If it was someone I had known for a long time and spent a long time together, I would probably say "I love you too. You are like a very dear sister to me. That's why I always I'm looking forward to spending time with you."
If it were someone I barely knew on the internet, I would completely ignore it. This would be a scam.

If you really don’t love someone, never tell him that you love him. What are the benefits of this? Making them feel good by believing lies won't do either of you any good, and it's pointless because sooner or later the truth will become apparent (and more painful). Be honest, be gentle, be firm. Always, always tell the truth.

It depends on where you are in the relationship. If you think this is a relationship that will work out, put your arms around her. If she straight up asks you "Do you love me?" just say I'm really not sure how I feel right now, but I know I want to stick with it and find out.

This actually happened to me. I can feel that he likes me. But I just ignored that for a while and went on about my business. We live in the same apartment building.
Then one afternoon he walked up to me in person, face to face. Say, "I like you very much and I need to tell you that I really love you. I want to take this to the next level."
At this point, I was taken aback and caught off guard. I did nothing to encourage his feelings for me. I kept my distance and didn't do anything to give him the wrong feeling that a relationship was possible. I had to think fast, he was my neighbor after all.
I responded, "Oh, that's fine. I didn't know you felt this way about me. But I need to be honest with you. I'm divorced. My marriage was a nightmare. I've decided that I'm Don't want to be in a new relationship with anyone, probably never. I've decided to stay single and free. I really hope you understand and I hope we can continue to be good neighbors. ?”
he claims he understands. We have remained good neighbors since then. I made sure he understood that nothing had changed. I continued to keep my distance. I made sure he understood!

I don’t know why people make a big deal out of it when someone tells them they love you. Just accept it and if you're not ready to say it, that's okay, just talk about it and if they really love you, they will understand and wait for you. This is a relationship where you will have disagreements but you will figure out how to work them out. So just talk about it, just accept beautiful art, just wait for your love for them, it's not that hard.

It depends on the situation. What if I am in an exclusive relationship and I haven’t reached that point yet? This is an awkward moment for me because I actually don't say it casually, but I can almost count on one hand the number of times I've said "I love you" to people other than my parents.
I wouldn't say this out of pressure or embarrassment, and when it came out of nowhere and I didn't reply, it effectively ruined the night.
Now, what if I'm not specific to them and they say this? I know a friend of mine said this, and I literally just squint at them and say, "What do you want?" It's a question and also gives the other person a chance to respond in case they're out of something. reasons, but now they know what my thoughts are.
In situations like this, I usually give the other party a chance so they can take a step back with their pride in mind.
To me, it's always important to give the other person a chance to reduce the chance of things becoming more tense, awkward, and argumentative.

Oh boy, that’s a tough question. There's no doubt that it's super embarrassing when this happens. But the best thing for both parties is to say something, and say it quickly. This must be a bad place. But the longer you wait, the more they'll think it's okay to feel this way, and the more they'll tell you, which will lead to you feeling more awkward and uncomfortable. Telling others this is difficult for both parties. It won’t be a pleasant conversation, but the sooner the better. There must be some reason why this person feels this way, I would evaluate this as well and avoid it in the future. People don't fall in love with someone for no reason unless that person is a crazy kind of person. Anyway, I would explain to them in the nicest possible way why you don't feel that way. If you do care about this person, I would tell them all the things you do like about them, but tell them you just aren't there yet. Love is a serious and deep emotion, and even though you know it hurts to hear it, you care enough about them to tell them, and don't mislead them. You care about them enough not to lie. If you feel like you can love them in some way, I'd tell them that too. It’s crazy how people throw the words I love you around these days. This was a real eye-opener for me.

Alas. I'm in this situation right now and honestly it stresses me out more than your situation.
I recently started dating someone. God, he was so different. He is two years younger than me. I've never dated anyone younger than me. He told me he loved me after our first kiss. I looked at him like he was crazy and said "What?" He said "I love you". So I asked "How can you love me? We just met." He said "I can fall in love with someone instantly. I once had strong feelings for a woman I saw on the bus."
But as I As I got to know him, I noticed that his form of love was so unique. He would always make me breakfast, despite my protests that I didn’t need anything. He went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable around him. He keeps trying to treat me to dinner lately, even though I tell him I've already eaten in advance. I passed on my love of wine to him and now he loves it. Whenever I come over, he lights candles in the room. I treated him to a mango pizza and he was very excited.
Although I didn't say "I love you" back to him, I do believe that he is a sensitive and loving person. I often tell him "I like you very much" and he replies "Why don't you say you love me?" I say "Because I don't love you yet". He said, "Are you sure you don't love me?"
If you don't feel it, don't say "I love you." The time will come. Saying it when you feel will make more sense than saying it when prompted.
