cocksure advances or rough advances

: Ja tak to rozumiem. Moim zdaniem końskie zaloty nie muszą być niechciane, natomiast są niezgrabne i nieco agresywne.

Dziękuje - ja też tak rozumiem końskie zaloty (końskie zaloty to na przykład pociągnięcie za warkoczyk;)

coming on too strong
Sure, you may think you’re just making it clear you like her. But these overly-aggressive moves can turn women off. - See more at: http://www.match.com/magazine/article/6372/#sthash.tdllBrDo....

We know you like her, and you just want to show her, right? Well, you might want to take it easy there, tiger. Slow your roll a bit. - http://goo.gl/5oXTKd

Discussion
- childish teasing
- to hit on sb = to flirt with sb (e.g. - "Are you hitting on me?")
