00:00 Welcome to MsMojo and today we're counting down our picks for those memorable TV smooches
00:12 that gave us all the feels as we watched friendships blossom into something more.
00:18 Heads up though, today we're only focusing on live action couples.
00:34 Creddi's unrequited love story was practically a running gag in the original series.
00:40 Honestly, we generally didn't think anything more would come of it.
00:49 That is, until the series' revival.
00:51 When we rejoined the iCarly gang years later, it became clear that this love story wasn't
00:57 so one-sided anymore.
00:59 It takes time for their stars to align, but the moment is worth the wait.
01:04 After falling out, Carly manages to gather some previously thought to be lost photos,
01:10 reminding her friend of some of their happiest memories.
01:28 Carly tells Freddi how much he means to her and that she wants to be with him.
01:32 He, of course, reciprocates and…
01:46 While our teenage hearts jumped for joy.
01:58 In season one, Simon meets Daphne Bridgerton and, practically before anyone's tea has
02:04 a chance to cool, he's fallen for her.
02:07 Only one problem - she's his good friend Antony's little sister, and he does not
02:13 approve.
02:14 Anyway, they initially fake a relationship during which a real friendship develops.
02:24 Even so, the tension between them is palpable, constantly leaving audiences on the edge of
02:35 their seats.
02:36 Yet, despite all those longing looks and lingering touches, it took four episodes until we finally
02:43 got that long-awaited kiss.
02:52 A heated argument leads Simon to follow Daphne to the garden, and the intensity of the moment
02:58 consumes them.
02:59 Who needs a coal fire with that kind of heat?
03:16 This one was destined in the stars.
03:19 Glow stars, that is.
03:20 And it was clearly smitten from the beginning that Amy was still married.
03:25 Still, there's nothing to make you throw caution to the wind more than, well, strong
03:29 winds that come with a safety caution.
03:42 The Cloud Nine Superstore employees and their customers go into lockdown when a tornado
03:47 siren sounds.
03:48 When the storm tears through the store, the pair hold onto each other in terror, ultimately
03:54 seeking comfort in each other's lips.
04:06 It would take a while for these two to become an item, but the winds of change had already
04:11 started to blow them toward one another.
04:27 From the moment Mulder and Scully entered our lives, we could sense a romantic spark
04:33 between them.
04:34 There was the odd flirtation here and a strong desire there, but ultimately, their romantic
04:39 feelings remained largely unspoken.
04:41 However, things took a turn in Season 6.
04:45 We don't mean the kiss Mulder shares with an alternate universe Scully after he's sent
04:50 back in time.
04:55 A few episodes after that, Scully admits she has feelings for Mulder and talks about how
05:01 good relationships often start as friendships.
05:15 Yet fans had to wait until Season 7 and a new millennium's impending doom for the much-anticipated
05:22 kiss.
05:23 Nothing makes people want to be together like the thought of everything falling apart, huh?
05:46 Jake and Amy's friendship begins as a friendly rivalry.
05:49 Luckily, this dynamic makes them a great team.
05:53 On this occasion, they go undercover as an engaged couple while tracking down an identity
05:58 fraudster.
06:09 To make their cover believable, they engage in a little smooching.
06:13 But, you know, just as professional colleagues.
06:16 They end up catching the guy, but that becomes a footnote to the shift in their relationship.
06:22 Still, they decide to just stay friends.
06:29 Until Captain Holt drops some bombshell news.
06:33 He's leaving.
06:34 Jake finds Amy taking a quiet moment of contemplation and the pair discuss the big change.
06:41 Speaking of changes, they share another kiss, but this time, it's definitely for real.
06:50 These two first meet when David decides to launch a new business and Patrick helps him
07:01 fill out some forms.
07:02 Or at least tries to.
07:17 Patrick becomes a more hands-on colleague, but as Alexis and Stevie point out, it's
07:22 not just the business he's invested in.
07:25 After David's birthday dinner, Patrick drives him back to the motel and finally lays his
07:30 feelings on the table.
07:44 David reciprocates by planting one on him.
07:47 It's a sweet moment between the two, filled with warmth, vulnerability and a genuine connection.
07:53 Patrick's post-kiss confession just makes the moment even more tender and heartfelt.
08:14 We just knew this would be a relationship worth rooting for, and we were not disappointed.
08:25 When Leslie and Ben first meet, we couldn't have imagined them becoming friends, let alone
08:30 anything more.
08:31 However, they soon grow to like each other, and eventually, all these other feelings come
08:47 bubbling to the surface.
08:49 There's just one issue.
08:51 Chris has a strict no-workplace-romance rule.
08:55 Things get a tad more complicated when the colleagues are sent on a road trip together
08:59 and must do everything in their power not to give in to temptation.
09:14 Indeed Leslie out-Leslies herself to keep things platonic and professional.
09:19 However, later, when she drops by with some receipts, Ben seizes the moment.
09:27 It's sweet and romantic.
09:34 We love this moment, and we like this moment.
09:38 Number 3 - Joey Potter and Pacey Witter - Dawson's Creek
09:43 Erm, Dawson and Joey who?
09:46 Many fans will tell you this series' central couple was Joey and Pacey.
09:50 And boy, did they make us wait for it.
09:53 At first, the pair had a somewhat tumultuous dynamic, marked by endless banter and bickering.
09:59 However, beneath it all was a genuine affection and connection.
10:04 Their relationship takes another step in season 3 when, while driving Joey home from Boston,
10:09 Pacey pulls over to discuss their relationship status.
10:23 When words fail, he finds another way to let his lips do the talking.
10:27 While this isn't their first kiss, it's the one that transitions their relationship
10:32 from friendship to something more.
10:43 It also feels like it set the stage for Stefan and Caroline's relationship in The Vampire
10:49 Diaries.
10:55 Number 2 - Jess Day and Nick Miller - New Girl
10:59 Nick's heart skipped a beat practically from the first moment he laid eyes on Jessica Day.
11:05 See, I fell in love with Jess the moment she walked through the door.
11:09 Boo!
11:10 Really?
11:11 It took her a little longer to realize she felt the same way too.
11:20 The romantic tension between them came to a head during an intense game of True American
11:26 in season 2.
11:28 In fact, they spend a chunk of the evening trying not to kiss.
11:41 Nick even climbs out the window just to avoid any lips locking.
11:46 Later, when they're alone, Nick shows Jess the kind of first kiss he had envisioned for
11:53 them.
11:54 It's honestly one of the series' steamiest moments.
11:59 While a romantic relationship was still some way down the road, we couldn't help but squeal
12:04 in delight.
12:16 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honourable mentions.
12:20 Monica Geller and Chan LeBing, friends.
12:23 We only see this moment in a flashback, but it brings back all the feels from when we
12:28 first learned they'd hooked up.
12:39 Temperance Bones Brennan and Celie Booth, bones.
12:43 Even they seem taken aback that it finally happened.
12:57 Eleanor Shellstrop and Judy Anagonye, the good place.
13:01 This moment takes them from soulmates to soulmates.
13:18 Charlotte York and Harry Goldenblatt, sex and the city.
13:23 Technically they went from lawyer and client to lovers, but let's not get caught up on
13:28 jargon.
13:29 This is THE moment.
13:45 Robin Schabowski and Barney Stinson, how I met your mother.
13:49 Who saw this coming?
13:51 They watched it over and over that night until finally, they stopped watching.

14:15 1) Niles Crane and Daphne Moon, Frasier Talk about a slow burn.
14:22 We waited seven seasons for something to happen between these two.
14:27 It was love at first sight for Niles, but Daphne was totally oblivious to his feelings
14:32 until years later.
14:34 However, by the time she realizes she too wants something more than friendship, fate
14:47 continues to keep them apart.
14:49 Then the night before Daphne's wedding to another man, Niles, who is now married, decides
14:55 to take a leap of faith and bares his heart to her.
15:09 After several interruptions, they continue their conversation on the balcony.
15:14 It's when we finally got the moment we've been waiting for all this time.
15:25 Talk about leaving it until the eleventh hour.
