Analogous phrase to "in love", to describe one's feelings for a person that one is interested in romantically but not currently in love with. As one can love another as a friend but not be *in* love, so can one like another as a friend but not be *in* like.

Like like is more then liking as a friend, yet different then a crush. Its a step above a crush, and a step below love.
"Dude, Jenna so like likes Tom!"
"I do not like like David, I just like him."
"So... do you like like me, or just like me?"
"I do not like like David, I just like him."
"So... do you like like me, or just like me?"

Where you more than like like someone, but you don't say you love them. Like like like is a sign of a relationship going somewhere.

Essentially, "liking" something on facebook that you don't actually have sincere interest in.
Some do it to fit in by liking what popular people liked.
Some do it to reinforce in everyone's minds that the he/she is, indeed, friends with the poster of the status.*
Some do it to make sure everyone knows that he/she was a part of the inside joke in the status.*
Some do it to create the illusion that he/she was a part of the inside joke in the status.*
*You can interchange 'status' and 'picture'.

Examples of Liking to be Liked:
One, Two, and Three alllll liked Four's status, so I did too.
Five's status was nothing special, but I liked it because I wanted to make sure everyone knows I know her and I'm tight with her.
Six made her status about all the drinks we had, but she didn't name names, so I made sure everyone knows I was the one she had drinks with (in case anyone is unsure I drink) by liking it.
One of Seven's statuses was about her and Eight drinking, and even though I wasn't there, I had to make sure everyone knows I do like to drink (in case anyone doesn't know I'm hardcore) so I liked it.

A Facebook status update frequently seen when someone is extremely bored, and involves them replying to any likes on the post by typing a positive comment on that person's wall. It can become quite forced when the person who likes the post isn't well liked or well known by the poster of the status update. It also helps boost the ego of people who like the post as they are always complimented.
