I use both of the terms, although I use them independent of one another.
For me, "-I like you a lot" means you are a very dear friend to me, and I do not have a romantic interest in you.
In contrast for me, "I love you" means "You are the one for me on every level. You are perfect, because You are imperfect. I would sacrifice my life to spare yours." ((La la la...*sigh*))

 Take it at face value, nothing more. There's no guarantee he's about to say 'I love you', and considering it's been a year and he still hasn't, I don't think he's into this relationship as much as you are. It's understandable if you were only together a few months, but after a year he should be comfortable enough to say it by now. There's no reason for him to be scared at this point. However, 'I like you a lot' brings to mind another saying people like to use; 'I love you, but I'm not in love with you.' You need to speak with him about this, see where the relationship currently stands.

I am currently seeing someone for 3 months who has said 'I love you a little bit' but then we only see each other twice a week. Do you love him and have you ever told him?
Men have these sayings...'I like you a lot' 'I care about you' I love you a 'little' bit Us women...we say what we mean and mean what we say. Men and their fear of emotion!
