Is 彼女が懐かしい equal to 彼女を懐かしくした?


This question might be too basic but up to now I am still in doubt whether my
understanding is correct.

**Example 1**

> A:僕は彼女が懐かしい。I miss her.
>
> B:僕は彼女を懐かしくした。I miss her.

**Example 2**

> A:僕は彼女が好きだ。I like her.
>
> B:僕は彼女を好きにした。I like her.

# Question

Is there any difference between A and B for both examples given above?




Totally different. 懐かしい isn't the grammatical counterpart of the verb "miss".
The literal translation would be "be nostalgic".

The construction in your example #1 is:

> 僕は彼女が懐かしい。 _As for me, she is nostalgic._ = _She is nostalgic to me._ ≈ _I
> miss her._

Thus,

> 僕は彼女を懐かしくした。 _I made her (felt) nostalgic._

I have no idea what it stands for, but that's what it means anyway.

Likewise,

> 僕は彼女が好きだ。 _As for me, she is desirable/pleasant._ = _She is pleasant to me._
> ≈ _I like her._

And your second sentence has a more serious problem, as
[好きにする](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%A5%BD%E3%81%8D%E3%81%AB%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B-301913)
is an idiom that means "do as one likes".

> 僕は彼女を好きにした。 _I treated her as I liked._
