i'm confused with this sentence " we like each other "!
does it mean " we love each other" or " we are the same "?
 
I'm confused with this sentence. "We like each other"!
Does it mean, "we love each other" or "we are the same"?
The former is implied, not the latter.
I think you may be thinking of "we are like each other." That talks about similarity, not affection.
 
"We like each other" simply means "I like you and you like me". Do you understand what the verb "to like" means in, for example, "I like chocolate"?
 
We like each other. [This means, e.g., we are friends. Here, "like" is a verb.]

We are/look like each other.
[This means we are/look similar to each other. Here, "like" is a preposition.]
 
We are/look like each other. [This means we are/look similar to each other. Here, "like" is a preposition.]

You could also use we are alike for this meaning.
