A flirtatious body language where you move in slightly closer to someone's personal space during a conversation but in a very subtle way.
Typically, if the other person does not step back it is because they do not mind, or perhaps they are feeling flirtatious also. If the person does steps back or makes room for your personal space, it is their body language saying please give me some room, and you should definitely move back. Do not try this move when someone's back is to a wall or chair where they cannot get their personal space back.
From the movie "While You Were Sleeping" (usually shown around the holidays) with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pulman.

The character of Jack implies to Lucy that she and her macho yet blundering neighbor must be interested in each other because he gave her flowers and then she "leaned". She is somewhat annoyed by this and so he explains more about what leaning is: "It was a lot different from hugging. Hugging's very different. Hugging that involves arms and hands; and leaning is whole bodies moving in like this (leans toward her suggestively) Leaning involves wanting, and accepting... leaning". The joke at the end of the scene is her neighbor asking if Jack is bothering Lucy because it looks like he's "leaning".

Get the leaningmug. When someone drinks too much lean (a mix of codeine cough syrup and promethazine), causing their body to slow down dangerously — leading to nausea, confusion, slow breathing, or even coma and death. It’s not just “feeling sick,” it’s a medical emergency.
“Bro tried to flex with a double cup and ended up in the ER with a lean overdose — that stuff ain’t no joke.”

Get the lean Overdosemug. Occurs while a male in the depths of slumber attempts to roll over but is unable to do so due to his wang acting as a kick stand preventing his body from fully completing said action.

Get the lean green mean cream machinemug. Accepting the fact that being lean (<=15% body fat) is optimal for male health and attractiveness. A person who believes this is said to be lean pilled.
This belief exists to counter the narrative pushed by powerlifters and perma bulkers, which states that one should just get as big as possible and prioritize lifting numbers above everything else.

Friend: What happened to you? You used to be so strong and swole!
Me: I decided that feeling and looking my best is better than being able to bench 4 plates. I took the lean pill.
