You say this to someone if you have developed a liking for someone. You start liking someone if that person attracts you in some or the other manner. You might get attracted to someone because of his or her looks or perhaps someone’s good qualities might simply bowl you over. Majority of the times, it is the qualities of head and heart both that make like a person. If you like a person, go all out to express your liking. Simply waiting and watching the show won’t do you any good. There is no big deal in liking someone but confessing your liking for someone is an uphill task and requires lots of guts and courage. In the words of John Lee Hooker, “Like you and your woman ain't getting' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it.”
