Hebrew term or phrase: מישהו עם דייסה מתוקה בשבילך
literally someone with sweet cereal for you -- Does anyone undestand what this expression means? someone who's hot for you? someone who wants to pamper you? someone who's sweet on you? The context is "Don't you have somebody, some somebody with sweet cereal for you?" Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I translated it some Sugar Daddy who's sweet on you wants to look after you, and your definition reaffirmed my choice of Sugar Daddy and helped in in adding the taking care of you element.

Someone who'll take care of you


Explanation:
well it's not a "known" canonized idiom, but it seems about right. if you give a little more context, i can be a bit more sure.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Yvette Neisser Moreno: This sounds about right to me given the context. Maybe could also go in the direction of "somebody to sweeten your life"?

  -> not really.. it's a bit romantic. As Iris wrote below, and correctly, there's a connotation of getting something out of it. it could be sugar daddy, but it can also be someone who'll take care of you sexually...

Someone who'll be there for you


Explanation:
Connotation of דיסה מתוקה brings to mind also a comfort factor. Hot cereal on a cold day or when you have the sniffles. Someone to look after you physically but also emotionally. Sugar Daddy implies an older man who allows himself to be exploited by a younger woman because he's either foolish or crazy about her. מישהו עם דייסה מתוקה בשבילך has a connotation of warmer feeling "coming in from the cold" as it were to find someone there for you. Much more positive relationship than sugar daddy.
