steal someone's heart
Win someone over
To steal someone's heart is to win their love or deep affection, often unexpectedly or irresistibly: She stole his heart the moment they met.
The phrase suggests love that feels taken rather than given—as if the beloved had no choice in the matter.
It appears frequently in romantic contexts but can describe any profound emotional attachment: That little dog stole my heart.
