German term (edited):
Nähe herstellt
remains distant
Actually I think Kim's suggestion is a good one, but this would be another possibility - obviously it's just a turning around of the idea that's being expressed.
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Steffen Walter
: perhaps "remains largely/relatively distant" because of "wenig Nähe herstellt"

establishes little conversance in interaction
I like the other answers as well, but this also seems a good possibility.
Peer comment(s):
| disagree |
Armorel Young
: conversance is a rather obscure word meaning to have knowledge of a subject - it is not possible to "establish conversance" (the more usual phrase is "to be conversant with s.th." - but it's just not appropriate here)
