But why "if you would like" is OK but "if you will like" is not?It doesn't work with "you'll".

1. I'd be happy to lend you a CD if you'd like. (correct)
2. I'll be happy to lend you a CD if you'll like. (wrong)
3. I'll be happy to lend you a CD if you like. (correct)
Excuse me but I have not understood your explanations that why 2 is wrong.
I will be grateful if you explain the reason to me in a more clarified way.
In sentence 2, I'll be happy expresses intention, not futurity. Does that help?

Thank you.
Does these too almost have the same meaning talking about the future?
