There is a co - worker of mine, I had admired her the first day she work at our department. She is older than, and she is married, even has children already. The first sight I saw her, I had good feeling toward her, but it will be impossible for anything going on. I have to respect her. Would that be a sin, even though you know someone is married, and she has a family. Sometimes, I can't help myself, but took a peek at her from time to time. I just couldn't resist that, her beauty. Maybe I am still young, and shallow. What do you think of it?

It depends on exactly w hat you are thinking when you sneak a peek at your co-worker. If you are thinking how you'd like to take her to bed, you've already committed sin. The bible says that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Hello kingparker,
Nothing wrong in it as to see someone from a distance and to admire someone is not a sin.I too have so many female co workers and i too admire some of them and see them from a distance so that they may not know that i am seeing them but never talked to them.

you can admire from afar but stay well away, she belongs to another, she has children and her life may be happy, if you make a move it could cause complications in the work place with awkward moments, so stay away and admire her from afar. you will see someone one day and fall for her, this seems like you have a crush right now, but she is married and has children

yeah,you are lucky to work with someone that you have a love feeling towards her. But as you said, she has her family with kids, you should keep a distance between her. you can be a good friend with her, but this feel should not and must not go too far. Try to think of her as your best friend, and happily working with her. and Maybe in your spare time, try to find your love earlier but not her. Keep this feeling in heart but not speaking out.

I don't think it's wrong to admire someone just as long as you don't flirt with her or anything similar. Maybe you're just attracted to her physically but not emotionally. It's just that there are still a lot of women out there who might be better than she is. Just my two cents.

I think there is nothing wrong in admiring someone, married or not. It will only start to be a sin if you will have an affair with her. So, just make her your inspiration at work.

The feeling you have for her is so normal.It will only become abnormal if you will let the love you feel for her breaks her family and her relationship.Maybe because she is beautiful that is why you got attracted to her, but deep inside which you don't know is that it is just an admiration.When someone much beautiful than her came,you'll seee.You will surely forget about her.
If not,don't let you ruin her relationship.Always tell yourself that there is lot more people deserving of your love than these girl who is being loved by her own family. :-)

It's never a bad thing to admire someone so I guess what you're doing is okay. Just remember to not let your feelings get in the way since it can definitely ruin your relationship with her. It's just too bad that she is already married but what can you do but to accept the fact that you can't be with her. There are still many fish in the sea so it's still not over mate. I think you're just infatuated with her.

It's ok. You can keep on admiring her. No problem! Just stay right there and don't go beyond it. Look for someone else to be your girl.

dont put yourself in trouble. i think it is normal when i man admires a beautiful woman, as a secret admirer. but it is impossible for you to get closer than just a friend or colleque at woffice where you work now. just remember, she has got a family and a kid. of course her husban gonna angry when know someone likes his wife, and i think you so when you have wife one day

Hello,
As long as you are not doing something to make her fall for you.. It is not bad to have a crush to her but you should know your limitation.. Alright? This feeling is normal because you only have a crush but the bad thing here is when you do something to make her relationship ruin. Maybe you should be concentrated in your work and get a girlfriend.

There is nothing wrong with having a crush on someone or admiring their beauty. As long as you respect her and the fact she is married there shouldn't be a problem. You must be mindful of your staring, if you notice she's feeling uncomfortable you will need to control yourself. Men have a tendency to stare and make woman feel uncomfortable.
From what you have said everything seems to be fine.
