Elaina,
Hacer la pelota es como to suck up to somebody. Aquí en España lo usamos mucho. Es por ejemplo lo que haría el teacher's pet, que por cierto se llama pelota en español.
Tienes razón que suena muy mal si te pones a analizarlo, pero es una expresión tan corriente que ya ni te lo planteas.

1. Sorry Sosia......I find it easy to use you in my examples.

2. What the heck is "hacerle la pelota"? That sounds sooooo (nasty?)

3. I will use esposa next time and I will say that you want to go play cards. Poker? Texas Hold 'Em? 5 card stud? 7 card stud? Strip poker?

4. Womanizer? Don Juan?
1 It's OK. Women always use me
2 resolved by Ph.D Gemma & Ph.D Jane (both Master on "hacer la pelota")
3 Strip poker only with you or my wife . I usually play "mus" or "pinchazo", spanish card games. I see sometimes "Texas Hold 'Em" on TV.
4. Don Juan? ohhh, I have been discovered!!! My other name is Casanova
