What are these? Past or non-past?
Well, I should rephrase: な-adjectives like 好き and 嫌い have only one form. い-adjectives have past and non-past.

So your question about whether the form of 好き in those sentences is past or non-past is silly. It is neither, because the adjective doesn't really have a past or non-past form.

The tense of that sentence is determined by the verb, not the adjective.

Any questions?
