"You don't like me right now, do you?"

If I like this person right now, how do I answer them using yes or no?

I found this but I don't understand the point of it:

Whilst Modern English has a two-form system for affirmatives and negatives, Early Modern English in fact had a four-form system, comprising the words yea, nay, yes, and no. [...] The answers to positively framed questions ("Will he go?") were yea and nay, whilst the answers to negatively framed questions ("Will he not go?") were yes and no. This subtle grammatical nicety of Early Modern English is recorded by Sir Thomas More in his critique of William Tyndale's translation of the New Testament into Early Modern English.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 2 22:39:15 2019 No.12871261 Just say "i do" or "i don't". No chance of misunderstanding.
