Girls, What is the difference between being liked and valued?

Question

What do guys do different that separates the two? The girl I like talked about how she would only date a guy that valued her, not liked her. It is like I know what it means but also don't at the same time.

For an analogy, I'm sure you "like" all of the things in your room, but you "value" some things over others, such as your smartphone versus a t-shirt. She wants to be in a relationship where she is valued at the level of your smartphone (or most valuable possession) and not just seen as a "t-shirt" that can be replaced, etc.

This is a good example, because now that I think of it every girl besides this one I've anyways viewed as she can replaced by someone, though it is not only in my hands to value her, I would want her to value also, not just "Oh if you fuck up ( or like a tshirt rips ), they can easily just replace me. " though say with the phone, you have a chance ( lets say it is 100% ) that dropping it could lose all your data, family photos etc that are almost irreplaceable. So she wants someone that sees her as "one of a kind" instead of "plenty of fish in the sea"

Hmmm well, I'd say in this case liking is being viewed as more shallow. Like if there's only sexual or aesthetic attraction, you're not actually valuing *her*. You just like to look at her. Valuing someone is respecting them as an individual and creating a place for them in your life.
