When Juliet says "you kiss by the book" to Romeo, she means that he kisses in a very formal and rehearsed manner, as if following a set of rules or guidelines. She is jokingly suggesting that he is too proper and lacks passion in his kiss.
Juliet says it to Romeo in Act 1, Scene 5 of "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare.
Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5JULIETThen have my lips the sin that they have took.ROMEOSin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!Give me my sin again.JULIETYou kiss by the book.
It's a textbook kiss. "You kiss by the book" she says.
Act I Scene V. Romeo goes to a masquarade party held by Capulet and manages to kiss Juliet, who thinks he is Paris.
Romeo and Juliet first kiss at the masquerade party hosted by the Capulets' as a way for Paris to "woo" Juliet. "You kiss by th' book" --Juliet (1.5.111)
I suppose you mean Act 2 Scene 5 where Juliet is waiting for the nurse to come back. In Act 4 Scene 5 she is waiting for the potion to wear off so she'll wake up. Act 3 Scene 5 is a busy scene with not much time in it for waiting. In Act 1 Scene 5 Juliet is waiting for Romeo to kiss her when she says, "Saints do not move, but grant for prayers' sake."
Romeo and Juliet
She doesn't. The closest they come is in Act 1 Scene 5 (the party scene) where they use this elaborate religious metaphor of a kiss transferring sin from one person to another, not quite like an absolution in the confessional but sort of. But Romeo starts off this particular metaphor, not Juliet. She just doesn't talk about kissing him very much.
yes
You need to know how to kiss well. You should describe how the characters begin the kiss, and then what they do during it. You write how the POV character feels during the kiss, and what happens when he or she feels those emotions. Then, write how they end the kiss.

It suggests that the kiss is done in a conventional or traditional way, possibly lacking in genuine emotion or passion.
