keen on

Really into it

Keen on means enthusiastic about or attracted to something or someone: She's keen on hiking, He's quite keen on her.

More common in British than American English.

The phrase suggests genuine interest rather than mere tolerance.

I'm not keen on the idea is a polite way of expressing reluctance.
