- to carry a torch for someone -- to have a 'crush' on someone, to be smitten with them, to like them romantically (doesn't mean they like you back)
- to have a soft spot for someone -- to like someone such that even if they do something bad you will consider them nicely. most fathers have a soft spot for their daughters.
- to entrap someone -- 'entrap' is like 'trap' or 'capture'
- to tie the knot -- to get married
- to take the plunge -- usually also about getting married, but it could be any major commitment, like moving in together
