Flirt (in this context)
Explanation:
The meaning of this phrase can vary according to context and the people involved. It generally refers to a very affectionate manner of addressing someone. For instance, saying "I would die for you" is an example of قربون صدقه
However, my guess is that since someone got really mad as stated by this comment, the قربون صدقه in question has not been very innocent.
More context is required for a more accurate equivalent.

Hi. I guess "to be all over someone" means to touch them mostly in a sexual way. But قربون صدقه رفتن means to address someone with affectionate words.
