B says: I love you too. A: nice to meet you. B: nice to meet you too. Whereas also is used to add something that the same person do. Hockey is my favorite game. I also like football. Both are used to "add" but too adds someone/something in a list that contains a common job while also is used to add jobs that the same person etc do all. i think:

A: nice to meet you.
