999: The kissing scene.

More awkward if you're twelve, a boy, watching with your parents, get a hard-on, or any combination thereof.

Generally awkward if you're in the presence of such an individual.

First, the music. You know its coming. You writhe in your seat, nervously glancing around, hoping someone else is going to break out in a giggle fit. No dice, which makes your nearly irrepressible desire to to twitter like a school girl that much more embarrassing, especially if you're not a school girl. Their faces inch closer, cheese-ball music crescendos as their lips touch, and you try very hard to hid your discomfort, either in your face or your pants, with that lone throw pillow that's just too small for the job.

Awkward.

1000: The side hug

You know what I'm talking about. You want physical contact, but you're juuuuust not sure if full frontal is remotely acceptable. So, rather than go for it and risk rejection, you pull your subject, by the shoulder, into your arm pit, not unlike a stack of books.

Awkward.
