Third-person singular subjects (he, she, it) always need -s (or -es) on the verb in the positive present simple.

Like is a stative verb — it describes a state, not an action in progress, so it doesn't take the continuous (-ing) form.

Once do/does appears in a question, the main verb goes back to its base form — don't add -s twice.
