first kiss

Lips' initial meeting

A first kiss is someone's initial experience of romantic or sexual kissing, typically remembered as a milestone of adolescence.

The term carries nostalgic weight, often evoking innocence, awkwardness, or sentiment: I still remember my first kiss—we were both so nervous.

It can also mean the first kiss shared between two particular people: Their first kiss happened on the third date.
