I didn't like you probably before I liked you.
This is of course nonsense, and nonsense is a waste of time and words. But liking you has already wasted too much of my time and words.
When I say this, I don't mean to emphasize that I didn't like you before I liked you. What I mean is that after I like you, I don't dislike you anymore. I haven't always liked you, at least not when I was three years old.
There is no proof that you like me, but I like you, so I will over-interpret your behavior to guess that you may like me.
Secret love is really bitter. Have you ever secretly liked someone for many years? Are you as bitter as me?
Motto: Don't have a secret love, it's better to be bold
