15 Romantic first kiss ideas
1. Watching the stars while pointing out constellations. The winter is the best time for this because the skies are always clear, and my favorite constellation is out then.
2. Walking at night in poet’s snow*.
3. Hiking through the forest, in either spring or fall, and then going bear foot in a river or stream. The kiss would come after the frolicking through the river while putting shoes on while sitting on a big rock.
4. Hiking and coming to an over-look of a valley. Spring, summer, and fall works for this one.
5. After building a snowman or having a sweet snowball fight.
6. In the spring while the fruit blossoms are out (especially cherry blossoms), and the wind is blowing just enough to make them fall like soft pink snow.
7. Sitting on a dock in the middle of summer.
8. In the summer, when it’s raining, either sharing an umbrella or just being in the coolness.
9. Watching fireworks.
10. After catching frogs or bugs, especially fireflies, and being all muddy and smelling like bad swamp… (this is just a me one... lol )
11. During apple picking, or any other harvest of the fall season, like pumpkin picking.
12. In a corn maze, or at the end of one, when all you want to do is paint John Wane’s star in Hollywood pink. That would be sweet. (Both the kiss and the painting of his star.)
13. Watching the sun either set or rise.
14. In the middle of a body of water in a boat that he has rowed you out in. (Pond, or lake)
15. At the top of a Ferris wheel just as the sun is setting.
*Poet’s Snow is the name that I gave to the romantic kind of snow that everyone writes about. It sticks in your hair until you go inside. *

Hey there! Excellent list
Hey there!
Excellent list here. And you've touched on a technique a lot of very good writers use to get started on pieces-- making lists around a theme then working from there. The list itself is a great expression of things that are/could be important to you, and that's where good writing really starts-- you seem very in touch with what you like and what you feel (or could feel). And some items on the list are walking toward cliche maybe-- as in, you always see perfect kisses in movies while fireworks are happening-- but for some reason (maybe it's the hopeless romantic in me) I can still relate to most of these images as really genuine. And I really, really like the idea of poet's snow-- that could perhaps lend itself to an entire poem in and of itself-- but it's a great phrase and you describe what it means to you beautifully at the bottom.
I'd challenge you to take some of these images and see if you can turn them into a poem somehow. How many of them can you connect? Can you take these ideas, these images you imagine as perfect moments, and use them to show something about what love or romance means to you? Play around with them. This kind of list could go in many different directions-- for example, if you didn't want to try to connect the images, you could take one item off the list and describe it in as much detail as you possibly can. Sometimes these exercizes will end up being what a lot of people would call "poems" and sometimes you'll play with them and they'll just give you more images-- images you can draw on in future writing.
Whatever you decide to do with these ideas-- do something! Experiment, play around, rearrange things. Writing is a giant jigsaw puzzle, but the beauty is that there are always a million ways to put the pieces together.
Good luck!

Thanks!
I like how you said that some sound cliche, but they are still genuine and romantic... I'm hoping to write somethings from this list soon, especially about the Poets snow. I love walking outside and having the snow just stick to my hair... It seem really romantic to me, especially if it lands on one's eye lashes.... *I think something's popping up... lol. *

Sometimes, I wonder if love is good or bad.... It can make you feel like you're higher than the tallest mountain, or it can make you feel like the lowest person on earth.....
16.
I had this in a different place, and I thought it would be good to put with the rest.
16. Sitting in a garden on a white swing bench with the top for shade on a sunny day drinking lemonaid and watching the world pass by....

My first relationship
My first relationship started with number 14, except it was a floaty that I pulled her onto instead of a boat.
