20	A character creates a heart or lips shape by smooching her or his lips and blows it over, usually causing whoever it hits to fall in love. A rare variation of this is an invisible version. This is a situation wherein the recipient actually tries to avoid the air kiss but gets hit by it anyway, usually to some comically haphazard way (ee/g. the kiss knocks them literally off of their feet). In anime, a similar move like this is used when ever a male or female characters winks sometimes a heart pop out of their eyes when they wink, or sometimes when they do wink hearts might fly straight to a person he or she loves or is flirting with.
21
22	In video games, this can be used offensively, usually by a CharmPerson, and usually causes a [[StatusEffects Status Effect]] of "charmed", "infatuated", or the like.
23
24	Related to HeartBeatDown (its own SubTrope), which is framed as a traditional superpower instead of a comedy trope. Might overlap with KissOfDeath.

87	[[folder:Western Animation]]
