swept off feet
Romantically bowled over
To be swept off one's feet is to be suddenly and completely charmed or captivated, typically in a romantic context.
The image is of being lifted and carried away by overwhelming emotion: He swept her off her feet with his charm and spontaneity.
The phrase suggests losing one's footing—and perhaps one's judgment—to passion or infatuation.
