don't think too much about it. just enjoy it. you're an artist so do what you do best and just act (: if you're nervous just pretend that you're not. eventually you'll start feeling more confident.

Most onstage kisses aren't really kisses, they just look like they are. Also, some of the kisses could be cut. It is only your first kiss if you want it to be that. And break a leg!

No, you're not at all being stupid. It may sound a little funny to others however. Anyway, if you're nervous, you need to make sure you two decide that this is only a stage kiss and means nothing. Unless it does mean something more. But I'm guessing not, so talk to him, maybe even get to be friends. Then you'll know each other and you won't be enemies, so it's not like you're kissing your enemy. And if you're still nervous, talk to the director and ask if one of you can, instead, kiss their thumb. Then your lips won't meet.

Everybody is nervous for their first kiss, just make sure your breath is fresh, you will be fine. Ask him to practice lines with you and the kisses will get easier.

No you're not being stupid at all. I'd be nervous too, and so would everybody else.
Kissing somebody is easy (and nerve wracking.) Have you ever kissed your pet on the head, a little kid's hurt finger, or parents on the cheek? It's just like that except on the mouth. You have nothing to worry about. It just comes naturally I suppose.

All I can say is to just try and look at it as if it were no big deal. Be professional, eat a mint before hand, and follow the director's cue. Most directors I've worked with have the actors run the scene a few times w/out the kiss first. Break a leg!

you're not being stupid, its kind of scary. but you dont completely have to kiss him. put your hands on his cheeks and your thumbs over his mouth, then kiss your thumbs. but, if you want to kiss him, just pull together all your best acting skills and do it. its all for the show, right? *wink*

I feel your pain.
I was Liesl in The Sound of Music and I had to kiss Rolf - a 25 year old married man with 2 kids.... AWKWARD!
But it wasn't that big of a deal, and he was really nice about it.
Don't worry about it, and don't count it as your first kiss since it didn't mean anything!

haha no way you're not being stupid! hey okay im 15 and i had to kiss this senior guy for my musical south pacific.
my best advice to you based on my experience, if you are waaaaaaaaaay too uncomfortable, talk to your director about it, they can have black outs at the kissing parts.

two: talk to the guy and make sure you have everything straight. admit your nervous. it's better to get to know him better for the sake of stage presence and connection.

three: seriously. befriend him.
