Is this a word that has been lost in translation? Observe means to watch, to look at, to discern.
No, it wasn't lost in translation. It means what you wrote.

You're still not explaining where the action is.
The first action is that in order to be able to observe, you need to seek each others out actively. That's pretty easy if you are in the same school or part of some interest group, otherwise this can be very complicated, especially since you cannot plan it verbally if you use the observation method.
However, just to seek each others company is not enough to advance it. You also need to show off. This too can be quite complicated to do without direct conversation, but it's quite possible.
