Happen to remember any details on what the trope was about? Page images get changed from time to time.

Well like I implied earlier, the trope was about people who want nothing else but to kiss. I personally doubt the image has changed as it was too fitting to be removed. I can't remember enough detail though, I just remember the pic associated with it. Look, if you don't know, then could you find someone else who might know?

We need to stop the stupidity of broken political systems and the media that support them.

As for finding someone who might know, you're already in the right place for that. Think of this thread less as a Gate of Truth staffed by Ancient Keepers and more like throwing down a bag of gold on the bar at an Inn Between the Worlds and asking if anyone knows where to find the trope you're looking for. X3

I like a needle hunt, ergo, I looked into it and let you know what I needed to help with my search. I'll keep looking, you've got a bunch of other regulars probably keeping an eye out for it while they look for other tropes who haven't replied yet. It takes us a while to say for certain we don't have something, so keep checking back.

As for the search itself: at this point, I've dug through all of the standard romance tropes, and none of them have had that as a page image.

So either its one of those super obscure tropes that the indexes and cross-wiks have overlooked, or the page image is not what you are describing. Setting aside the possibility of We Have This I Swear striking, not fitting the trope isn't the only reason page images get changed- creators or companies may invoke their copyrights, the image may have been posted without source and removed as a precautionary measure, an even better suggestion might have been made and implemented, the image picking folks might have disagreed that it fit the trope perfectly and removed it...

Basically, trying to find a trope from an image description alone is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. And the needle you're looking for might not be there anymore. And might be in one of the several other haystacks nearby. And the person who asked you to find it might have forgotten to mention that it was a pine tree needle.

Your answer is a good example of why I asked if you had any more information: there's a big difference between "character can't figure out what their love interest wants" and "a character wants nothing else but to kiss". Details matter a lot sometimes.

Digging deeper: was the trope specifically about wanting be kissed, or was it more about the fact that the two are failing to express their feelings toward one another, or was the focus on another aspect of the situation? The first would be under Kissing Tropes, for instance, while the second would be under headings like Introversion Tropes or Idealism Tropes, and another aspect could fall under something else entirely.

Other things that could help are whether it had a lot of entries or not, and what genres was it most closely associated with?
