Smile Liking
La frase en inglés es:
'You couldn't help liking her like that'
Yo estoy por traducirla así:
'No podrías ayudarla dado que te gusta así'

What do you think about?

Gracias.

My two cents:

"No podrías evitar que te agrade/ara* cuando (está/se pone/un largo etcétera) así"

*choose your temporal frame

How about...A ella no pudiste menos de agradarle así. Would that work?

@Glen: But the sentence says the person who's talking is the one who likes the girl, not the girl who likes the speaker...

"No podía menos que gustarte así." Might rescue the idea using the structure you proposed.
