How would you feel ....
How would you feel if your significant other said that your approval means the world to me ?
For example:
your significant other asks your opinion on something
Then you give your honest opinion and say you approve of it
And then your significant other says "thank, your approval means the world to me"
What does it mean when someone says that ? And how would you feel if someone said it to you?

Maybe give some free advice about: What does it mean??
It could just be a highly emotional expression which is a bit over the top. You can't decide what it means when "someone" says that. You have to know WHO is saying it and something about them!!! It's never automatic what someone means. IT's your job to find out, ask, and decide. IF your significant other is being very literal, s/he may be putting too much stock in your opinion. How does this square with the rest of your relationship? Are you the one who is always leading? Is she passive?
As for how I would feel: IF they were just saying it as an expression, I would think it was over the top. IF they were serious and being literal, I would be a bit cautious. I don't want to be around people who don't have their own opinions and who don't have their own personalities. Otherwise, it's co-dependent city!

It means that they really care about what you think. It's definitely a good thing.
It's like if you had a friend who was really good at writing, and you wanted her to check out something you've written because you respect her opinion more than the average person's.

How would I feel? On top of the world dear, cus that saying means a lot of really good!
When someone says "You mean the world to me" or "that meant the world to me", what they are saying is that they have a very high value of who you are and therefore, what you think, how your mind works, valueing your opinion and approvals.
It also means that they trust you, that you will speak the truth, even if its something they don't like but need to know so they can make honest improvements. Some people only will say what they think you want to hear, afraid to speak the truth. Also, approval of something can reflect back to the one who made or is in charge of something. Your approval will make him feel approved of by your giving a positive opinion. He sees you as intelligent too, with a sharp mind and ability to think out situations and problems.
In fact, one might say that you or your approval or opinion have a higher value to that person than almost anything else...that is if they really mean what they said.
Don't worry, its females who more often use flowery phrases to gain brownie points, whether they meant what they said or not.
Men aren't typically as quick to speak such a phrase which conveys how they feel about you. Yes, this guy must really be in to you. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes as far as him falling in love if he hasn't already.
Why do I say this? Because my husband is like this, thinks the world of me. Said, there could never be anyone else who could catch his interest if he lost me to death. He is in love with me and that is followed up by the compliments to me, his value of everything there is to my personality and character. He is quick to support and uphold whatever it is I wish to do. His value of how I think and my opinions and thought processes are one of the reasons he is in love with me.

In general terms, not knowing what you approved of, when someone says to me "Your approval means the world to me." I take it that that person values my opinion above all others and my approval of something is a validation of me and my advice.
If someone said that to me and they have. I take it as a compliment that my opinion or advice is valuable to them or pleasing me is important to them.
If someone has said this to you take it in context of what you approved of and take it as a compliment.
