well if this is about you why dont you be a little more up front about it and give a little bit more detail so maybe someone on here can give you some good advice, or is this just a general question?
Did this conversation occur in between and argument or was it a question from out of the blue? Depends on the context too. It also sounds like this guy might not be looking for commitment in relationship. The words, 'I love you' usually connotates seriousness in a relationship and he might not be ready, or looking for commitment.
Well, I am a little confused about the context of this question but heres what it made me think of:
Depending on the situation, saying something to insinuate that the "i love you" wasnt genuine is often used to hurt you because they are feeling hurt by the surrounding circumstances. Without any details I cant really say for sure - but it just reminded me of a time where the guy's response was specifically to hurt me because of the situation.
Depends of the context, and that guy's personality...
@GenTIEmEn01: Yes and no. There's two possibilities (as far as I know, but perhaps more): He's immature, or he can't believe that someone loves him, because he's used to be rejected by the others, and so he thinks you're joking
Well this is a hard one. I have been with my wife for 10 years (total dating and wed.) I have a bit of experience. I would say if you tell someone you love them and they don't want to hear that you really need to look into how the relationship is going. Is this a friend relationship or do you really think you can make it a romantic one.
Some guys and girls alike just want a friendly relationship or a "friend with benefits" and they are shallow and saying I love you back some how makes things feel more serious. If this is the case get out now.
Now on the other hand, if he or she has had trouble being loved in the past, it might just be something they are not use to. In this case show them all the love you can, show them it is real, pray for it. They will come around if they truly love you as well. If not time to move on.
Love is a 2 way street, you both need to put in an effort.

If you told a guy you're dating this then that guy is being immature about this. I would consider having a talk with him as to why he said that.
