Séduire
so I went on a date with a French girl. Her English isn't good but while we were talking about dating. she mentioned "seduce" quite a few times. As I am learning French, this came up in our class as well. I am still not sure if it (séduire) means the same thing as it does in English? does it simply just mean attract / attraction? thanks.

Answer

Séduire is to charm someone. It's almost like attract, with the only difference that séduire is something that's done on purpose. 
I suppose the most accurate definition would be that séduire is try to make oneself attractive in the eyes of the other. 
Does that make sense?

Answer

Séduire = charm. On peut dire aussi Charmer mais c'est moins utilisé
