways to say "i love you" in spanish: te quiero and te amo. Te amo works the same as I love you in English while te quiero is a less intense way to say it. You can say that to your friends. Couples usually tell each other that at first, when they already have feelings for each other but not enough to say te amo. But if you don't know each other that well, its still a very clingy thing to say, in my opinion.
In Spanish there are two levels of 'I love you'. There is 'te quiero' which is I care about you and I genuinely like you as a person, this can be said to friends, family, people you date.
But 'te amo' is the strongest and is the equivalent of the English 'I love you'. Now that's a big deal.
Although 'te quiero' is already something great.
Hope that helped girl and good luck with your Dominican guy! : )
it means i want you, i love you. in latin countries it's used more loosely than "i love you" in the west. it's more like "i enjoy you"

Hey, I happen to be dominican and even if the phrase literally translates into "i want you", people use to describe faint romantic feelings. Less intense than love, more about "liking" someone and caring for them.
Well, there isn't really an exact translation in English. It's sort of like love but not as strong. You can use it with friends, family or romantic interests. But for actual love you would say 'Te amo'. So, I think that when he says it he means to say that he likes you a lot. But don't worry he's not saying he loves you, at least not yet. :)
I want you (in a romantic sense)
congrats, he wants you baddddddd
It can also mean "I want you," but generally it does indeed mean "I love you."
"I want you", literally, but in the sense of love ("amor"), it works too
Meh.
He does mean he wants or even love you.
:\
It does work as love, but it literally translates to 'I want you', I think. Basic Spanish here :P
It means I want you, but is more of a casual-friendly I love you
no it means he wats you. Querer is to want in Spanish and its in the 1 form talking to you (te)
It's a way to say "I love you" but to friends or family. If he said te amo, that means he's truly in love with you
I think it means I like you, as in, I find you attractive.
It also means "I want you"
I want you or I love you
