#Reading this #quote by #author Thomas Mann,
made me think about the #Jewish concept of #Shomer #Negiah
- as it relates to dating opposite #sex :
"Nothing is more curious and awkward than the relationship of two people who only know each other with their eyes — who meet and observe each other daily, even hourly and who keep up the impression of a slight interest and disinterest because of modesty. Between them there is #listlessness and pent-up curiosity, the hysteria of an #unsatisfied, #unnaturally #suppressed need for #communion and also a kind of tense #respect."
- Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales
