You're going to have to rehearse. Remind yourself this is acting, not real life, and the kiss is just pretend.

Tell your scene partner that you're not that familiar with kissing and if you're uncomfortable. You can work it out together.

You probably won't have to actually kiss in rehearsals for a while... it'll probably be an option, but I highly recommend rehearing it as much as possible to get comfortable with it

I suggest rehearsing once you get closer to dress rehearsals and opening night. If you are seriously uncomfortable with kissing someone on the lips, talk to your partner about it and plan something else-- perhaps kissing right off the lips and putting your hands romantically around the face as to hide it from the audience? There are always lots of options.

Hope this helps!!

Take your lips and suck them into your mouth. I mean, so your lips are securely out of sight. Then have the other person do it too, and put your faces together gently. It doesn't actually count as kissing.
Or you can kiss at the corners of your lips and practice until it looks good.

That is what your Director is for. Have them show you how to do it.
