Hear it in real life
Do you like your new manager?
Yes, I've really warmed to her.
I didn't warm to him immediately, but he became much more likeable over time.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I warmed ‸ my new boss.
Say: I warmed to my new boss.
When “warm” means gradually start liking someone, it needs “to” before the person.
