Probably. The reason that you like someone has to do with a lot of things, but mostly they're reflexive things which the other person will also like in you.

Like, as in friendly like, or romantic like?
If it's friendly, more often than not you'll get a positive response. However, if it's romantic and the other person doesn't have the same or similar feelings, then chances are it will go nowhere.
So the answer is both: True AND False.

I think it was Groucho Marx who joked that he didn't want to be a member of any club that would accept him....
But mostly the key to friendship is to express our appreciation of another, and more often than not, it's returned. But...
Object relations theory of psychology explores the compulsion some people have to replicate early life experiences. So for example, if a girl has a cheating father who didn't treat her mother well, she may have a compulsion to seek out the same kind of man, either because this losing dynamic is something that she's used to, or because subconsciously she's trying to "fix" what went wrong. (A psychologist could explain this better than me, but that's the gist of it).
If someone isn't liking you back, ask yourself, why do I like him/her?
Some people have non-verbal learning disabilities or Asperger's syndrome which makes it hard for them to understand what other people's body language and facial expressions mean. They sometimes make unintended social mistakes, and get others mad at them without realizing it.

Well, if it were true, then I think there would be less heartache in the world. I think people we Respect generally respect us back, but I think for people we're attracted to or "like" in a romantic sense, there's only about a 25% chance they'll "like" us too.

True. We tend to like the challenge of getting together with someone; if the person is already interested, there is no challenge.

True, we are by nature a social animal. When you accept someone and approve of them, they feel good and they associate that feeling with you. Isn't that how society is supposed to work?

No, most will like you in return, but certainly not all.
