As far as I use the term it means get off with, ie. kiss w/ tongues.

Snog, french kiss.

But it can also mean "pick up", so if you took someone home you would have 'pulled', whether or not you'd kissed them.

But generally it means kiss.

And sex? no

Kissing is what I've always understood it to mean.

I would say it's when you actually have sex. It's not really that hard to make out with lots of people, but it doesn't mean anything.

Come off it.

If someone says "Chris pulled Sarah last night", it means that they kissed.

If someone was talking about a girl and you said "yep I pulled her last term", no-one would think you meant sex.

That would be a weird game of Tug of War if it involved sex too

i would go with just kissing (or more)
but not just taking someone home!
otherwise my dad would have 'pulled' me many times, also my brother!!

There's regional differences in the meaning.

getting a girls number would count, or a promise of a date. but just chatting? no way

It can mean both! Sex and kissing. Depends who you are! Why?

I think this has been discussed before and it was agreed that there was no general consensus on it.

To me it means kissing and/or getting a date/phone number from someone. Sex doesn't have to come into it. But other people interpret it differently.

Pulling = kissing with tongues.

I think you'll find

Pulling = method of winning Tug of War
I never used the term "pulling" before I went to university. If me or my mates used it, it was normally in a jokey way. For example, if some drunk started talking to someone we'd go "ooh you've pulled!".

I actually don't really like to use the term to be honest. I reckon it sounds a bit daft especially when I heard someone say "so you seeing him then or just pulling?". It reminded me of school when if someone was to kiss someone else using tongues it was known as "meeting".
