I start to like vs I'm starting to like

Both "I start to like" and "I'm starting to like" are correct, but they are written in different tenses. "I start to like" is a simple present tense construction, while "I'm starting to like" is a present continuous tense construction. The choice between them depends on whether you want to express a general habit or a current action.
