Question:

Dr Chopra, I am a married woman with a 5 year old child in early 30’s. I happened to travel for work recently and worked with a man who I started admiring for his professional ability. We always met in a group setting, so we never got a chance to talk alone. Over the two weeks, I realized by his behaviour that he liked me. I was confused and felt guilty about my feelings of admiration and respect for him. I did not want to lead him on, so I avoided eye contact with him for the next few days and did not bid any formal goodbye when I left. I am back home, but I am unable to forget him. I constantly keep thinking about him. I am unable to find any happiness when spending time with my family. I feel heartbroken and sad. I have shared these feelings with my husband. Would it be wrong to extend friendship to the person? I appreciate your advice.
