seduction scene
Cinematic romantic pursuit
A seduction scene is a moment in a film, novel, or other narrative where one character attempts to sexually attract or persuade another.
The term implies deliberate romantic or erotic tension, often with atmospheric staging—dim lighting, suggestive dialogue, gradual physical approach: The movie's seduction scene felt gratuitous.
In screenwriting and literary criticism, it's a recognized set piece with its own conventions and clichés.
