It’s hard to say without context, but “to earn” means “to receive as a result of effort or work”, so “to earn someone” would mean “to receive someone as a result of effort or work”.
It sounds like maybe a woman is saying this to a man who is romantically interested in her? That would be my first thought seeing this without context..
