It seems as if / like

It seems like she loves you VS. it seems as if she loves you.

I feel like there is not much difference between them. What do you think? And I think this sentence, "Do not treat me like your father" can be understood in more than two ways, depending on contexts. How do you feel about it?

Thank you as usual and you make me so fulfilled all the time.Emotion: smile

You again saved my English and how about "Do not treat me like your father" meaning I am not your father? As far as I know, "like / as nouns" in "treat someone like / as nouns" can function as object complement. Thank you as always sir.

"Do not treat me like your father" meaning I am not your father?-- That is not an incorporated meaning, though it could be in the greater context.
