Understanding this quote
The speaker separates love from liking. They loved someone they did not actually like, while the person they liked did not inspire love. The contrast suggests that affection and compatibility are not always the same: feeling deeply drawn to someone does not guarantee enjoying their character, and enjoying someone’s company does not necessarily become love.
