I was trying to think how would I say this in Spanish, without changing the original meaning of the phrase.

To "Sweet-talk" someone, is when you try to persuade someone, generally a woman (as in this case).

In spanish (Argentina), when a man tries to persuade a woman we use the verb "chamullar". We also have other words, like "galantear" -when a man tries to seduce a woman- or "camelar" -seduce, persuade someone with lies-.

In my city the most common one is "Chamullar" but I'm not sure in other places.

What do you think?

I just asked a Spanish friend of mine and he says "camelar". But I forgot to ask him what the noun form would be. Anyhow, I leave it up to you. Why not include both of them? The more the merrier!
