dislike, unlike

Dislike or dislike means a feeling of aversion, displeasure, or antipathy; to regard with displeasure--
I dislike these long introductions; I wish they would get on with the program.
The dog seems to dislike him; she growls when she sees him.

Unlike or unlike means different or dissimilar; not typical or characteristic of --
This vacation will be unlike any other trip we have ever taken.
This pizza is unlike any other I've tasted!

Now that you know that, you can say--
"It is unlike her to be rude; she must dislike him intensely."

Note--on Facebook "unlike" is used to mean "no longer like" or "have decided not to like anymore".
