{{examples}}

* Parodied to some extent in ''[[Love Hina]]'' with Kaolla Su's chart. Keitaro's first -> Mutsumi. Naru's -> Also Mutsumi (she was saying hi both times) Motoko -> a kissing robot. Shinobu -> Tama the turtle. Koalla Su -> Motoko's face is there, but it says it's her second.

** It's Motoko's second, obviously, and Su's first.

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'''s first real heartwarming moment was Kamina asking Yoko to watch his back during battle. She called out his name and when he turned around, she leaned in and kissed him, saying "your rear really is defenseless, isn't it?" His surprise lasted a moment until he decided to take it further and kissed her back. {{spoiler|Too bad the latter was also their [[Last Kiss]] as Kamina died at the end of the episode.}}

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' subverted this, [[Deconstruction|as usual]]. In episode 15, Asuka asked Shinji if he wants to kiss since she's bored. He initially resisted until she pulled a low blow by asking if he's afraid of kissing a girl on the anniversary of his mother's death. They went forward with the kiss though Asuka held Shinji's nose the whole time since his breath was tickling her (at least that was her excuse). When he broke it off due to borderline asphyxiation, she ran into the bathroom and rinsed her mouth, exclaiming that she should never kiss anyone to kill time ever again.

** This was brought up again during the infamous [[Mind Rape]] scene. When Shinji came up in her head, she exclaimed "What are you doing there?! [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?|You won't do anything! You won't help me! You won't even hold me!]]" And it's shown that after their first kiss, she ran to the bathroom to gargle so she could [[Stepford Smiler|hide her pain from him]] about his lack of warmth.

* ''[[MAR]]'' has Ginta sharing his first kiss with Snow, and it's also her first kiss. {{spoiler|Snow is also the in-universe [[Expy]] of the girl he wishes he could share his first kiss with. Koyuki also acts as if this is her first kiss, despite it actually being another person.}}

* Parodied to hell and back in ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]''. Sana's first kiss is with Akito, who kisses her in public. Akito's first kiss had been given as a kindergartener for 60 yen. Later, he finds out that the story of the first kiss ruined the kissed girl a love story.

** There's a complicated example in a later chapter. Keima takes {{spoiler|Chihiro}} to a secluded spot, and when the moment is right, pushes her down on a bench and gets on top of her. She mentions "[[Their First Time|It's my first time]]," but she means the kiss that's coming. The problem is, it's ''not'' her first kiss, which he knows for a fact because he's the one who kissed her. And the entire reason he was pursuing her was because he thought she remembered that, which would mean she was immune to the memory-wipe, which would mean {{spoiler|she had a goddess inside her}}. He figures this all out in seconds, and realizes it means [[Oh Crap|he has the wrong girl]].

** In the manga, Ranma's first kiss was forced upon him by a guy he hated.

**  If one counts the time Akane kissed "P-Chan" on his snout, then her first kiss was unintentionally with Ryoga. (No wonder [[Crazy Jealous Guy|Ranma]] was furious.) She seems to consider her first kiss to have been with Ranma while he was under the Cat-Fist.

 

** Although we should have seen that coming as she has no lips.

* In a ''[[Garfield]]'' strip, Jon recounts his first kiss, which - true to his nature - ended in a catastrophe, when his braces locked with hers.

 

* In ''[[The Goonies]]'', Andi intends to have her first kiss with Brand but in the darkness, and with her eyes closed, she accidentally kisses his younger brother Mikey instead. She really does believe it was Brand until later, when she gets another chance to kiss him and confirms that only Mikey has braces.

** In general, first kisses in Disney movies are very important and often double as [[True Love's Kiss]].

 

* [[Harry Potter]], dealing as it does with seven years over the course of some teenager's lives, shows various first kisses in all their awkwardness and complete lack of [[True Love's Kiss|glamour]], no doubt to the rage of many Shippers.

** It is said that Hermione's first kiss ("snog," as Ginny put it) was with Victor Krum (a fellow who seems a perfect gentleman), off-camera.

** After being chewed out for [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|never having been kissed,]] Ron asserts his *cough* manhood by smooching Lavender Brown after a victorious Quidditch match. Oh, so victorious.

* ''[[His Dark Materials|The Amber Spyglass]]'' gives a slow, tense, and sensuous build-up to Will and Lyra's first, awkward, passionate kiss. It was a pretty powerful one, too. In short, their kiss saved the multiverse.

* Seen in Garth Nix's ''[[Old Kingdom|Sabriel]]'' when Touchstone and Sabriel begin to fall under the influence of the bell [[Brown Note|Astarael, which kills all who hear it]], Sabriel exhorts Touchstone to "Think of life!" and kisses him... "savagely." Because she bites his lip as she does this, their kiss is both awkward, passionate, and ''bloody.'' It's also ''damn'' romantic.

* In [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]'s ''[[John Carter of Mars|Chessmen of Mars]]'', this happens right after Tara's profession of love to Turan, and right before her begging him not lead her into dishonor: she's betrothed to another man.

* In ''[[Memoirs of a Geisha]]'', Sayuri mentioned how {{spoiler|her kiss with the Chairman}} was her first real kiss, despite being with other men who kissed her [[Anywhere but Their Lips]].

* A particularly heartbreaking example comes from ''[[The Book Thief]]''. There's a running gag throughout the book in which Rudy keeps trying to get his childhood friend Liesel to kiss him. {{spoiler|She finally does, but only after he's been killed in an allied bombing raid.}}

 

* In ''[[Drake and Josh]]'', Josh waits before explaining a [[Not What It Looks Like]] moment to '''thank [[God]]''' for getting his first kiss, even though he had tried his hardest to repel it.

* In ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'', Ned wanted his first kiss to be with Suzie- along the way he's kissed by the school nurse, the [[Weasel Mascot]] and others, reacting with a loud "That didn't count!" each time.

* In the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode, "All The Way", Dawn shares her first kiss with a boy. From her reaction, he figures out that it was her first. She tries to deny, before admitting that it was her first, and babbling about how bad it must have been for him. He replies by kissing her again. {{spoiler|Sadly, he's actually a vampire, and becomes her first staking}}.

** Carly and Freddie's first kiss is in the aftermath of Freddie saving her life by pushing her out of the way of a truck and getting severely hurt.

* Rachel and Ross's first kiss in ''[[Friends]]'' actually won an Emmy award.

** In the episode "Cranes Unplugged", Frasier's son Frederick has his first kiss off-camera.

* The off-screen kiss between Naomi and Emily at that drunken middle school party in ''[[Skins]]'' was, according to the E4.com character blogs, Naomi's first. (All the boys she dated were too wimpy to go for it; and besides, [[Love At First Sight|she'd already seen Emily by then.]])

** There's also the one in the 2010 Christmas Special, between Kazran and Abigail. Kazran is nervous, and asks the Doctor for advice. After telling Kazran to deliberately be [[Adorkable]] (since he will be anyway, he might as well make it part of the plan,) he then says:

'''Doctor:''' Don't repeat my mistakes. ''Go''. }}

 

* Although it might not be for Rinoa (considering [[Love Triangle|her previous relationship with Seifer]]), it probably is for Squall at the end of ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''.

* ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''. Simply [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa78gTrO0Kk the most exaggerated, beautiful and physics-challenging first kiss ever].

* ''[[Jade Empire]]'' has a well-animated scene that is suggested to be the player's first kiss, heavily implied to be [[Victorious Childhood Friend|Dawn Star's]] if she is the girl, almost outright stated to be [[Rebellious Princess|Silk Fox's]] if she is, and definitely not Sky's.

* In ''[[Fragile Dreams]],'' Seto's is stolen by Crow, who apparently thought that it's typical for friends to kiss since he read it in a book. This makes them [[Ho Yay|best]] [[Boys Love|friends]].

* Every heroine is rather romantically naive in ''[[Canvas 2]]'' and generally has never even kissed before. Hiroki, though, [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|is not a virgin.]] Of course.

 

* K'thonya from ''[[Earthsong]]'''s remnant (the only memory she retains thanks to teleport-induced [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]) is of her first kiss.

* In ''[[The Dreamer]]'', Bea and Alan kiss within the first pages of the comic; Bea and Ben kiss in issue #7.

** [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/07/11/0289-moment-kisser/ Poor Sandra.]

 

* In the [[Whateley Universe]], Jade makes a big deal about her first kiss, which makes sense since she's Japanese and fourteen and immature and loves anime. Thuban, the boy she first-kisses, is still dating her.

 

* Across the Pacific, there's the ''[[Rugrats|All Grown Up!]]'' episode "Fear of Falling". Angelica is PO'd that Tommy not only had his first kiss, but that he spoiled hers as well.

** In "Stealing First Base", Bart kisses a girl who complains that he ruined her first kiss.

* ''[[Doug]]'''s first kiss was the subject of an entire episode where he was getting these mysterious [[Secret Admirer]] notes in his locker. He goes through a series of private mind games worrying about who it was, and eventually found out it was Beebe Bluff (Who is a nicer version of the [[Alpha Bitch]]). It turned out that she had mistaken his locker for someone else's, but she got excited and kissed him because they could switch places in a parade; Doug got to be next to his crush Patti and Beebe next to her intended target, Doug's friend Skeeter.

* [[Kim Possible]] had her first kiss with a kid named "Walter Nelson", and their braces locked. Her best friend...well Ron's first was with a CPR dummy. So you could say it was...nah, that's ''too'' easy.

* An episode of ''[[Pepper Ann]]'' has the title character worrying about whether she's ready for a first kiss in a manner reminiscent of how television normally portrays anxiety over [[Their First Time|a different kind of first time]].

** First kiss that we actually see (we never do get an answer if they did or didn't before hand). Remember the Cave of Two Lovers after all?
