I hope your friends will like me --> Espero gustarle a tus amigos
(shouldn't she have used "gustare" here?)

I hope I will like your friends --> Espero que me gusten tus amigos
(would the word here be "gustaren."?)

Well, the construction is different in Spanish, you use the future and we use the infinitive or the subjunctive. If you said:

Creo que me gustarán tus amigos.

Then, you could use the future tense.

I don't know if in Latin America the future tense is used in such sentences.

I hope your friends will like me = Espero que les gustaré a tus amigos

I hope I will like your friends = Espero que me gustarán tus amigos.

Poli:

Caerles bien y gustarles es lo mismo, en este caso.

"Gustar" and "caer bien" are synonymous. But there is a slight difference, at least in Spain. I can say to a friend: "me caen bien/me gustan tus amigos", but if I tell a boy "Me gustas", he could understand that I like him more than a friend. I don't know if this is the same in other countries.

I wouldn't use the future in these sentences. Are you sure you would?

[poli]

In general proper to use the subjunctive after esperar, but gustar is such a twisted verb that people may put those rules aside and use the simpler future tense instead.

Esta mal la construccion gramatical en español. :-)
