someone being sympathetic to someone

Hi,

if I'd like to express that I like a person (with whom we didn't talk to each other much), can I say "she's sympathetic to me". Does it make some sense this way? If it does, how does it sound to a native?
(And whether it does or not, what would you guys say that would be similar to what I'd like to express. (Apart from "I like her".)

Thanks!

I think you're trying to say "She's nice to me" or "She seems nice", but I'm not sure. CJ

A word similar in appearance to 'http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/sympathetic' is used in some languages of people you like, have some feeling towards. It is not used in this way in English.

You could actually just say "She and I are simpatico" or even muy simpatico without any issues in the US.
