Re: liking
The sentence is not technically "grammatically" wrong, but it's hard to know what the sentence means.
Does it mean:
The person who likes you is handsome.
Or is it trying to say:
The one like you is handsome.
Or something completely different?

Re: liking
It means
Is the one that likes you handsome?
the scene is that : two women are discussing the men they recently dated.
One says:He is a 8 and rich and likes me, but I don't like him.
The other one: Is the one liking you handsome?
Is the one that likes you handsome?

Re: liking
Not grammatically wrong but not idiomatic either.
Some possibilities might be:
Is he handsome?
Is the one that likes you handsome?
And the guy who likes you? Is he handsome?
