Hello. I've been quite contented in a relationship which has lasted so far for 2 years. However, I feel rather awkward when I'm talking to a particular woman at work. When other guys talk to her I feel a little knot in my stomach. So what does this mean? Thanks.

A female reader, Emilysanswers United Kingdom +, writes (24 January 2009):

You feel protective over her.

This means you see her as either a girlfriend who you want for yourself, or you are so close that you see her like a little sister who must be protected from these guys.

I can't tell you if you like her as a sister or a lover. Try thinking of her in THAT way when you are alone and see if it feels utterly wrong (you see her as a little sister) or strangely right (you may have a bit of a crush)

Humans weren't designed with long term professional relationships in mind so it's only natural that you may feel a little confused.

Good Luck!! xx

didda123 agony auntI think you have an attraction for this woman and are feeling a sexual chemistry when you are around her which is making you feel awkward.

I don't know whether you feel she has the same feelings for you but you are now feeling that she is out of bounds for anyone else and are getting a bit territorial so to speak.

I honestly wouldn't get involved unless you want to risk your present relationship. If you do want to persue a relationship end the one you are having at the moment i know you are saying you are quite content in that one but if you are eyeing up other women at this stage maybe she is not the one for you!
