First kisses are awkward. And scary. And uncomfortable. And if you're lucky, it can be romantic enough to make your knees wobble.

Los Angeles-based filmmaker Tatia PIlieva, along with Wren Studio, managed to capture those heart-stopping and breathtaking moments by asking 20 strangers to kiss for the first time on camera. The result is a candid look at love, romance and chemistry.

The first few moments feel awkward, as they make small talk: "What's your name again?" "Can we turn off the lights?" "You have nice eyes." "It's actually pretty scary." But then, like longtime lovers, each pair goes in for the kill — and somehow, everything works out. Actually, it's pretty sweet.

The video accrued almost 2.5 million views in one day, sending it to the front page of Reddit.
