I like you vs I am liking you

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'I like you' is the more common, natural way to express a general feeling of affection or preference. 'I am liking you' is less common and is used to emphasize a temporary or ongoing feeling of liking that may change in the future.
