put the moves on
Try seducing someone
To put the moves on someone is to make romantic or sexual advances, typically through flirtation, suggestive behavior, or physical touch: He was putting the moves on her all night at the party.
The phrase implies deliberate, often obvious attempts at seduction, and can suggest unwelcome persistence: She left early because some guy kept putting the moves on her.
