make a pass
Try romantic advance
To make a pass at someone is to make a sexual or romantic advance, typically a verbal one: He made a pass at her after the party.
The phrase suggests a tentative or opportunistic attempt rather than a sustained pursuit.
In sports contexts, to make a pass is simply to throw or kick the ball to a teammate.
