canoodles
Gets physically affectionate
Canoodles means to engage in affectionate physical contact—kissing, cuddling, caressing—usually in a playful or amorous way.
The word suggests lighthearted intimacy rather than anything too serious: The couple canoodled in the back row of the theater.
It's slightly old-fashioned and often used with a wink.
