win someone's heart
Earn romantic affection
To win someone's heart is to earn their love or deep affection, typically through sustained effort or admirable qualities rather than sudden attraction: He won her heart with his kindness and patience.
The phrase suggests romantic love but can extend to any devoted attachment: The rescue dog won the whole family's heart.
