{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': Shinji almost kisses Asuka when she sleepwalks right into his bed, but [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma|stops himself]] when she whimpers in her sleep about her mother.
Line 124 ⟶ 123:
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* This is a genre standard in [[Bollywood]] films. Up until very recently, kissing in movies was censored in India (it is still seen as racy), so filmmakers perfected the art of showing the leads caressing with lips oh-so-close to each other. (This is especially common in dance numbers.) Note that, unlike in other instances of this trope, an actual kiss (or more) is usually implied to have taken place.
* Averted in ''[[2012]]'': Dr. Heimsley and Laura are about to kiss when they are interrupted by a broadcast. They ignore it and continue their business.
▲** Done in ''[[Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham]]'' during the number "Yeh Ladka Hai Allah".
* Happens in ''[[Dragnet]]'' (the 1987 movie) twice with Joe Friday and Connie Swail.
* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'': Happens twice between Dolores and Eddie, while in the movie theater and toward the end of the movie after reading the will, when Roger intervenes.
* [[The X-Files (film)|The first
** In the DVD commentary, Chris Carter tries to peddle the idea that the emotions from the almost kiss in the hallway plus the CPR scene later in the movie equals a kiss. Not surprisingly, nobody buys that.
* A [[Running Gag]] between Troy and Gabriella in ''[[High School Musical]] 2'', to the frustration of preteens everywhere. They made sure to make up for it later, though.
