I think it would depend on what your definition of what a cliché kissing scene is. And how heavy of a kissing scene you're planning on writing. Is it an awkward and nervous first kiss? Do they accidentally knock teeth? Or is it a scene between passionate lovers? What are they feeling? Did they just sneak out to be together and are giddy with adrenaline and excitement? Could it potentially be their last kiss? Fuel the scene with their emotions, or lack thereof. Get a feel for how the characters would interact and behave around each other.

First thought: If the scene where your characters are kissing is not cliched, you have a good beginning. If your characters are well-rounded, unique souls, ditto. The kiss comes from them, from their relationship. Think about that first, then delve into the links below. 

I would also go to YouTube and type in something like “best movie kisses” for some visual inspiration. I’d do that right now, but I’m at work. ;-)

Lots of lip-smacking good description ideas here! 

Brief, but with an example. The KISS principle! (in this case, Keep It Short and Sweet; no insults required.)

1. Are looks important in a relationship?No. I mean, of course I want to be attracted to them, but I don’t have a specific “type” or specific features I look for. I’ve been attracted to all kinds of different women, it’s personality that matters much, much more.8. Describe your crushFunny, cute, sweet, but knows how to talk shit and will turn on a dime if you give her shit. Probably has no clue that I’m into her.

9. Describe your perfect mateAustralia. She lives in Australia.
