The Kissing Warm Up is when a character practices their smooching skills alone. It mostly occurs with young characters who have not had their First Kiss. It may involve kissing your hand, the mirror, a stuffed animal, a live animal, or anything handy.
Frequently occurs in anticipation of a make-out party. Can turn into Cringe Comedy if another character catches them in the act.
If the kissing warm up is with a living person, it's a Practice Kiss. If the kiss is with a live animal who is sapient, you may be looking for Interspecies Romance.
Compare Test Kiss. Not to be confused with I Kiss Your Hand.
Examples of Kissing Warm Up include:

- In Superstar, Mary Katherine Gallagher makes out with a tree trunk.

- In Noughts and Crosses, when Callum and Sephy are having their First Kiss, Sephy's internal monologue mentions that she has practised kissing with her pillow.
