    I am a lover and connoisseur of teen content, including, but not limited to, illustrious 2000s girl content. A big part of said content is romance! And with romance comes kisses!

    HSHQ

    *Stay tuned for best teen kisses on television...

    1. Sam and Austin's "waiting for the rain" kiss from A Cinderella Story:

    Warner Bros.

    When Austin apologized to Sam for "waiting for the rain," my 8-year-old soul leapt from my body. 

    2. Monica and Q's "playing for your heart" kiss from Love & Basketball:

    New Line Cinema

    I still think Q needed to do a MINIMUM of four years of groveling for how he treated Monica, but I guess tearing one's ACL, thus ending their basketball career, is punishment enough. 

    3. Cher and Josh's top-of-the-stairwell kiss from Clueless:

    Paramount Pictures

    Paul Rudd has been fine since 1995. YES, I KNOW THEY ARE EX-STEPSIBLINGS, BUT I DON'T CARE! 

    4. Juno and Paulie's fuck-the-haters kiss from Juno:

    Fox Searchlight

    One word: iconic. 

    5. Bliss and Oliver's underwater kiss from Whip It:

    Fox Searchlight

    Oliver ended up being a dick, but this was still a moment™.

    6. Kathryn and Cecile's "instructional" kiss from Cruel Intentions:

    Sony Pictures

    Petition for a Cruel Intentions reboot, but these two date.

    20th Century Fox

    I hate heights, but I loved this.

    If this is what gym class is like for Gen Z, then sign me the heck up!

    9. Also, Lara Jean and Peter K.'s hot tub kiss from To All the Boys I've Loved Before:

    I'm not gonna lie, this scene...activated me.

    10. Olive and Woodchuck Todd's post-grand-gesture kiss from Easy A:

    Screen Gems

    I don't ever foresee myself getting on a lawn mower, unLESS Woodchuck Todd wants me to get on one. Then I will get on a lawn mower. 

    11. Jenna and Matty's swing set kiss from 13 Going on 30:

    Sony Pictures

    Mark Ruffalo's hairy forearms had an integral impact on my sexuality growing up.

    It's the nose graze for me. 

    13. Georgia and Robbie's pool kiss from Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging:

    I don't condone adultery, BUT Slaggy Lindsay did NOT deserve Robbie and Georgia did, so I can condone this. 

    14. Needy and Jennifer's experimental kiss from Jennifer's Body:

    15. Ellie and Aster's shy kiss from The Half of It:

    To be the one to lick Gabriel's face...

    Their kiss was the one BRIGHT moment in this film — I can tell you that.
