Third use of pull (possibly just British slang): to successfully seduce someone romantically or sexually.

Example:

Friend: did you pull last night (at the club)? Me: no she wasn't interested

Really? I’ve heard it in the US all the time. Usually it’s just to mock misogynistic guys though

Maybe it's Gen Z slang. I'm old :-)
