Hi Nick, 
These verbs to describe feelings between two people have very different meanings -
Aimer bien means simple liking whereas plaire is fancying, more of a sexual attraction.

Hi Nick,https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/how-to-use-aimer-to-express-loving-and-liking-something-someone?rts=%252Fsearch%253Fs%253DaimerSee above.Plaire can take the meaning "to like"      but for a more complete explanation just use the search facility (little magnifying glass at the top of the page) and this will take you to the appropriate lesson.This is what I did to search for "aimer" above.Hope this helps.Jim
