Have you ever...

"Have you ever had a crush on me?"

"Have you ever liked me?"

Is liking someone the same as having a crush on them?

This is referring to the past, right?

What if you have a crush on/like the person in the present? How would you answer it? If you say yes, aren't you implying that you liked the person in the past, but not anymore?
