I mean 'seem as if' and 'seem like'

I don't see much difference between said two phrases. Many words mean the same. They are just use alternately so as not to bore the reader, especially if these the-same-meaning words are used in the same paragraph. I mean there's variety. Like this one: I saw a beautiful child. This tot seems to like me. Maybe the lad is friendly. See, child, tot, and lad have one and the same meaning. They were just used interchangeably so as not to annoy the reader and just give an artistic sound. Okay!!!

There is no difference. You can say...
seems as though
seems as if
seems like
It's all the same. :-)
Indeed, you do not need the as if, like or as though at all.
It seems they're no longer in love.
It seems she'll never agree to a divorce.
Works just as well and is more direct and less wordy.

As if suggests a suppostion of a fact (They are no longer in love) that is contrary to the truth.
As like means a situation that is likely to be true.

There is no difference between the phrases seems as if and seems like--they both synonymous.
