The idiom "throw oneself at someone" is believed to have originated in the 18th century. It is thought to be a reference to the idea of throwing oneself at someone's feet, as if in supplication. The idiom has since come to mean to make oneself available to someone romantically, often in a way that is considered to be too obvious or desperate.
