warm feelings

Tender emotional regard

Warm feelings are emotions of affection, fondness, or goodwill toward someone or something.

The warmth metaphor connects physical comfort to emotional states—closeness, care, and positive regard feel warm rather than cold.

I have warm feelings for my old neighborhood.

Despite their disagreements, she still had warm feelings toward him.

The phrase often appears when someone wants to acknowledge affection without stronger words like love.
