Can you use すき です for persons as well?
Let's take a sentence with すき です：
わたしは おちゃが すき です。 I like tea
Can you say something like this also for persons? So for example can you use the following sentence for your friend, mother, wife, brother etc.:
わたしは あなたが すき です
But does it have an unwanted meaning in some cases? Suppose you are saying anataga suki desu to a female friend.
In English "I like you" means something like "I love you" and therefore if you say I like you to a girl or woman it might be misunderstood. Can something like this happen in Japanese as well?

Yes, you are right. I don't think these sentence are strange. But we usually too shy to say LIKE to other person. Even to family and friends, we (I) don't say " I like you" as often. That's why someone misunderstand and say ' What? you love me?' It easy to say ねこ/ いぬ/すし/ さしみがすき, however, I wonder why it difficult to say かれ/ かのじょ/あなたがすき！Woooo just thought of this, I am so embarrassed!!
