    Medved (Е), that's the right direction.

    There is also another specific meaning. And the Eng. verb 'chat up' is used for it.

    Chat up – To chat someone up is to try and pick them up. If you spotted a scrummy girly in a bar you might try to chat her up. Or a girl might try and chat up a chap!

    So sometimes разговорить may be used for such a situation. I am not sure this is the exact equivalent, but it makes sense to compare разговорить and 'chat up'.

    I guess chat up is more like "заговорить" или "уболтать"
    Another month ends. All targets met. All systems working. All customers satisfied. All staff eagerly enthusiastic. All pigs fed and ready to fly.
