He Made Affection Feel Simple

 Denny Agassi, "He Made Affection Feel Simple" (Modern Love) New York Times June 13, 2021, p.ST6

Although my interest was piqued by Jack's picture, it was his gentleness that drew me in.  Our sporadic small talk was harmless, spanning two months.  I brushed him off, but as I commuted to school and spent hours in the library, he was persistent.

COMMENT

For a commuter student, the library is a place of refuge during the day.  The Modern Love column has been a surprisingly rich source of library stories since safe spaces  are important for initiating  romantic encounters. In this love story, the contemplative library space is where a young trans woman  fantasizes about a man she met on Tinder.
