take a shine to somebody

The Officer takes a shine to her and they go out on a date.

His father said quietly that he always did take a shine to her.

He sure seems to have taken a shine to you.

He seems to have taken a real shine to your baby.

And it is no secret why the company took such a shine to her.

"She'd have to be if she took a shine to you!"

He took quite a shine to you, did my old man.

Of course, she may take a shine to you, but even then I'd be careful.

Even an interesting stranger that I was beginning to take a shine to.

Is that why I took such a shine to him?
