Explication

Encantar is already superlative: me encanta, never *me encanta mucho. For people, gustar means attraction — telling a friend me gustas declares interest, not friendship.

Querer is the everyday love verb across relationships; amar is intense and mostly romantic (or solemn). Caer bien covers 'I like him' as a person: me cae bien tu hermano.
