‘Can’t Kiss’ by Pavel Bolo is the cutest use of [creepy dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears) ever. The title gives away the whole theme of these photos--a couple's inability to kiss--but the situations and obstacles are what make ‘Can’t Kiss’ so cute and original.

I am a sucker for [all things love](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-couples-socks), so it’s only natural that Can’t Kiss had me hooked from the title. This young [doll couple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-in-stitches) has way too many obstacles! From a fridge to a computer, these poor kids just can’t catch a break.
