a. I'm looking at dresses I've never seen before. I might see something I'll happen to like.
b. I'm looking at dresses I've never seen before. I might see something I happen to like.
Is there any real difference in the meanings of these sentences?
Since I have never seen those suits before, (b) could not mean that I happen to like them now.
Many thanks
One of the uses of present simple is for things that are always true. Liking something is often considered to be always true. If you like a dress, you always like it, even if you are not looking at it right now.
It is possible to use like about a single occasion:
Let's go to a Greek restaurant tonight. I think that you will like the food there.
In this case, it is a single future instance, you use will, but in your sentences it sounds strange to use will: your sentence b is more natural.
