If you like someone
If you like somebody ,you will learn about her /hem . they like read ,and you will like read too .thay like dog ,and you think dog is not bad . Actually ,you just like her /hem .I can use 4 words to express that : Isthis "爱屋及乌"?
If you like someone then you will want/try to learn about him/her. If they like reading then you will like reading too! If they like dogs then perhaps you will think dogs are not bad. Actually, it's because you like him/her.
I think that's more or less what you were trying to say. Very sweet :)
