To speak to someone with the intent of eventually engaging in sexual intercourse with them. Generally conducted in a relaxed, playful and outstandingly obvious manner.

Guy 1: "Cor, look at all the fit birds in the place!"
Guy 2: "Yeah, I'm gonna chat up the one in the tight black skirt. Phwoar!"
Guy 1 walks in hungover and bruised.
Guy 2: "What did you get up to?"
Guy 1: "I got trashed and started chatting up this stunner. I started pulling and I was all set to bang her but then her boyfriend came back from the bar."

Girl: "I can't take my eyes off you for a second. You were blatantly chatting her up."
