How To Write Kissing Scenes
Some ways to make your kissing scenes stand out
To write a kissing scene, you need to set the mood for it and it’s best not to do it right at the start of the story, unless the two of them are already in a relationship. It will also depend on the genre of the story and the age of the characters and it will be different if it’s two teenagers having their first kiss than it will be between two adults cheating on their spouses.
Think back to when you were a teenager and the first time you kissed a romantic interest. Were you nervous, excited or both? I know for me, it was both, when I moved in for the kiss, I didn’t know if she would accept it or pull away — if she had pulled away, I would have respected that. Luckily for me, she stood up on her toes — I’m over six feet tall and she was barely five feet — and met me as close as she could and happily kissed me back.
But you didn’t read this story to learn of my romantic history, nor did I write it to tell you of it, I was just giving you an example.
So, describe the nervousness and excitement of the two young people, one or both of their hands might be shaking, butterflies floating through their bodies as they move in and press their lips together.
