"Warm up to" nghĩa là gì?

"Warm up to someone/ something" có nghĩa là trở nên cởi mở, bắt đầu thích hay trở nên tha thiết hơn đối với ai/ điều gì hoặc trở nên nhạy cảm và dễ bảo hơn. 

Ví dụ 
To his relief (nhẹ nhõm), she had remained very professional the whole day, and seemed to warm up to him again after lunch. As he left, she smiled—not expecting a hug or kiss good-bye. That was to his liking. 

Tan said that he got into a lot of arguments with Sophia because of these tensions. However, determined (quyết tâm) to get his family to warm up to her, he would constantly encourage (không ngừng khuyến khích) his then-girlfriend to visit his family. 

Then I looked over at the hangging birdcage (lồng chim), only to see no parakeet in the cage. Awhile back, Randy had bought him a parakeet (vẹt đuôi dài) as a way of getting Opus to warm up to him. I walked over to the cage and saw the little blue parakeeet lying still at the bottom of his cage, with its neck off to one side.
