  • Yes, as long as it is not immediately contradicted.
  • You CAN say: I have always liked you — until now.
  • This constitutes an immediate cancellation of the feeling of liking starting from the moment you say "until now".
  • But absent any further words to the contrary, you can assume that it means the speaker still likes him/her now.
