Ich mag dich so ganz und gar nicht
All translations above are absolutely correct. However, the English version draws it's poignancy from the unconventional and unexpected deviation from the standard 'I really like you' phrase.
If you'd want to mimic this quality in German, you might need an equally 'onorthodox' wording with a twist.

Ich kann dich überhaupt nicht ausstehen
"ausstehen" is slightly stronger than "leiden", and also more colloquial. It depends who you are talking to.

: This answer was already posted several hours earlier. Also, it means 'I can't stand you at all', which is not the same.

Ich kann Dich echt nicht leiden!
... just another alternative ... ;)
"echt" here also resembles the "really" in the original sentence.
