Hi everybody ,

Could you help to explain what's the maning of "chat up " on the sentence below :
"You have to create opportunities where you can subtly talk to someone without it feeling like you're chatting them up! "

Thanks heaps for your help.

Best regards ,

'Chatting someone up' means:

Talking to someone in a way that shows them you are sexually attracted to them.

[Mister Micawber]

.
Not necessarily sexually attracted. It is also used in any situation in which the speaker wishes to befriend and persuade the listener.
