Hello,

I need to describe a situation when two people rub their chins against each other in a romantic way.

I googled "rubbed chins" but apparently, it's not the right verb. How would you describe this?

Who on earth rubs their chins together in a romantic way?! :shock:

(The photo didn't help - that's not a natural position for two people to be in!)

I have seen it in movies! They also sometimes rub their noses against each other!
 
"Nuzzle" is a handy way to describe the sensual contact of body parts.
 
Does this work?

I saw the young couple in kitchen nuzzling their noses against each other.

NOT A TEACHER


Here in the (United) States, many people no longer shake hands because of the pandemic.

Some people now just touch each other's fist: they bump fists.

So maybe those two persons in the picture could be said to be bumping (touching) (knocking) chins.
